The fella is in our business? Sounds like a square. Is it seanc? hahaha.

I would have moral qualms about driving around in a gas guzzler. Are you in NYC? What a waste of car if he is. This makes me think of that episode of "Newlyweds" where Drew Lachey bought the new H2 one episode. Man, that guy is such a moron. I felt stupid that entire episode.

Yup, the fella is in our business. Not Seanc. LOL!

Not in NYC either. In Los Angeles...

Ok, here's a backdrop. A friend has been wanting to introduce me to a new guy. Completely disappointed from a recent experience, I've been notoriously resisting. His 'stats' are pretty good though - he's a VP, he's older, never married, no kids, originally from Chicago as am I. So I figure why not? Our first date is to go to a soccer game. I thought it was a great idea - I prefer activities vs. than dinner 'cuz it helps take the edge off and I'm always nervous on first dates. He picks me up, which I thought was a nice gesture -- which may sound odd to you people, but it's just that most men nowadays completely lack chivalry and always say "meet me there?"

He shows up in a Hummer.

 

I am NOT A SMELLY HIPPIE!!!! It's just such a BIG car! Why do you need so much car? All I ever hear about hummers is that they guzzle gas! Why not get a Jeep? If you need that much space get a pick up truck and paint it some funky colors.

The best car my dad ever got was a 77 mail jeep. Man that car was awesome. Only one seat for the driver, us kids would pile in the back on cushions and hold on tight.

Lol, the date idea sounds good. Was it local? I am so unfamiliar with LA, lol. In ny I walk everywhere. If someone picked me up in their car for a date, I'd be a little hesitant.

But knowing that this IS LA, yeah that sounds like fun for a date. What kind of soccer was it? David Beckham soccer? It sounds like he's using the car to impress you. Or others in general. I know that having a flashy car is common in LA though....so maybe he is just...very....LA?

Atrop, yes the date was local. The man has a sister who is the head of marketing for a huge sports company and apparently always hands him great tickets to all sorts of events.

ToBankOrNotToBank, yes it threw me off to see a grown man driving a Hummer. I agree, must be compensating for something.

Newbie, I'm keeping an open mind. He seemed nice enough. Although not certain there's much of a physical attraction, but sometimes that evolves as you get to know someone.

Keep the comments coming, some of them are funny :-)

BTW, when I asked him why a Hummer - - he said because he has a client who gave him a great discount on a GM car and he picked the damn thing. (I thought it was a lame answer)

Serriously though the car is obnoxious... it doesn't fit into the average parking space, it got banged up just driving into an underground lot. As a woman, it's ridiculous to get in/out of.

Wait wait wait just a min here.....you're not certain if there's much of a physical attraction? Sometimes that evolves? Dude, every guy I know that I have liked I thought within like....say....a day....ok maybe two that he is god's gift to me (yes, me! because most women don't go for the tall, skinny white guys with dark hair look) I don't know, that doesn't sound promising.... :/

they range widely...I think the H3's are cheapest...probably as low as 35k-45k(maybe thats too low? but theyre not that pricy compared to most high end vehicles) and I want to say they top out at a little over 100k? The only ones that get that high are top of the line H1s...doubtful that the average hummer averages over maybe 70 or 80k anyone have any more sound figures? my estimates are based on a year old conversation with a guy i know who bought an H2 (I never liked him much anyway...)

 

Yup, I know. I had this conversation with a friend in the morning. In the past I might have instinctively known if a guy is "god's gift to me". I think my instincts are off. I'm obviously spending time with the wrong candidates 'cuz it's been one disappointment after another and the last one was killer... never saw it coming, felt like I needed a heart transplant :-(

SO... I've decided to open myself up, consider new possibilities and give an otherwise unlikely fella' a shot. Maybe, I hope, I might be pleasantly surprised.

It's a numbers game, right? Gotta leave no stone left unturned, no? One nail drives out the other, so they say

 

Lol, I went through that and signed up for match.com to make myself feel better after some silly man dumped me. I went on a couple of dates and found them increasingly boring. I just kind of gave up after a while. Then like....a few months later I met someone new.

