dating

Hey guys, long-time member and current PE associate. I matched with a girl on Tinder one night and we started messaging. Somehow, the conversation turned into an argument over stupid shit. In my drunkenness and anger, I replied calling her a fat*** and made a joke that she looked like she put on the...

Came across this article today on high maintenance women. I can see the argument of the author that women need to "shrink themselves" so they don't seem high maintenance by people they are trying to attract. I know there have been countless threads on women in finance/alpha women but I don't think I...

Good day my esteemed gentlemen, I am a young fellow from England who has taken a keen interest in the field of banking. I have recently begun my undergraduate degree at a rather prestigious university, and am examining potential careers in this field. I have also identified the former colonies as an...

Completely unrelated to finance, just needed somewhere to get this off my chest. From a very early age - and from the few times I even saw my parents together - I knew that my parents were in a completely loveless marriage. My father had multiple affairs (that I knew about) and was never home. My...

I'm 23. Although I want a great relationship with strong marriage potential, the few experiences I've had have been mutually obsessive, jealous, controlling, possessive, and toxic whirlwind romances that imploded after a few years. I have considered being patient for a bond to materialize with...

Asking here because I'd like to get the perspective of men(I also don't have many male friends) who share a similar professional background to him(which might influence his taste, opinions, etc). I'm in my early twenties, him in his early thirties, we've been together for a year and he's been...

I want no sarcastic answers or rude answers thank you! What do you guys think about dating someone at work? I am a female second year analyst at a MM bank. I work in M&A and the guy I am crushing one is a second year S&T analyst. I am ambitious and care about my work blablabla, but I have a huge...

Hi everyone, I am not in this industry but I have been now dating this guy in NY for a while and I am hoping to get some advice. He is always very busy and says his work is very important and with tons of responsibility. He says he works at Guggenheim in a restructuring division, and I was hoping to...

Alright Monkeys, So I've been a long time user of this site and have wanted to give back for a while - so here goes. Today during my painfully boring Econometrics class I received a call from a BB's HR telling me I had been officially extended an offer as an analyst on my top choice team in NYC....

For all those that are busy and dont have time to go out, where do you meet girls? I hardly ever time to go out and my logistics are also bad for going out so I have been cold approaching girls a lot during the day. I used to think the night club was the only decent place to meet girls but now I...

The days of college over. A college campus in Southern California was the best place to be in August/September. Blonde girls walked around with almost nothing on, with those oversize sunglasses, talking about which sorority they were going to join. Over those four years, I have gone on some dates...

Is there a tinder for Wall Street people/finance types? Because if not, I'm seeing a market opportunity here. I'm envisioning something along the lines of a cross between LinkedIn and Tinder- like, if I'm going to date someone, I would do so solely based off their resume anyway. My issues with...

One of my frat bros who graduated college 2 years ago is married. He married his high school sweetheart last year, at age 23. I went to his wedding, the girl was pretty hot (she was a solid 8), he told me he was the happiest man on the planet at the moment, etc. One year later, he is constantly...

As I seek out more trading opportunities, I also seek out dating someone. But most people I meet with on Tinder, Bumble, and all the others seem to offer lower quality mediocre people. I will be transferring to New York in less than a year and I wonder if it is even worth the time to seek out a...

What are your company's policies on dating co-workers? Does it still happen even if it's against company policy, and is it worth the risk to ask out the cute analyst? Asking for a friend. ![Jim and Pam][Jim and Pam] [Jim and Pam]: https://frostedlightly.files.wordpress.com/2011/0…

WARNING: Somewhat NSFW if monitor easily seen by peers. So there's this bartender chick that I have an in with, long story short it's overtly indicative she want's String's D (actually verified, because we hooked up the first evening we hung out without hardly any badgering from me, which is what I...

i'm bored and high so i thought i'd throw this post up for fun, see disclaimer at the bottom about throwing monkey shit seeing a regular chick can be a great experience, especially if you're into the girl. if 3+ of the below have happened to you then you are what some may refer to as "seeing a...

So I had braces when I was a Freshman in high school until my junior year but I later lost my retainer on a vacation and my teeth have since shifted. I am now, at the ripe age of 25, considering getting them again. I am an otherwise very attractive woman (it's true). I considered Invisalign but...

Hi all - I'm new here. Stumbled upon this site and I'm here for some advice (as a girl...though this might be a bad idea lol) I guess my question is for all those bankers out here, am I supposed to continue making the effort or from your perspective, because of your job, most of you are not...

08 Feb 2018

I don't know if it's me, but it seems like there hasn't been a remotely interesting thread on the consulting forum in a while. It's just people asking us to handicap their chances at random firms, oddly specific questions about pay, and requests for information about second- and third-rate firms. So...

27 Sep 2011

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?

03 Nov 2018

A few nights ago, I stumbled upon a blog where a guy claims that sleeping with ugly girls is a better option than focusing on the hottest ones. The site was http://www.animusempire.com/do-ugly-girls/. I suppose he has some great points. Getting sex from less attractive girls may be less of a hassle,...

I've been dating this sociology major for a while now. Mostly, she's great, but sometimes she says some things that make me suspect she thinks all businessmen are like Tex Richman, the evil oil baron from the Muppet Movie. For my senior project, I'm making a multiple regression model to explain why...

Recently, there were several articles on where people meet their future spouses. There was the controversial op-ed from a Princeton alumna who urged the female undergrads at her alma mater to snag a husband while they're in school because their pool will never be that good again. A recent NY Times...

