The article was a little amusing and a little trite, but that was only scratching the surface. It linked a much larger blog known as Dabagirls: Dating A Banker Anonymous, which really reveals this world in their own words. Just a few brief examples of excellence:
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.Michael Douglas once said that greed leads to evolution (yeah, that speech) and if all women were like this anonymous DABA, it certainly would!
One of the ugly truths about older successful men in finance is that despite having lavish homes, gorgeous wives, a few adorable kids and multi-million dollar bank accounts, they often yearn for more. “More” may be a distraction as innocuous as golf. It could also be a darker vice—gambling, drugs or prostitutes a la Spitzer. Unfortunately, it is rare man, rich or poor, that can withstand the temptation of forbidden fruit. That’s where I come in. My name is “Courtney” and I’m the other woman.Wow, that's all I can say about that one...
Honestly, I doubt the authenticity or sincerity behind some of these posts (I suspect the first one was a somewhat misguided attempt at humor), but it still makes a really interesting read.
