180 NY Times article re: I-Bankers, models, bottles, etc.
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 28th, 2009 10:56 AM Author: kink-friendly purple dingle berry The economic crisis came home to 27-year-old Megan Petrus early last year when her boyfriend of eight months, a derivatives trader for a major bank, proved to be more concerned about helping a laid-off colleague than comforting Ms. Petrus after her father had a heart attack.
For Christine Cameron, the recession became real when the financial analyst she had been dating for about a year would get drunk and disappear while they were out together, then accuse her the next day of being the one who had absconded.
Dawn Spinner Davis, 26, a beauty writer, said the downward-trending graphs began to make sense when the man she married on Nov. 1, a 28-year-old private wealth manager, stopped playing golf, once his passion. “One of his best friends told me that my job is now to keep him calm and keep him from dying at the age of 35,” Ms. Davis said. “It’s not what I signed up for.”
They shared their sad stories the other night at an informal gathering of Dating a Banker Anonymous, a support group founded in November to help women cope with the inevitable relationship fallout from, say, the collapse of Lehman Brothers or the Dow’s shedding 777 points in a single day, as it did on Sept. 29.
In addition to meeting once or twice weekly for brunch or drinks at a bar or restaurant, the group has a blog, billed as “free from the scrutiny of feminists,” that invites women to join “if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life.”
Theirs is not the typical 12-step program.
Step 1: Slip into a dress and heels. Step 2: Sip a cocktail and wait your turn to talk. Step 3: Pour your heart out. Repeat as needed.
About 30 women, generally in their mid- to late-20s, regularly post to the Web site or attend meetings.
“We do make light of everything on the blog and it’s very tongue in cheek,” said Laney Crowell, 27, who parted ways with a corporate real estate investor last month after a tumultuous relationship. “But it all stems out of really serious and heartfelt situations.”
When she introduces other Wall Street widows to the group, Ms. Crowell added, “They call their friends and say, ‘You’re not going to believe what I just read. It’s going to make you feel so much better.’ ”
Once it was seen as a blessing in certain circles to have a wealthy, powerful partner who would leave you alone with the credit card while he was busy brokering deals. Now, many Wall Street wives, girlfriends and, increasingly, exes, are living the curse of cutbacks in nanny hours and reservations at Masa or Megu. And that credit card? Canceled.
Raoul Felder, the Manhattan divorce lawyer, said that cases involving financiers always stack up as the economy starts to slip, because layoffs and shrinking bonuses place stress on relationships — and, he said, because “there aren’t funds or time for mistresses any more.”
(One such mistress wrote on the blog that when she pouted about not having been taken on a trip lately, her married man explained that with money so tight, his wife had taken to checking up on his accounts.)
Harriet Pappenheim, a psychotherapist at Park Avenue Relationship Consultants who wrote “For Richer or Poorer,” a 2006 book on money in marriage, said that the repercussions could be acute for Wall Street wunderkinds who define their identities through their job titles and the size of their bonuses.
“It’s a big blow to their egos and to their self-esteem,” she said of the endless stream of economic bad news, “and they may take it out on their partners and children.”
Ms. Petrus, a lawyer, and Ms. Crowell, who works for a fashion Web site, started the support group when they realized that they were facing similar problems in their relationships with bankers last fall.
“We put two and two together and figured out that it was the economy, not us,” Ms. Petrus recalled at a recent meeting in the lobby bar of the Bowery Hotel. “When guys in banking are going through this, they can’t handle a relationship.”(She and her boyfriend split up last year; he declined to discuss it.)
Many of the women said that as the economic crisis struck last fall, they began tracking the markets during the day to predict the moods that the men they loved might be in later. On big news days, like when the first proposed government bailout failed in Congress, or when Lehman went belly-up, they knew that plans to see their partners would be put off.