I worked really hard in college for the last 4 years and will soon start at a great company that is not located in a major city (think of a city like Sacramento but not Sacramento). I have 0 friends in the city I'm moving to and will be working with mostly much more senior guys. I am single and...

Moderator note (Andy): this is an oldie (2/19/08) but always an interesting topic to discuss. I'm a girl and a prospective monkey and was just curious, but what are the chances that you would you ever marry another banker? Also, what's your opinion on female bankers in general? How are they...

WANTED, a dating app for high-quality people, it's a balance between looks, money and taste. Lets start with this. 9 out of 10 people you see and meet are unsleepable. No matter how hard you try, you wouldn't be able to do it. I beg women not to sell yourself short. Just plainly tell people what you...

08 Sep 2015

We always hear about these Wall Street dating horror stories. There's the rude email cover letter from an investment manager begging for a second date, the alleged stalking bank analyst and the finance guy's spreadsheet comparing his online dating prospects, just to name a few of the more recent...

22 Oct 2012

How can I talk sense into this guy? We're in the same class, and recently he met a married woman who is a first-year. She has only been out of college for a few years and got married last summer. He met her through a student club and has managed to spend time with her as a result. My friend is...

17 Feb 2015

Hey Monkeys, I was hoping someone could send me a template they use to keep track of the models they've been taking out on dates? I know people sometimes post DCF and lbo models, so I figured this would be a good place to ask. I stumbled across a copy of David Merkur's spreadsheet, but I found the...

18 Apr 2013

Yes, I know that b-schools in general are not great for guys due to the gender ratio and the fact that a lot of women come in already committed to serious relationships. However, from my own personal experience and talking to numerous buddies at the top programs, I think some schools are just a lot...

How important is it to you monkeys if your wife/gf/whatever is a good cook? I'm dating this new girl and she is unbelievable, everything she whips up is good, she LOVES to do it, and when possible I can get her to cook in her bra/thong. It's been lunch / dinner / whatever (especially breakfast in...

Hi guys, long time poster here, and even longer time lurker (was gone for a bit of hiatus). For the record, this is NOT a troll post. If you think it is, please refrain from replying because I need a genuine opinion here. (Thanks). I'm posting under anonymity for obvious reasons as...

16 Jan 2014

I'm being serious in this post so please no BS or jokes. I see a beautiful girl at my office walking around all the time. Pretty confident that she's not on my floor because I always see her around lunch time only. Never spoken to her before, but we have made occasional eye contact. What would be...

28 Apr 2014

My friends from (top) engineering undergrad/graduate school who are either in banking(quant research mostly) or engineering(facebook/google programmers) are extremely smart. All nice/kind girls, but they are not hot. Dress okay-ish, and never too hip. They do go out and drink but very average.

30 Mar 2014

https://youtu.be/8j3wdkjEjd4 All right, I don't think there are many redpilled gents out here, but it doesn't hurt to try.

25 Apr 2018

First, wallstreetoasis has been my all time favorite for quite a while, I especially enjoy reading the thoughtful dating tips you guys offered to your fellow frustrated male moneys. I rarely saw ladies seeking such advice here, but I don't mind to be the outlier. (a typical me) The reason why I seek...

18 Jul 2012

Those of you who follow our friends over at Wall Street Oasis may have recently seen a post by a 'female banker', who goes by Bankerella. She recently posted a blog about dating different finance guys, which has garnered some attention lately for 'the Wall Street women'. The verdict from our...

G-d damn I miss the dating scene in NYC. So many people . .. such an open culture. I currently work in Switzerland (doing commodities). Anyhow . . . a few questions primarily for the single ones out there: 1) How would you break out the way you meet women? (i.e. split amongst online, setups by...

19 Aug 2012

So I met this Turkish girl who is super hot and super rich (pretty rich--family is probably worth $~25 MM) and really well educated (she's a secular, non-practicing Muslim). We're sort of dating now, but she's moving back to Istanbul at the end of this year. Does anyone have any insights into dating...

10 Dec 2015

Are they really at the bottom of the dating ladder, being seen as undateable? If so, why? Are they better off moving out of the country for relationship prospects?

06 Aug 2014

If you had an informational chat with a banker who was ridiculously gorgeous , would you test the waters and invite her for a drink or something? What could the potential pitfulls be?

16 Jul 2014

WSO, Most of us work hard and play hard. But dating takes a toll, as every ones knows, you gotta do the whole mating dance; the mind games, teasing, etc.. before you can close the deal. They say don't "shit where you eat" or "dip your pen in the company ink" or whatever the fucking idioms are. But I...

18 Mar 2012

So I haven't gone out much since coming to New York. The guys in my analyst class seem pretty serious about banking (most of them are practicing their Excel shortcuts or something), so I haven't really been able to get them to go out. Went out with my sublet roommate and made out with this chick on...

11 Jul 2011

One of the major disadvantages of Chicago as opposed to NYC is that virtually all quality women who are 25+ are married, engaged, or in long-term relationships. Given that I'm 30 years old and would like to meet someone it's been quite frustrating. I have gone to young professionals events, tried...

05 Oct 2011

I am sure that there are tons of ladies out there that want to date a person working in Wall Street. Most likely, the superstar bankers who are making the big bucks. Well in order to do that as Bess Levine writes you need to be from an industry besides Wall Street, understand 10-k, and read markets....
