Bizzaro Co-Worker

I know someone who fits the description to a tee. A completely useless type. All his peers know he's useless. However all the directors think he's brilliant!

All I can fathom is that he's a "guy's guy" whose on cue all the time. What I mean is... he has puuuurfect timing to schmooze and always at the right place, right time.

Personally, I could gag at the sight of the fella. But the higher ups buy his sherade... it's fascinating really.

Every one does it... its probably about the $$'s

True.

Listen boi...

Oh please say "babe" one more time. Such a turn on. Say it in your sexy voice though. Rrrr.

i think every shop has that guy who most juniors/ peers think W.T.F. about yet the seniors just lurve (mostly someone who's a lateral hire). Unfortunate lesson to learn, but true - they love a brown noser even if they recognize him for what he is...

I personally don't know how these guys hide their incompetence as it must surely take a modicum of intelligence to hide such serious failings??

Fabulous, I forgot about that one. Alright, let's add that to the list of lame boyish remarks...

1. "Is it that time of month"
2. "Babe"
3. "...get your panties in a bunch"

WHO gets panties in a bunch? Women? 'Cuz only little girls wear panties and the average girl stops wearing panties by oh, say the age of 12.

Seanc, Oh okay, I get it! Is that what you're into? Shall we call out Chris Hanson from "To Catch a Predator" on you?

What's with you kids today? I mean honestly. Are you so insecure that you can't craft a witty response unless it contains "babe", "get your panties in a bunch" or "is it that time of the month?" Nothing reveals your adolescense more than the use of such colloquialisms.

Now I can't wait for the next smartass to chime in with something equally stupid and ridiculous in commentary.

Oh dear. Do I sound irritated? Damn, forgot to take my Pamprin. (Must be that time of the month)

Ja ja ja... asenticing as that thought is, I fear you may only last but a yactosecond.

Just not enough of a man for me!

Wow. This guy's a real winner.

Seanc... based on your retort I assume you're between 16-19 years old? It's all good kid.

I know you didn't mean to be offensive. It just slips out right? Don't fret over it, when you get more experience you'll learn to have greater control.

Some funny shit.

Think Seanc won that round.

aadpepsi, shouldn't you be off with a psych textbook somewhere? "b-b-but he called me babe, gawd men are such pigs."

Fuck outta here.

"To Know Me Is To Love Me"-Jebus Price

Oh my god. I can hardly believe it. Da King is in da house! I've been addressed by HIM. He's so dreamy. Sigh. I shall never forget this day, ever.
I am honored. Truly.
I'm so excited I can pee in my pants. I can't wait to tell all my friends.
They're going to be so jealous.
This is the best thread ever! Sweet.

You girls are funny. Sadly, it's a numbers game. If there were more women in IB, guys would hear more jokes about their shortcomings in every sense. And maybe less jokes about the time of the month, etc... But then again, I wouldn't want to stoop so low. Hmmm...

Um, dude. She's right. My girlfriends and I have this discussion all the time. Most men are so deeply fragile, and if one tiny thing happens to suggest that they aren't The King of the universe, they make life horrible -- everything from outright violence to passive-aggressiveness to backstabbing behavior, just like a passel of twelve-year-old boys. I learned very early on that most men would make me suffer badly unless I toed the line and supported the ego and propagated the mythos (in business and bedroom).

I'm lucky to be marrying a guy that isn't emotionally gendered, but yeah, I'm still pretty damned familiar with the petty little thing that is the standard male ego.

Oh, and a little hint? It's not about sexual dissatisfaction. I know many men hate to hear this, but it's quite possible to have a huge cock as well as satisfy your girl in the sack in every way, while still being completely insufficient to her as a man. Being a man starts outside of bed, outside of the bedroom. It begins with understanding that you do not need to assert ownership or pwnership or superiority over each person you come across. That you're bigger and better than that. That you're man enough to show people the respect they deserve as human beings.

Well said Mis Ind, well said. Only exceptions to the rule would be Clive Owen or Christian Bale or Craig the new hunk of a manager at my health club... he's hot. HOT!!!

