How do you manage dating / meeting women in IB?

I have been dating a lot and have been quite successful at it even though I am somewhat similar to you. My only interests are gaming and working out. I'm also someone who doesn't like to sit and talk shit for hours as I don't feel that I get anything out of it. Below are a few things that have worked for me. Keep in mind that I only do one-night stands so might not work as well if you want long-term relationships.

Focus on her rather than yourself. It's much easier to ask questions than to answer them and most people like to talk about themselves anyways. It's also quite easy to find things to speak about on the first date. Just ask her about her interests, her family, her job, her upbringing, her opinion on things etc. And then you just chime in with your own experiences. 

I also tend to give women a few compliments, but NEVER on their looks. Women get 20 messages from guys about how hot they are every time they post a picture. As such, compliments on looks will not come across as original in any way. Might just be me as well, but feels beta as fuck going around telling a woman how hot she is. Instead, compliment on things such as being ambitious for working double jobs in college or that she is a very good daughter who took care of her mother when she was sick etc. 

Lastly, never let women know where you stand. As soon as you pronounce that you're into her or that you want to sleep with her, you become less interesting. Instead, be flirty with her but never make it clear what you actually want. She should have an idea of what you want but never be certain.

These things have worked really well for me. Went on 2-3 dates a week for a few months and only failed to get laid twice. Once I actually failed and the other time I ended up fingering some girl on her period (disgusting). 

I’m pretty uninteresting as well (I watch sports drink and lift), but it’s all about the way you pitch it/feel about it. Eg. “I work 18 hours a day on a job that idgaf about drown my sorrows in ciroc and lift cuz it’s the only way to get out my aggression” makes you sound like a twerp whereas “I immerse myself in my career to build the life I want to live, I know how to play hard and have a good time with my friends, and I always am improving my mind as well as my body by working out” makes you sound like a man who knows what he wants. Girls rlly don’t give a fuck what you’re interested in, they give a fuck if you have direction in life and are confident with that direction (ie you’re the captain of the ship solo and with her). Being bold and confident salesman will get you 90% of chicks. Hell, I saw a cute girl behind me at a stoplight yesterday and put “what’s ur #” in big letters on my phone using Snapchat and held it out the window. Girl laughed and gave me her Instagram. Be every sleazy guy you have ever resented, that’s what worked for me. Hope you get lucky soon big man!!

As the champion of getting no bitches, I followed the post

First of all you need to get your life together. It seems that you personally feel a lack of extracurricular accomplishment so would focus on that. Don’t blame your job, just make some time on the weekends to find some new activity and meet new friends. Travel a bit. If you need to push back in staffings then so be it. Independently of who you’re talking to (girls, mates), people don’t want to talk about work all the time. You need to discuss hobbies and your life. If you really have NOTHING to say, practice the “chain of association” by yourself. Look it up, will make you better at improvising about random subjects. 
 

Second of all, there is literally nothing more repulsive to a woman than an insecure yes-man. You DO need to work on your game, otherwise you’re never gonna have success with a quality girl. You need to be edge. Stop this listener type personality right now. Be more edgy, express your opinions, contradict people (without offending them of course). 
 

The fundamentals of game are 1) eye contact and smile 2) lean back, relax, be non needy  3) make sure your clothing is on point and you’re properly shaved etc 4) go to the gym 5) push/pull (compliment then take it back) 6) actually go for the win rather than playing to avoid the lose. 
 

In terms of logistics, if you go out you should naturally meet people, in hobbies too, but otherwise just hinge and tinder my man. 

Look around. Smell the roses. Realize that you’re basically the Wolf of Wall Street and not the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Sack up. Make her CIM. And add some rational assumptions about how long you’ll last into the DCF and don’t forget to re-lever your beta. You got this dawg.

It’s the name of the game. You’re not in Chattanooga anymore it’s time to adapt.

Honestly bro, just hit the gym and clean up your diet, fix your style, hygiene and haircut (ironed clothes that fit well, groomed hair and beard, clear skin etc.), and smile confidently. Within 6 months girls will be asking you out, especially you're in IB and make decent money. Once you fix some of these areas, I'd hire a photographer and take 3-4 really good photos for dating apps if time is an issue. Hobbies are not as important to girls as they make out to be, they should be important to you. Not having one is a sign of a deeper issue than whether or not you can talk to a girl. Pick anything you genuinely enjoy and go with it. Guys are out here dating 9s playing Minecraft and building Legos with them, not everyone needs to be playing guitar 

just send dic pics on LinkedIn

Almost all the women I date are in IB…usually at my own firm. Dangerous game but haven't met HR yet. Don't think there's a better dating pool. They understand the lifestyle, very cultured and incredibly smart. I'm boring and introverted, but I actually make the effort. It's the small things. Setting up a quick dinner in the middle of her 90hr week/grabbing coffee, she'll appreciate it. Talking about work is normal but good to explore their mind/interest.

You guys get dates??

The IB lifestyle is brutal and it’s soul crushing without having solid connections in your life.  Over the past couple of years, I have learned  that everyone 100% replaceable at work and there is way more to life than banking.  Don’t get me wrong,  I want to excel at work, but it’s not enough for me. I also want to build a life outside of work and having a partner is an essential part of that.  For me, dating a girl in IB has been amazing. I was initially skeptical but I would 100% recommend.  My girlfriend is smart, fun, kind and understanding. Some weeks we don’t have a lot of time, but we typically spend a lot of nights/mornings together.  Other weeks are better and we get more time to actually get out and do things like dinner, hiking, going to the gym, visiting family, spending time with friends etc.  Being able to truly relax with someone and just have fun together and caring about someone and knowing that they care about you in return, these are the things that just make life so much better.  Work is way better when you are happy.  

Im an introvert, just go on more dates the hard part is getting on the dates. Everyone is boring to someone and interesting to another so it won't really matter.

It’s just like interviewing - craft a back story as to why you are relevant. Don’t drop it all at once, but think about what makes you unique. 

Just curious, are y'all going on all these dates through dating apps like Tinder or Hinge? Or are you just asking random girls out

Please don't take advice from the guy who only does one night stands. That means he can't maintain. The females may not want a second round, my friend. There is zero underlying friendship. Don't listen to him. 

literally me, 25 years old, still virgin and never been kissed and dated. yeah sounds crazy

Since I graduated I'd estimate I've slept with close to triple digits number of women over 4 years of IB. Wouldn't say it is because I'm super naturally attractive myself or whatever because I didn't get laid nearly as much at school and don't do fantastically in nightclubs where you can't speak to people. What I'd say helped the most was working on being confident and funny, most of the women even said that I pretty much laughed them into bed.
