The Ivy Plus Society: Where Dating Requires A Resumé (POLL)

The New York Times profiled The Ivy Plus Society, a social gathering for singles and networkers of a certain pedigree.

One man who attended a recent New York event came with high standards:

Ben Pike, a 2006 Georgetown graduate, was settled into a copper-colored sofa in the back of Gates lounge. He said he hoped to meet New York women who were more than merely gorgeous. "I've been in the city three years and dated girls who are legitimate models, and that gets old," said Mr. Pike, who works in private equity. "I have high standards. I've met people who are really smart but don't have it together socially, and people who are fun but may not offer more mentally." The total package, he explained, is tough to find.

Our philosophy - if you are going to go out, might as well head somewhere fabulous!