Yup, we've all been through it. Not doing match.com!!! No way, no how. LOL!!

Interesting how many male bankers use it though - - and they'll DENY it!!! One of my colleagues brought his latest match.com "conquest" to a summer soiree we had. Ay vay.

 

Hummer H2 is 60-65k msrp+basic options, Porsche Cayman is around ~65k msrp+basic options, BMW 5-series starts at $45k for the entry 525i, but the midrange 550i is ~60k msrp+basic options.

No new Ferari model costs less than ~$175k for the entry level F430.

 

I'd avoid anybody who drives a hummer. The sole purpose of such a car is to show it off. There are much classier ways to show people that you are financially successful. A hummer is what you buy if you want to ram it in everyone's face.

I'd say that any guy who buys a hummer is likely to be very immature. And odds are, if he can afford one, he probably isn't going to change anytime soon.

Goodluck to you though.

Well, hummer guy and I met for drinks last night. Not much for conversation. Sigh. So far, he's fitting the hummer owner stereotype pretty accurately. Just for shits, I'm giving it one more date, just ooooone more...

I think I've discovered a pond of frogs in LA and I'm the oh so lucky one :-)

 

Just drinks? Second date just drinks? After a sports event? He sounds like he spends more money on his car than you!!!

lololol I'm just giving you a hard time. :)

Anyway, what does this suitor of yours do? I'd try to end it before things get serious, like him snaking his tongue down your throat.

LOL!! It was a Monday night, the man is lucky I was able to get away normally I'm chained to my desk.

Coincidentally - get this, turns out we live in the same building and our offices are 2 blocks from each other. Interesting predicament eh? Until we were introduced, never saw him before. He walked me "home"... thought that was cute :-)

My suitor is a VP Business Development... all I'll say.

He's not the interesting one though... the interesting one is another fella' who seems to have the same itinerary I do. I see HIM all the time. In the morning, at lunch, after work. Don't know his name. Suspect he's an attorney. We just smile. Afterwards, I always fidget "Do I have something on my face?" That one is hot, and he knows he's hot, which makes him hotter... know what I mean? He's dangerous.

 

Ohhh the dangerous one sounds tasty. Go for that one. I read a thing in parade magazine about conversation starters (NOT pick up lines). Such thing as "Have you seen xxx movie?" or "My that looks like a tasty snack cake".

I once saw a cute guy on the train and I wrote him a note saying "Hi! You're cute!". I did this recently. He did not reply. It was awkward for the next hour we were on the train together for.

You should ignore that guy, but be happy. People like happy people. Ignoring them makes them want you more. Somehow this should be tied together. Although most of the time when guys hit on me, I have no fucking clue lol. I'm too focused on work. hahaha. Then I realize.

BTW, where are the other women on this forum? Where's FP175? Where's Mis Ind? We can't be the only two ranting about this stuff. I'm sure these ladies have good material!

Danbush ASK seanc and he will tell you that he saw my dashing photograph. This is quite entertaining.

Let's see, let me think of some bad dates that I've been on. Hm. Wow, there's been a lot. Once I went on this date with a guy and knew it wouldn't work out. So I broke it off (one date!) and a couple of days went on another date. Too bad that when I was waiting for that date, the guy from the first date showed up coincidentally and begged me to come back to him, trying to grab my arm. I moved my arm away and told him "to leave me alone", in the stoniest voice. He went away and I met up with the guy I was supposed to have a date with. We walked around the neighborhood and who do we run into again? That same guy from before, crying on a stoop. I felt terrible.

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********
 

I hope not. That guy crying on a stoop sounds a little disturbed. What was he crying about? It was ONE date!

Atrop, I have a better BAD date story... this one happened in B-school. So a guy in my work group ("Mark") asks me out to dinner. I get dressed up, spritz on the good perfume, he picks me up and we drive out. While we're driving to dinner he says "Oh by the way, Jen is coming." What????!!!??? So the guy turns out to be a pimp and booked me for dinner as well as my classmate Jen?!?

