Red Flag: Watching American Psycho on our first date?

So I was on a date last night (I'm a girl) with this "finance bro" who works at the same bank as me (BB).

He suggested we go to his apartment for "Netflix and chill", which we all know what leads to.

So he puts on American Psycho (1st red flag), and then he pauses right at that stupid scene where Christian Bale was railing those blonde hookers while flexing his biceps in the mirror (second red flag) Now comes the funny part. After he paused it, we do "it", and then he mimics Bale exactly. Exact same position, exact same bicep flexing in the mirror, all while quoting that stupid shit about Huey Lewis and The News, for like half an hour straight (3rd red flag). Then he got dressed, put on a suit and raincoat and told me to leave or he would "fucking chainsaw you, you stupid bastard" (4th red flag), so I WALKED down the hallway to the elevator, when all of a sudden I heard Doom music (5th red flag) and there he was, with a sledgehammer moaning at the top of his lungs until I got into the elevator.

If a 6'2, blonde guy in S&T at Barclays who went to Dartmouth ever asks you to "Netflix and chill", GTFO.

I'm just going to leave your other post here: Those are some pretty good numbers for a Girl.

So is your brother 6'2", blonde, in S&T and a Dartmouth alumn? What else do you share?

*dun dun* In the criminal justice system...

Ok I'm bought in now

This is false - American Psycho is not currently on Netflix.

Troll.

Thanks, I almost fell for it... Did force the guy Friday night to watch Trading Places, Granted I used to walk down that block into Rittenhouse Sq. and the final floor for NYMEX was across the street.  The BBG codes for FCOJ and pork bellies are horrible though.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
