While that's true generally, unfortunately that isn't true for high finance. IB gals have some type of superiority complex.

 

Trust me, I own up to my shit posts... literally and figuratively, as many of my posts have to do with pooping.

But never mind that. In my honest opinion, the guys who get the most girls are not the investment bankers working 80+ hours a week making $300k/year. In fact, I would argue that they are very unattractive to women. Yeah, money is cool and all, but from a woman's perspective, when you never see your boyfriend because he is always at work, and he is out of shape, has nothing other than finance to talk about, can't take you on dates, and can't live his life, that's probably not the ideal relationship. Think of it this way - you can have the smartest, most attractive guy on the entire planet. If he is sitting in his office or alone in his apartment working, there is a 0% chance of him getting laid. It CANNOT happen. Then take the ugliest dumbass in existence. So long as he is at a bar, and in an atmosphere surrounded by others, there is at least SOME chance (a nonzero probability) of him finding his soul mate. Now, obviously, you need to have some sort of balance - women do not like broke ugly guys. So to be real, the guys who get the most girls (IN MY OPINION) are sociable, decent-looking, moderately-fit guys who have a steady job, make $50-100k/year, and can still hit the bars after work.

 

Yeah, nothing more sexy than a pimple faced skinny-fat cubicle monkey who sits on his ass for 12 hrs a day writing pitchbooks, eating seamless takeout and red bull going on WSO inquiring about “prestige” while making 150k/year taxed at 40%.. Get f***ing real you guys lmao. I don’t what’s sadder, those guys, or the wannabes that surf this site hoping to be one of them lolol.

 

I didn't even know that this was what people thought. In general, money starts to become a factor to girls when you're 30 or older, not when you're in your early 20s.. unless you're some sort of millionaire rockstar in your 20s, then it's different.

A girl in her 20s will most of the time go for a bum who's good-looking and has a solid social group. He's something interesting and exciting: a musician, surf instructor, "entrepreneur" (read: unemployed).. Once she's nearing her late 20s or early 30s, the finance professional starts to appear a lot more attractive.

 

Any decent looking guy with a job in a big city 'can' get a lot of p****y.

NYC is like shooting fish in a barrel. IB is mainly in NYC. So there you have it.
