Dating a Hedge Fund Manager

I have been "seriously" dating a HF manager (in his early 40's, never married, withdrawn). Think Christian Bale's character in the Big Short. I know these guys work insane hours and look for specific qualities in a woman. I am in my late 20's and with limited dating experience I have to say it's not easy. Wonder if anyone can share some "rules" or advice. Thanks monkeys! :)

Seriously? You have limited dating experience? HF managers date 9s and 10s, they have dating experience.

Follow the shit your fellow monkeys say @shitWSOsays Life is hard, it's even harder when you're stupid - John Wayne
 

You're probably very attractive and he likes you partially, or mostly because you're very attractive. So my advice would be to keep being very attractive and put effort into looking good for him. I would also not expect him to want kids or to ever get married, considering he's probably been inundated with opportunities to have a partner his entire life and he has nothing to show for his intention to change that.

Don't believe him when he tells you you're different, if you have respect for yourself.

This is not a very PC answer but hey.

 

A close friend of his told me that he's been searching a wife for a while, but the process has been painfully awkward for him. He apparently doesn't know how to date women.

Seriously I dated a few finance dudes, and ALL are sexual perverts.... One PE guy has the worst fetish. Do you guys really expect your girlfriend to act like a pro escort or something?