I disagree. I hold them to the same high standards that any normal, moral person should uphold. I guarantee that their marriage vows didn't say "for better or for worse, unless the money runs out." If you make a promise you have to stick to it. You can't do whatever you want, then excuse it by saying you just have an inherently defective personality. |

This is also why we subjectivize the "average reasonable person" legal standard to take into account things like being greedier and less intelligent than normal, having a fucked up childhood, being more prone to rage fits, suffering from a mental illness, etc.

Ain’t Messin’ With No Broke Banker
January 27, 2009 in Uncategorized
This whole messy ordeal has advanced my Botox start date by at least two years. Like every other DABA girl, the economy was wreaking havoc on my relationship and youthful good looks. Phone calls went unanswered, Hamptons invitations un-extended, plans canceled (including, but not limited to, expensive opening night tickets to the ballet, which were scalped instead of being graciously offered to me and a galpal), and so forth and so on. Until – the horror of all horrors – my FBF lost his job, which I guess technically downgrades him to just my BF.
Overnight, he went from unavailable to downright clingy. He wants to have dinner every night. By dinner I mean staying in and cooking as Megu is no longer in the budget. AND, FYI DABA girls – chopping vegetables along side your man in a hot New York sized kitchen is NOTHING like the sexy kitchen scene between Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in Nine and a Half Weeks. Seriously. It sucks. Anyhow, he suggested I meet his parents over the holidays and he keeps commenting that half Asian babies are by far the cutest. My take on his 180: having no steady source of income for the foreseeable future, he realized that his chances of securing another fashion industry type girl are pretty much zilch and so he is cleaving to me as the last vestige of his former high rolling lifestyle.
Thanks to the recession, I now have a completely devoted BF, which is exactly what I wanted. So I should be happy, right? Wrong. I’m bored and can’t stop thinking about my perpetually unattainable Euro ex-boyfriend who is recession proof courtesy of an offshore trust account. To be honest, I’m only with my BF because I just don’t have the heart to change my facebook status from “in a relationship” to “I ain’t saying I’m a gold digger, but I ain’t messin’ with no broke banker.” |

Despite the seemingly endless stream of disparaging remarks and shaking heads, some of the appeal of dating a banker remains.
“It’s not even about a $200 dinner,” Ms. Petrus said. “It’s that he’s an alpha male, he’s aggressive, he’s a go-getter, he doesn’t take no for an answer, he’s confident, people respect him and that creates the whole mystique of who he is.”

Date: January 28th, 2009 11:15 AM Author: marvelous public bath giraffe Overnight, he went from unavailable to downright clingy. He wants to have dinner every night. By dinner I mean staying in and cooking as Megu is no longer in the budget. . . . Anyhow, he suggested I meet his parents over the holidays and he keeps commenting that half Asian babies are by far the cutest. My take on his 180: having no steady source of income for the foreseeable future, he realized that his chances of securing another fashion industry type girl are pretty much zilch and so he is cleaving to me as the last vestige of his former high rolling lifestyle.
Thanks to the recession, I now have a completely devoted BF, which is exactly what I wanted. So I should be happy, right? Wrong. I’m bored and can’t stop thinking about my perpetually unattainable Euro ex-boyfriend who is recession proof courtesy of an offshore trust account. To be honest, I’m only with my BF because I just don’t have the heart to change my facebook status from “in a relationship” to “I ain’t saying I’m a gold digger, but I ain’t messin’ with no broke banker.” |

Me *cute voice*: Wellllllllllllll, what are you going to do to make it up to me?
Charles: Can we talk later sweetheart? I’m really busy right now.
Me: No. Give me an answer NOW. Don’t you realize what you have? I’m way too hot to be treated like this. (Disclaimer: Yes, I come across as bratty here, but it typically works when trying to get something out of him)
Charles *yelling for the first time in our almost two-year relationship*: I’VE GOT TO FIRE TWENTY PEOPLE BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

Me *stunned*: Okie dokie, let’s talk later lover.
He apologized a few hours later. He promised my age was one of the things that endears me to him the most, but that I just don’t understand the tremendous amounts of pressure he is under right now. Fair enough. But damn, it’s tough to date a banker, even for the girl on the side. |

