"Guys, What's Your Opinion On Dating Female Bankers?"

Your career path does speak volumes about your mentality and pathology. I mean, I'm a writer and that means I have a good vocabulary, I'm perpetually depressed, and my parents will never be proud of me. A lot of these commenters agree that your career says a lot about you as well, but there are some who take it way too far to the point where it's just outlandish, offensive, and like, I don't think they've ever spoken to a woman before.

"Considering female nature, you better make sure you make more than her...also have a nicer or equal value car."

"Imagine going to dinner with a female banker. You pick a steak house. As you sit down and are given the menu, your date tells you that she's a vegan. Whoops. You know what a female banker is thinking now? 'Wow, this idiot didn't bother asking me before hand if I'm a vegan, didn't bother taking a quick peek at my Facebook to see if I might have dietary restrictions, and didn't bother looking at this steak house's menu beforehand to make sure they have non-meat alternatives just in case I'm a vegan.' This as opposed to a normal female who might laugh it off and ask if you just want to order a bunch of appetizers or go to the noodle place next door."

(Side note: I've gone to dinner with people in finance and vegans plenty of times. This has never happened. Do these people even go out?)

"One may not imply the other (e.g. banker chick = not authentic/caring/loving). BUT, the majority of the time, self selection and the nature of the industry requires that bankers (not just females) are direct, crass, and not the loving wifey type you'd find men wishing for in r/RedPill. Doesn't mean they don't have their strengths, but the reality is that female bankers will never act like stay-at-home moms, like doting girlfriends who spend a week planning for a date, or like a housekeeper who has a hot meal on the stove when you come home (which wouldn't matter anyways, you're coming home at 3am). And that's fine. Just know what you're getting into. Personally, I didn't have time or the patience to date while in banking, so......."
