NYC Dating Shitshow
What is up with girls in this city. I go out for dates, seemingly have good time, they say they had fun afterwards (through text), and during the date. I reach out a week later to set up another date, and it's dead silence. Example: I went out with a girl in consulting twice, had great time both the...
Am I dumb for leaving NYC? / Dating / friends pool
Backround: 27 year old single male living in NYC (been here 3 years). Originally from a tier 3 city in middle America. Do not have an MBA. Currently in a toxic IB role I’ve been wanting to leave. Just landed a killer offer with a growth equity shop in Texas (where I went to college). I'm really...
"We Need a Girlfriend"--Start figuring out how to seal the deal with an engineer
Final week of an engineering-related internship and I wanted to either get a woman's # or repair enough of a working friendship where I could potentially work for her inevitable startup. The problem is she can tell I have the fever for her autistic schizophrenic arse and she's pretty cold with...
Anyone else feeling the pressure to settle relationship-wise?
Thanks for everyone's feedback, got a lot of useful input and advice. Deleting because I feel I said too much and don't want to compromise my identity. I was only expecting a small handful of people to respond and didn't realize this would get as big as it did. Update: Connected with a couple really...
What is a healthy, loving, lasting relationship like?
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...

Threesomes are a real thing?
Sorry, I don't want to seem totally naïve, but are threesomes really a common thing? Thought that was only in porn, or at least not something you'd run into on a regular night out. I was out with friends at a club and this pretty attractive girl started speaking with me. Probably spoke for 20...
Which bars to go to pick-up chicks in NYC?
Which bar/club do bankers generally go to if you want to pick-up a chick or are looking for a quick hook-up? Not from NYC so want to know what the best ones are.
Ideal girl: alpha or not? What do you look for in a girl

Basically, I am have been going out with this girl who is very cute and I get along with very well, like I can talk with her for hours, we have fun,...
Are IBD and S&T lifestyles compatible??
Girlfriend and I are first-year analysts in IBD and S&T at different banks. Are the lifestyles compatible?? For one, hours are basically inverse- one of us is asleep every time the other one gets home or leaves in the morning.
Dating/Relationship Advice/Stories/Lessons Learned
Hey guys since WSO has a bunch of intelligent degenerates who also love to shit post, obsess over Wall Street movies, and argue and bicker yet are good people and offer good advice most of the time I wanted to start a thread to get your stories of gfs/wives/exs. Any tips or advice or stories. Just...
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...
Betches Love This: Investment Bankers
PR girls majored in him. He’s dead to at least a few people. You don’t need a JP Morgan access pass to find him, but you will need to prepare for a sense of entitlement that makes him the closest thing to husband material since Scott Disick came out as straight. Though we’ve already...
My Dating Philosophy
Mod Note (Andy) - as the year comes to an end we're reposting the top discussions from 2015, this one ranks #24 and was originally posted 3/21/2015. I figured I'd make this post mostly because it's a topic I enjoy water cooler or barroom talk about, and since people have some strong opinions about...
Dating Ugly Girls
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,...

Good school, good job, good money, still single?
It’s because most guys limit themselves in a really dumb way. Don’t be one of those guys Note: This post is for single men interested in meeting women. If you are not a single man who is interested in meeting more women, then I’d skip this one if I were you. “You can’t meet a good girl out...
An Old Monkey's Follow Up - Good School, Good Job, Good Money, Still Single?
Many of you read Ben's post about talking to women in public and there was a rather diverse reaction to it all. Many had concerns about coming off as creepy or making a poor first impression while others had their own methods they found to be superior to what was suggested. Me, I'm likely a bit...
Should i ask this girl out? How?
I am a 25yr old guy and have been 1 month into my role. 3 weeks ago, i saw a new female colleague which i was attracted to. From the very first day, i noticed that as i walked pass her desk, she would make deliberate eye contact with me. Since then, i'd say 7 times out of 10 when i walk pass, we...
Let's Rank FEMALE Bankers as DATES
So last month member Bankerella caused a lot of commotion with dating advice and actual rankings for MALE bankers. Her conclusions were (and we may or may not agree with it) that male TRADERS were the best out of the crowd/asset classes, as being the most self assertive and I guess empowered guys...
Can you spot a Gold Digging Girl?
When it comes to women, unfortunately, men are dumber than s***. Fortunately, when it comes to dating tips, advice can be easily sourced. First, remember your mom's and dad's words (it's safe to assume they're the only ones wishing you well unconditionally) and try not to get burned by chicks (like...
Scoring a Successful Valentines Day
Chocolates, greeting cards, flowers, and dinner dates. Today is one of great American commercial holidays that celebrate the beauty, or love, for capitalism. I will admit that I do buy into Valentines Day to a large extent. Like most men, just the thought of my girlfriend withholding anything from...
Yet Another Lovelorn Banker
Remember the story of the married banker who fell so hard for his analyst that he creeped her all the way to London and sent her enough texts to fill up War and Peace? Well, you should, cause it was yesterday. But if you missed it, fear not. There is always another too-desperate-by-half banker right...
Honest Questions to Those in Banking, Finance, Etc.
I am not sure if this is the right place for this topic but here it goes. Please forgive me if this isn't the right place to post. I am not involved in a Wall Street related career (I am currently in the medical field) and I would like to know if investment bankers, financial analysts, etc would...
Getting back in the Game
I've been following WSO for a while but this is my first post. 2 months ago I split with my girlfriend of 3 years. we lived together for a year and a half. long story short she wanted a "real" commitment and I clearly wasn't ready for a number of reasons (thats for another post). Bottom line, I've...
