Whom do female bankers/consultants date?
Given their busy schedules, in your personal experience or experience of friends, who do they usually date and who do they usually end up with? Do they typically go for other bankers/consultants, marketing, sales, artsy types, doctors, lawyers, trades people etc?

- Non-target --> FT Off-Cycle IBD AnalystSo I have been around here for about a year and half now, and have to say thank you to the community. Really learned a lot and got my foot in door based on the advice on these forums. ### The Non-Target School Now for my story, I attended a large (20,000+ students) non-target school. We...
- Is investment banking full of rich kids?It seems that to get into investment banking, you must: - apply early - have been to a target school - in order to get into the target school, excel in high school, have money and you must know which schools are targets for investment banking It seems like that in order to tick off all...
- The Mechanics of a Mispricing There have been a few other related posts that I have commented on recently that touched on mispricings and catalysts. I wanted to take some time and write something up that brings it all together in one post. This is something that took me a while to understand and come around to when I was...
- An Honest reflection from my first Summer Analyst role: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (mainly bad and ugly)I come from a target West Coast school. I say target because being on the West Coast, there are only three name-brand schools you can land a job on at an i-bank on the West Coast. Those name brands from my POV are Stanford, Berkeley, and USC. I go to one of the first two. Hats off to the Moelis...
- Becoming a PrincipalFor many of us who are still younger on this page, it is an intended goal to become a principal. As I think it would be very helpful, for those who are principals (on the younger side): * How did you get to where you are now? * What route did you take career-wise? * What obstacles did...
- Learning Curve as 2nd Year Analyst I am currently working as an investment banking analyst at a BB and 6 months after starting the job, I feel the learning curve flattens very quickly. I don't learn much from making another pitch book and even in the live deal, I feel the work I do isn't particularly exciting. Since...
- AMA: Non-Target -> 3rd Year Analyst MM IBUnfortunately turning comments on a pitch deck today so I have some time in between turns to do an AMA. Thought I'd give back to the community here now that I'm wrapping up my 3rd year at a MM. Definitely wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for WSO. ###Quick background...
- How I messed up my career and then got it back on trackA little mini rant/story about how I messed up my career but have finally (I hope at least) gotten it back on track. I started off on a Big Four graduate scheme. Initially in audit but then moved over to the transactions side. Great learning experience, worked on big clients, but not exactly...
- Nuances of Corporate Finance in each IndustryI want to start a thread talking about the nuances of corporate finance within each industry (Oil & Gas, Healthcare/Pharma, Aerospace & Defense, Manufacturing, Consumer Packaged Goods, etc). The impression I've gotten is that you can bounce around between industries in the first...
- Top Chicago IB Background: Notre Dame sophomore looking into Investment Banking internships/jobs in Chicago. Was wondering if there was a list or if people had suggestions of top IB firms and groups to start networking with.

Look at all these wannabe richies hating on an expensive salad.
Girls do not date down - so either at their level or above socioeconomically
Other comment here is wrong. They like bad boy tradesmen with tattoos. Not you low testosterone weak spectacled feminine banking types.
I've seen career-oriented women date/marry a variety of different types. Some go for consultants/lawyers/doctors/finance guys for sure. I've also seen TV anchor, chef, CEO, entrepreneurs, Can't really say there is any sort of pattern from my experience.
What has this come to? Who gives a fuck, if you actually care this much go ask them. Becuae it is clearly not you.

From my social circles, I'd say they tend to date guys in finance, consulting or law. I don't think they go out of there way to date guys in those fields, but if you work in finance, you're more likely to meet someone in finance (work, most friends may be in finance, similar interests..)
But yeah, I wouldn't think about it, if she likes you, it's unlikely she'll care too much about what you do (unless she's a gold-digger or you actually have a really shit, dead-end job)
I'm not really sure there's a pattern. I've dated business people, consultants, attorneys, etc., however, my female colleagues also have married people in jobs with less earning potential (scuba instructor, local rock band singer, law enforcement). Some choose not to date at all.
I'd imagine it's pretty much the same for men.
Women date up, so think lawyers, Doctors, CEO's, etc