They may disrespect me anytime they want. Rrrrr. :-)

Oh, The King... bring it on baby. Show us what you've got. Less talk. More action.

Yeah. Christian Bale. Older rather than younger... I like the slight roughness he's picked up recently in the face. Gives him an edge, a little frisson. Now there's a man I could take to dinner without fear of being bored by. Sexy.

Mis Ind, taking it a little too seriously.

aadpepsi, glad to see you can have some fun.

"To Know Me Is To Love Me"-Jebus Price

Oh yeah... the old "Whatsa matter, can't take a joke?" line. Kiddo, that's just as poor a recovery from childish behavior as it was decades ago. I do adore to have fun... preferably with top-quality Southern strippers and enough Grande Dame to comfortably go round, but barring that, with good conversation over dinner or a postprandial port. Or a couple of deathmatches in any of the select number of video games that don't bore the hell out of me. Being offered a deep dicking when they're a dime a dozen is hardly my idea of fun. In fact, it's more of a total yawn. Any decent-looking girl in the world can get thoroughly well-plowed at the snap of her fingers. And if my intent was to get laid randomly, I'd certainly select a man who was at least flattering and well-mannered about it, one whom I could dress up and take out first without being embarrassed by him. Got anything else to offer?

No no no, not a a "test" of whether we know how to have some fun. Surely, we do :-)

The King... you're averting the issue. We want to know what you have to offer. C'mon, smart guy like you? Bound for HLHZ aero defense group?

Baby boy, we asked you to show us what you got. Mis Indy just asked if you had anything else to offer. Well?!?

Times a wasting. You don't want us to start tapping fingers on our desk, lest we start yawning at our infinite boredom of not getting any ACTION, do you? I mean, we are female bankers after all and you ARE our favorite boy toy. Show us what you got.

Think about it... you have herein in this thread, the opportunity to get with two female ibankers. Isn't that every man's fantasy? Two women? Seriously.

You're simply wasting an opportunity. Getting us all worked up, hot and bothered. Tsk tsk.

What will the gents reading this forum and looking up to TheKing, envying his mojo, think of you if you don't deliver any action?!?

You two dorks try too hard..both of you are such lames, its almost beyond belief..

Look baby, don't be upset. We just aren't that into YOU.

You're right, Im really upset that a couple of broads with coke bottle sized glasses and hairy armpits aren't into me.

What's up with finance women and loving Christian Bale? Is it because of the whole American Psycho thing that endears him to female bankers? Even the blogger EquityPrivate loves CB.

I'm clearly jealous, by the way.

Christian Bale did it for me in Batman.. when he got up out of bed, drops to the floor and starts a set of push ups. HOT!!! Never saw him in American Psycho. Who's this chick EquityPrivate? She better back off.

Alot of men AND women in the world of finance seem to have a strange fascination with CB.

Edit: On a side note, I have the utmost respect for any actor willing to put vanity (and health) aside in the name of their artform (CB going down to less than 120lbs for "The Machinist").

I don't date banker chicks. Though I can be a charitable guy.

LOL @ this thread still going.

And smh @ these simps comin' in here tryin' to emulate my game. Shit is disgusting.

"To Know Me Is To Love Me"-Jebus Price

Ja ja ja

Dude... hello? Who's talking about dating? We just wanted to see some action.

And since when did profession become the criteria by which to discern whether or not to get laid? All of a sudden you're principled?

Yeah, this thread is still going... going to show ya' that your bravado didn't measure up when you got called out by us for some action, ANY action :-)

Well, at least now we're referred to as ladies and not babes. Thank you. I appreciate that :-)

You're swell. You may develop into a gentleman afterall.

What's "smh @ these simps.." code for? Can someone please translate?

Like I said before, cock is a dime a dozen, especially in this town. I did ask what else you had to offer, but you're still just offering the dick? Yawn. No, I'm terribly sorry, but I don't particularly want a deep dicking from you.

You're such a nice guy, though. Perhaps we can just be good friends?

Heh.