Date: January 28th, 2009 11:23 AM Author: dark marketing idea indian lodge My FBF lost his job, sigh, and has been working steadily at going crazy ever since, but I think he’s finally lost it. I heard through the grapevine (aka Twitter and Facebook) that he had been losing his temper and starting fights. I didn’t experience it myself until New Year’s Eve.
As had seemed to become the norm, he got wasted within the first hour of the evening. Whatevs, it was New Years. Some other party goer accidentally knocked my champagne glass out of my hand. My FBF grabbed him by his shirt collar and demanded that the poor bloke apologize to me. Excessive use of force but tres adorable that he was defending me. A half hour later I had lost track of his whereabouts but quickly located him when another fight broke out. My FBF was then escorted out by security, and, I’m told, on the way out he also unleashed his fury on the coat check girl and a lamppost that was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It wasn’t so bad that he got kicked out, these things happen with alpha males. It was that I was left alone, at a party, with his friends, on New Year’s Eve. Assuming he would follow-up with some apology, I texted him the next day and told him that I never wanted to see him again. His text response, “Fine by me.” Well he’s obviously lost it.

Date: January 28th, 2009 5:21 PM Author: Ivory concupiscible den potus I agree 100%. This does not change the fact that enough members of their target group will think these chicks are "objective" 8s and 9s to create the situation necessary to generating the experience I described. These girls don't need YOU to think they're hot. They need beta math nerds to.
Because the true hots are out fucking alphas and getting drunk 5 times a week, these chicks are by default the "cream of the crop" for exactly the same guys that become bankers (or at least the bankers in this story). Thus, the true hots don't develop the skills to gold dig to this extent while the DABA girls do. And because they, unlike the real 7-9s, have spent a lifetime around betas they think they're too good for they begin to overvalue money as a lifegoal. Bam. |

They had sacrificed their Friday nights in high school to take SAT practice tests so they could get into Ivy league schools. They passed on keg parties in college to get positions as analysts at the most prestigious investment banks in the world. They sacrificed their early twenties to getting promoted. Now, just when they were finally poised to reap the benefit of all their hard labor, the recession reared its ugly head. Their entire careers, livelihoods, and income were disappearing, and their self-image as successful Wall Street men was under siege. Given all that, can I really blame Ken for leaving snotty-nosed-me to go watch Blake Lively tousle her I-just-had-sex hair?
Although we empathized with what they were going through, it didn’t take the sting out of their actions. We felt our relationships were being victimized by the economy and there was nothing we could do to stop it. |

My view on women isn't some bright line, I can still spot a self-interested cunt money whore even if she has an advanced degree. But 99% of the time women that don't fit into my categories are money hungry whores. After all, we're talking about good looking women, and those that decided to do nothing with their lives but wait for Mr. Right are almost always looking for an ea$y life.
And will you shut the fuck about 'alpha' males, if you even use that term in your own sentence you're obviously not one. Like the money cunts you desire said, your type is basically an overpaid math geek. The behavior they, and probably you, attribute as 'alpha' is really just a napoleon complex. |

Date: January 28th, 2009 1:13 PM Author: razzle love of her life philosopher-king No, picking up women w/out money means just that. When we were poor UGs, or high school students, we had soo many opportunities to pick up on loads of available good looking girls. Many failed, and will continue to fail simply because women aren't into them. The only way they can hope to get good looking girls is to practically buy them. This article shows the bargain they're really getting.
Sure now that we're in our late 20s you need a job, an apt, and a car to be taken seriously by quality girls, but that's just basic necessities for an adult. Big difference b/w being a self-sufficient adult and a guy that thinks his biglaw salary will land him girls.
Also, I don't give a fuck how much that costs in your shit-city, but I'm willing to bet you can have all of the above with just 50K/yr. Even if you have to get a roomate. Maybe I'm wrong, is the median salary in NYC 110K? |