I'm an idiot. I wanna be the good sport. I'm assuming there's a good explanation. After dinner we went for drinks. After drinks we went for more drinks and after those drinks Jen says "Hey I live down the street..." Now I'm the idiot still hanging around. FINALLY, I call bull shit and take a cab home. Buh bye.

A few weeks later Jen invites me to lunch. It's a "ladies lunch with a purpose." She set it up to probe me about Mark, asking me if he's talked about her. I say I know nothing, haven't heard anything. She confesses that they slept together that night but he hasn't called her back since (yeah, 'cuz you're a flussy!). She says she was surprised they hooked up because she thought he liked me, he never stops talking about me and she was convinced we were dating. Sigh.

Coincidentally of all places ran into Mark at a conference in LA a few months ago. Still the same shit of a man!

 

No seanc I did not comfort him. It was extremely awkward. What would I have done?

"Excuse me sir, but I have to comfort this guy whose crying over me because I was honest with him and told him I didn't think it was working out and he happened to see me on another date".

Yeah, I don't think so. The second guy actually panned out as well. Man was he boring. Some MIT guy. Taught me about card counting, but man...what a snooze fest.

Pepsi, dude that is weird. He booked you for a threesome? Wow. That guy has some b*lls!

Jen sure sounds like a floozy, but honestly what was she expecting? Of course the guy won't end up with a woman he slept with on the first date. The chase is over!

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********
 

Yup, I suspect he HOPED for a threesome! Seriously though, I don't think Mark ever figured out that I know about Jen. Here's the cherry on top... Jen says "Yeah, I thought it was in bad taste that he didn't drive you home that night." Whatda???!?

 

Men are so silly sometimes.

Speaking of silly men, I LOVE it when men say dorky cute stuff to me. Especially along the vein of the chewbacca defense. Omg, I can PM you the thing that made me melt.

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********
 

You shouldn't have been so cold towards him in the first place, and if you really felt so terrible you would have made up some excuse and tried to console the poor guy. Regardless, the guy is a p*ssy anyways.

 

There was this southpark episode on it. Basically what wikipedia says is that it is a defense aimed to deliberately confuse the audience. It's made a few appearances out of the south park context, like this one:

"The term has also seen use in political commentary; Ellis Weiner wrote in The Huffington Post that Dinesh D'Souza was using the Chewbacca defense in criticism of new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, defining it as when "someone asserts his claim by saying something so patently nonsensical that the listener's brain shuts down completely."8"

That line I reference re: lunch in the pm was a chewbacca defense.

Seanc- Cold to him when? When he grabbed my arm? When he begged me to take him back? What was I going to do? Lead him on? I had already told him via phone that I didn't think it was going to work out. etc. I was nice. When someone gets stalkerish, I get tough. Plus it was an extremely awkward situation.

Don't worry seanc, if we ever go on a date, I won't be that cold to you.

While highly entertaining, I have to say I already knew not to a) drive a Hummer b) take two girls out on one date (I'm confident but I don't think I could pull that off...) c) grab a girl by the arm while she's on another date, after she broke it off with me, then cry on a random stoop The thing is though I bet those guys view these things very differently. Like the Hummer guy probably thinks women call it off with him because he's too much of a man (evidenced by his insanely large and impractical vehicle). The other guy probably tells his friends he was "this close to a threesome with these two totally hot chicks...but I still boned one of them!" And the last guy is just clearly off-balance and probably sees himself as a romantic hero trying to save his damsel from the story's villain.

However, keep it up and maybe I'll pick up a few pointers after all...if not the thread's still good for some high-quality procrastination fuel. May your luck with men continue to be shitty so we get more stories (well maybe not shitty...but a couple more disasters couldn't hurt right?)

I'm loving this thread for some reason. It has me putting off going to sleep. The thread title itself is classic (I have fraternity brothers who drive hummers, so sad).

Also, although CompBanker's previous comment almost prevented me from asking this, the curiosity is just killing me; therefore, could i get this legendary pick-up line PMd to me? I'm an anti-pickup line guy, therefore I'm amazed that there is supposedly a good one. CompBanker, I totally agree that what you say, isn't nearly as important as how you say it (which isn't nearly as important as your presence). Body-language>delivery>line.

