IB Dating

Question from female. Obviously men are a majority here but how do you guys date? How do you find the time and the people? I think most guys on dating apps either broke or losers or are great at ghosting. Do you think investment bankers would be into FWB? For me, it’s perfect. I take out all intensity in sex and will have someone to go to nice places with(without worrying about how much money they make. I will pay for myself but still) Was anyone able to meet and retain FWB situation? Where do you meet the people? Events? Friends? Insights appreciated

I Wana know the answer except I am a guy. Tried dating apps and the girls are shit. Just hard to meet people in generally if you are working and busy all the time. I’m not bad looking , always been received well by girls when I talk to them. But since I’ve started working just never feel I get the chance to meet any. Not sure what to do

 

True, and the only people you see all day you can’t date. I hope someone says something useful lol

 

Assuming your office is in a solid location within a metropolitan city, make it a habit to eat lunch at your desk then leave for 20 minutes to "go to the corner store" around lunchtime. Talk to girls on the street. You can easily get 1-3 numbers per weekday doing this.

Best of luck.

Controversial

i would definitely be open to it since I got out of a relationship and am finally ready to put myself out there. I just don't think i'm good enough for you! you are an analyst (most likely in NYC) probably from a target, while im just an incoming SA from a canadian non-target who will be in nyc this summer.

I really want to date a banker and I love powerful women who are also caring and spontaneous. If you are still unattached and single (i doubt this will happen, because you seem pretty amazing so far haha), we could grab a coffee!

 

Also a nice Canadian boy moving to NYC this summer. Not big on dating apps, but what I've found to be helpful is when you go out with your co-workers' friends, who introduce you to other friends that work at diff companies and are fair game. Since your co-workers spend so much time with you, they're oftenhappy to put in a good word. Perhaps ask your co-workers to intro you to some of their other buddies when you all go out after hours.

 

Nice guys definitely still exist (I'm about to get shredded on this thread for saying this). Honestly, the best FWB and/or dates I have ever met have been through my friends. Maybe I am in the minority here, but I have a group of about 10 friends in NYC that are all in NYC in different industries. Two other guys and I went to college together, and the others I met here. We all have other friends as well that get introduced to the core group, and that's how I have met any pdf the girls I have dated or kept a FWB relationship with. It's harder when you are in Banking like most of us, but still possible...... DO NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR CO-WORKERS. Made that mistake.

 

what, so tinder but with more dudes and fewer social skills?

sounds like a winner.

Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Investment Banking Full-time Analyst Programme (London) at JPMorgan Chase. After a thorough review of your application, we regret to inform you that we are unable to move forward with your candidacy at this time.
 
"Madisonave" if you’re just looking for a FWB why does it matter if their broke? I’d say the best place to find FWB in nyc is waiters/waitresses and bartenders. Young people with flexible schedule and always know how to have a good time. Unless they’re too “broke” 4 u
As a male, I have an irrational paranoia about hooking up with very low income females. Always feel like they're going to find a way toscam me and get pregnant.
 

to scam you and get pregnant how is this even possible? and please don’t give me the she said she was on the pill excuse. if any guy gets a girl pregnant it’s 100% on them and trust me you’re truly missing out if you don’t give a girl a chance based on her income alone

 

I stopped dating long ago. Now I have way more money to spend on Chef Boyardee. Best decision I've ever made

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

Confidently walk into a midtown bar with a name tag that states “Incoming Summer Analyst”. There is no doubt on earth that women will line up in the masses to talk to you.