If there is any surprise, it is at the extent. Also, it's not like they are all wearing "I am a gold digging bitch" t-shirts in the article or anything. The conversation is pointing out the egregious statements that lead people to conclude that they are, in fact, gold digging bitches. |

Buy American November 14, 2008 in Uncategorized | 1 comment I couldn’t comprehend why people were so insistent that America’s automobile industry had to be saved. We import safer more fuel efficient cars from Asia. No big deal. Survival of the fittest, that’s my motto, or was, until my FBF broke up with me. He explained my termination as follows:
“Princess, we need to talk. How do I explain this? You are a costly investment. During better economic times, I was happy to spend a little extra to buy American, but now we are all being forced to make tough decisions and, well, bottom line: I can quite literally get more bang for my buck if I invest with a foreign model instead. Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you?”
And that my fellow DABA girls is more or less how my girlfriend services were outsourced to an underage Russian model who was willing to provide services substantially equivalent to my own but at well-below market value and without the regulatory hassle. F*cking mercenary.
I hope the government earmarked some bailout money for ex-DABA girls. Without my FBF subsidizing my lifestyle, I am seriously over leveraged with Saks and I’m not talking about Goldman.

I'd bet that it's based off of real life experiences that the affected girls make light of in order to cope with them better. Bloggers being bloggers, I wouldn't be surprised if they took considerable liberties with the truth to make the stories more "OMG what a money-grubbing whore" in order to gain readership. It obviously worked with you all.
Women like this are pretty horrible, but what kind of man dates these girls? I'm sure there are plenty of decent looking women in NYC (and other places) who DON'T think like this and actually know the meaning of "for better or for worse", don't even think of asking for shopping allowances and would enjoy seeing their boyfriend more during a recession. Makes me think that these finance guys aren't really looking for love, so they're just as equally to blame. |

AR: After the recession. From the moment the market started spiraling down to present time. DABA scholars estimate that this transition started as early as December 2007 to as late as August 2008.
BR: Before the recession. When the champagne flowed and being independently wealthy by age 30 was a realistic goal.
Brittany: Named after the hastily dressed pop star- think about it.
Cokette: Aka Bottle Poppin’ Girl, adept at dancing on tables and useful for entertaining, but fundamentally un-datable by any respectable finance guy.
DABA: Dating A Banker Anonymous. A safe haven for women who like to date successful men and anonymously dish on it.
DABA Girl: A charming and successful woman (imagine Tina Fey’s wit and Zoe Cruz’s ambition) who’s looking for a man who can keep up.
FBF: Finance guy Boyfriend (the G is silent), a DABA Girl’s significant other. Their work spans the gamut from investment bankers at Goldman Sachs, to private equity analysts at Morgan Stanly, to hedge fund guys any company that sounds like a high school school mascot, to traders on the floor or upstairs, and to commercial real estate men. He is ambitious, well-dressed, over caffeinated, may or may not have a social conscious (but will always show up at charity balls regardless), exudes confidence even when touting a trade he’s only 50% sure of, and had serious throw-down in the bedroom BR.
Je Ne Sais Finance: Those magic qualities that attract DABA Girls to their alpha male counterparts.
Livin’ the dream (for finance guys): Think Mickey Rourke in 9 ½ weeks.
Livin’ the DABA dream: Having a successful career and successful relationship. Yep, seriously, that’s all we want.
Not Livin’ the DABA dream: 1) living in the suburbs 2) wearing Ann Taylor 3) eating at non-Zagat reviewed restaurants 4) single at 40 or married to mediocrity 5) having to wear sensible shoes 6) living in a home with wall-to-wall carpeting 7) having to do laundry 8 ) missing out 9) forced to live sans access to Sally Hershberger 10) taking life too seriously.
Lost boys: Unemployed finance guys. For example, “When T. Christopher Pettit resigned the dive bar scene was like a Lost Lehman boys playground”.
Young: In New York, defined as under 40 years of age. Varies in other cities. |

