Dude, i'm serious. I work in banking. But I never made any new female friends since I started. I only get bitches at bars. Didn't know you can become friends with women u meet at bars/clubs?

 

You don't work in banking, check you profile : "prospective monkey"

And weren't you the one asking how to get into clubs with dudes and ZERO girls. Man I am still in school as I assume you are and if you don't get laid/talk to girls now don't think becoming a banker will automatically turn you into a pimp. If anything it will be much harder to pull girls being in front of a computer 100 hrs a week.

 

You have to apply online to be their friends.

@ Wannabe: Just because the profile lists me as a prospective monkey doesn't mean i am.... When I open an account, I couldn't careless to change the industry. Surprised you didn't notice my DOB. The only female friends I have are ones I made before I entered banking. I was just wondering how/where you guys became friends with females (note: i'm not talking about picking up girls).

 

Try Backofficesluts.com..............they only work at the bank so that they can bang a banker, have his kids, and then spend his money while he's working his ass off to "provide."

you mean nice girls who may have the potential to be a grilfriend? or "just friends" kind of friends? if it's the latter, why it has to be a female? so you can go shopping together, put on make up for each other...?

to be honest: are you gay? e.g. that's a common explanation for why some men enjoy platonic female company (they just feel more comfortable with their interests).

If that's the case you may be out of luck considering the personality of women bankers (of which they are few to begin with). But please consider that there are benefits to having outside-of-work friends too. I'm straight so I only usually befriend females for romantic interest but here's an example: just the other day I went into a B&N to get out of the rain and went over to browse the magazine section. I saw a girl reading an art magazine and the cover had the shark-in-formaldehyde art piece of daniel hirsh. very controversial. and so I asked her about it and got into a discussion. pretty soon her friend came over (I thought she was alone but apparently came with a friend). We introduced ourselves. And we started to talk about places we like to go, etc. --There you go- just met two interesting females.

 

@Island, I have, but those friends aren't the ones I met since I started working in banking. My question was, once you started working in ib, where do you meet women that you eventually became friends with? My days are typically work and then home. Aside from that, I usually don't meet any women other than the ones at clubs/bars.

wtf is this shit. women were not designed to be our friends.

acceptable roles of women include: -giver of blowjobs -preparer of food -recipient of abortion -provider of vaginal cavity -house cleaning -showing tits for beads

acceptable roles of friends include: -group sports watching -talking about sports -playing sports -talking about slamming clunge -wingman -spotter at gym -drunk driving co-pilot

as you can clearly observe, the two groups are mutually exclusive, rendering it impossible to have a female friend. QED

LOL. Post of the year. Banana for you.

 

so it's all about the ultimate question: is there real friendship between men and women?

look, if a woman is attractive and unrelated to you by blood, your friendship with her will always be a sham. that's not to say that you two can't have friendly exchanges, but rather that the thought of buttering her muffin will always be in the back of your mind.

 

When I read this macho crap - banker's talking about all the models and sex they're getting, it reminds me of being at school as a 12 year old boy listening to the virgins talk about how much sex they were getting.

I'll have a poke at answering the question seriously.

Girls in IBD - introduce yourself on a Friday evening after work,

Girls out of IBD - go to a class, a society, a workshop, a gym, a hobby group, or any other social gathering where you don't know many people, and introduce yourself.