Now, they are drones devoid of self-confidence and social nothings. This, while tragic, is a very favorable turn of events for you.

That's what these men assholes think who WISH they could date an i-banker chick. Everything about that statement was wrong. It should really be written like this:

"Girls in banking are vibrant flowers. They are envied for their intelligence and financial skills. They're smart (smarter than you), direct and fashionable. They have no problem telling you exactly what they think of you. If you are not interesting to them, they consider you a "time-waster" and move onto the next available man. They dominated their peers in school and in the most elite social circles with their cunning MENSA like skills. Other "socialites" are jealous of the fact that they make their own money, rather than being a gold-digger. They have more self-confidence than most men, thus making it hard for them to find a suitable mate. "

etcetera....

********"Babies don't cost money, they MAKE money." - Jerri Blank********

I would just revise that a subtle more to say "They're wickedly smart (smart than you), direct and have an acute sense of fashion. They have no problem telling you exactly what they think. If they do not find you interesting... Other "socialites" and "fashionistas" are insanely jealous of the fact they make their own money..." etc.

Otherwise, all we have to do is post an ad on Craig's List that "Investment Banker Seeks Soulmate" or "Investment Banking Mogul Seeks Executive Assistant" and all the tall, long leg, fake boob, blonde, gold digger women that these guys LOVE will come out in droves.

We just have to sit at our desk and answer the phones... what am I talkinn about, we'll hire swanky brunette receptionists to answer the phone lines while you and I tend to more important business, e.g. lunch at Cipriani.

 

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! LOVE IT! hahahaha I also have some of those social register books at home!!!! They list the young ladies available hahaah.

So you're starting a callgirl service now? what makes you better than newyork.craigslist.org? A lot of hardbodies there that would be happy with 200/hr. At those prices you can have 3 at once.

 

Seanc, ok, you know how to pick up women? Pick me up.

But let's see a picture of the maestro first.

Phew, hot men are dangerous, especially the ones who know that they are hot. I just saw a picture of this guy I worked for a few months ago on facebook and god...GRRR! He is HOT! Except he knows he's HOT! I hate those kinds of guys.

This guy told you he used to play for Man U ??? ROFL !!! He's making a fool out of you, Man U is one of the best soccer clubs in the World, only the best soccer players play there, what the hell would he be doing in NY if he can play soccer at that level ? They earn millions of $ to play at that level, he's playing you lol.

 
atropolation:
Apparently Angelina Jolie told him that he was "sexy" and he laughed.

Modesty in a man is a total turn on. I knew I loved him for a reason. Sigh.

Oh oh... well maybe there's an explanation, e.g. he got injured, quit soccer, moved to NYC and met Atrop.

 

Oh Clive Owen is one of the sexiest men out there. He is married :/. But oh wow is he sexy.

Unfortunately yes. His wife must be very happy. She is very plain looking bu they met in acting school or whatever. He was Romeo and she was Juliet. An ugly Juliet, but I guess that says something about personality.

Apparently Angelina Jolie told him that he was "sexy" and he laughed.

He BROKE his LEG! I forgot to mention. He broke his leg and couldn't play anymore. He was quite depressed about that for a bit.

Actually the sales company that I worked for for two weeks before starting in i-banking (it was such a terrible job) paid him to move to the US and take over HR. God, it was so hard ignoring him and making him feel bad about himself.

I was like "seven of nine" from star trek voyager. I know this makes me a huge dork, but seriously.

PS Pepsi, yes I like humble men as well. When I get home I'll PM you a pic of that man I was telling you about.

Wow, you are so gullible Atrop. He "broke his leg", this isn't Ultimate fighting, it's soccer and this guy broke his leg ?? What a convenient explanation for a lie, those injuries rarely happen in soccer, he's playing you for a fool woman.

 

He broke his leg! He broke his leg! I didn't even know it was for manchester united until I asked him. I am NOT gullible. He's so.....muscular still. He's kind of a dolt. His nose looks broken.