Date: January 29th, 2009 4:59 PM Author: Galvanic international law enforcement agency digit ratio [a friend of mind in an email reply to this article]
Thanks for the article, an insightful read for several reasons. First, it confirms much of what I know about attraction, women, and relationships (more on that below). Second, it actually suggests the extreme volatility of the "models and bottles" equation. While in the short term, a man receives what he wants (sex by way of a commodity exchange), in the long term, he's only an empty shell of himself. Below you'll find my explanation for the short term success of "models and bottles," and an elaboration of what I'm talking about.
There's one significant flaw in the "models and bottles" philosophy. This has to do with its conception of what it is that attracts the woman to the man in question. Is it his money? The equation provides a resounding "yes" (at least insofar as I understand it). However, this is wrong. Money, by itself, never creates attraction. Attraction is, as David DeAngelo has wisely noted, not a choice. A woman does not choose to be attracted to a man, as in: "He has bought me so many things - now I want to sleep with him because he just looks insanely hot to my eyes." No. So what is it about "models and bottles" that leads to success for the man? In a word, confidence. Men of this mindset believe that they are entitled to the hottest women. While this often results in arrogant behavior lacking any significant charm, women fall for it (as they often do) because it creates emotion, and thus, it sparks attraction.
I don't think I need to speak at much length about the volatility of such a relationship. This is, of course, where money comes in. Because some of these men are hardly charming or funny (the men profiled in this NYTimes article), the only way they can keep these women around is essentially by paying them off. This is significant. The man's two weapons, arrogance and money, work in tandem together here. The arrogance keeps a woman's emotions on edge (contrast this with the "nice guy" - someone who doesn't create a single emotion in a woman save pity or perhaps revulsion), while the money keeps her hanging around (it's the carrot on the end of the stick as it were). But when one, or more dramatically in the case of these bankers both, of these things disappear, so too does the woman.
Is there a secret formula to getting women? No, not really. In the last month I've become extremely comfortable approaching women of all types, just about anywhere. How did this happen? Well, a few things contributed. First, I started studying this stuff pretty regularly. A good friend of mine, B., is an absolute killer with women. Yes, he's tall and pretty handsome, but I know other attractive guys who just flail around with women. So what's his secret? Well, I started studying his body language and that was where I found my answer. It didn't matter what he was talking to a woman about, because he'd already communicated to them that he was a sexual threat (this, by the way, is a good thing). So I took some things from him such as a scanning swagger (I'd have to demonstrate), never breaking eye contact first, and basically being indifferent to what women think.
But this isn't enough, of course. Something was missing. That "something" was serious confidence. But one day, I started thinking about why I'd had several female friends (and coworkers) almost unwittingly fall for me. It happened at UG, it's happening with a friend and another coworker right now. So what the hell? Now, I'm not sure how much you read up on picking up women, but one of the main guys in that circle is David DeAngelo. He stresses this thing he calls "cocky-funny," that is, a little bit of confident arrogance (ball busting, etc.) combined with a potent mix of humor. What I realized in that moment was that this is what I already do, just with women who I know and am comfortable with. So I got to thinking: "Why can't I do this with women I don't know?" The answer was simple fear. When I realized that, I realized that success was within my grasp. I then made a point of going out of my way to talk to almost everyone I see (man or woman) to get over the fear of approaching people. Believe me friend, this stuff is potent and soooo much fun.
I've overstayed my welcome in this e-mail already. I welcome your thoughts. Agree/disagree with my take on "models and bottles"? Many thanks for the enlightening Times article. |

