She take my money, when I'm in need

Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed…

 

you want some real advice? Employ a trend following strategy; you're looking for bars that SEO delivers as the fourth or fifth result when you type "hot PE singles bar LA". You're trying to catch a mate too slow to to do anything original, but inquisitive enough to be enamored by the marketing and stay past its prime. you're looking for people that will whore out their mother for prestige. where were celebrities, attractive people with real cultural influence seen recently? they won't be there anymore when you show up, but the pe guys will fill the vaccum chasing what's left of the bottles and models. subscribe to the illusion that you're in the "it" place, measured not by where the puck is going, but where it was. try the bungalow? pay some people off to get into the soho house? i hear if you say you went to nobu loud enough in public someone in pe will quip, "so good"

 

just hang around the century city mall lol. you’ll run into tons of guys in PE / IB / consulting, especially at the sweetgreen during the lunch and dinner rushes