Date: January 29th, 2009 5:14 PM Author: Bonkers Excitant Indirect Expression “OK I’m not in my 30’s I’m in my 40’s, so me and my banker have a lot to lose - the apartment with private roof deck, 2 kids, opera tickets, the wine club. We agreed to pretend nothing would change (though we wouldn’t do anything lavish - we stayed in Manhattan for Christmas and finally saw the Nutcracker, for example) until he got his number in January, and then we’d adjust, whatever.
Number is in and it’s a 75% cut, ladies. We’re looking at just enough money to make our mortgage payments, paying none of the principle down. So we aren’t going to lose the house yet, but we aren’t going to think about THAT until NEXT January. Meanwhile: My own dinky-by comparison salary, which had been my own since I went back to work so I could have the company of grownups, is no longer my own. It all will be spent on family expenses. The sitter’s hours are cut, both the family and my private credit card are cut in half, and I’m switching from having my facials and massages in my earthy, yoga-and-wine serving downtown spa to a midtown been-in-business-forever place with ladies in cubbies wearing pink jackets and lots of make-up giving facials only. I know, I know, only old people and gay men go there these days, but congested skin isn’t an alternative for me, so I have to go someplace. I’ll do it once every 6 weeks instead of monthly, and it is 1/3 the price of the facials at the spa. And I remember from the 80’s that they do a good job.
It gets worse. I’ll now be doing my pilates with others, in class, on the mat instead of on the machines with my private instructor. This truly frightens me. I could hurt myself competing with you 20-30 yr-olds. Private was so much less humiliating.
And yes, cooking at home. We had been enjoying the new Whole Foods to-go foods section so very much. Oh well - hello Associated Market. Did you know you can sauté’ an entire bag of frozen spinach in a large frying pan with a bit of onion and olive oil, chop a bit of domestic feta into and serve it to your whole family with a squeeze of lemon, and it’s a healthy and cheap alternative to pasta as a main dish? It is so good for you and the kids love it. And we’ll need the alternative because there will be a lot of pasta. Cooking pasta sauce on the weekends isn’t my idea of a good time, but that’s what we will be doing because I’m not ready to do something original every day. I have always been a great appreciator of other people’s cooking.
My kids are unspoiled enough to be happy but their over-programmed lives are going to be a lot less programmed. My daughter said, “Yay - can I have more play dates?” They are, however, pissed off about the end of cable TV and Internet access on their cell phones. They have to do something when there is no cartoon network, Nick or Disney Channel. We’re going high-brow; PBS only, and they will keep their piano lessons. They are getting good - we haven’t the heart to cut that off, and someone has to be entertaining around here.
And I’m very lucky - I love this banker, and he gives nearly as good a massage as my spa does. This is the first thing we’re doing this weekend to inaugurate our brave new world - give massages to EACH OTHER with ginger-scented oil. It was a gift with some lotion and soap, which is long gone. It kept well in the drawer, and I think it will last awhile.
I’ve seen some negative responses to your blog and I think they’re all transparent douche-bags. I think you two are great. My banker emailed the NYT article to me 30 minutes ago…Probably because he is now more connected to his blackberry, CNBC, and generally any update he can get his hands on, more than he has ever been before. When I started reading the posts I felt like someone had been hanging out in my brain for awhile. The need for sex, the fighting, the emotional crap, the pathetic new social life….It is all the same over here in my world! Thanks for the laughs and comfort! We’ll all have better days again….maybe we should consider dating artists? Nah!”

They can be counted on to drop all prior engagements at the words “bottle service” and any finance guy worth his weight in gold keeps a few on speed dial. The exemplar Bottle Poppin’ Girl is a D-list model with a day job in the service sector. She has no hopes of independently achieving financial stability and spends her money on highlights instead of La Mer, which is why she is desperately seeking a life sponsor. She goes through life as a blond rather than as God made her, has exactly one designer bag and you can bet its Gucci and covered with those tacky “G”s. A Bottle Poppin’ Girl would commit a felony to date someone with a membership at Soho house and although often in the company of finance guys, finance guys don’t actually date, let alone marry, Bottle Poppin’ Girls (which is tragic because they fall asleep dreaming of Tiffany’s engagement rings and a proposal just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman).
