Samantha Daniels has spent 12 years as a professional matchmaker and works with men in the financial industry in New York City. In her CNBC piece, "How To Date A Wall Street Man," published earlier this week, she informed women hoping to snag these successful men that if they studied their target and adjusted their behavior accordingly, they, too, could land a wealthy banker. Her advice included telling only short stories so he can digest them; be flirty, but not too flirty; and, above all "be confident and avoid being a pushover but, at the same time, you shouldn't be difficult. You need to be accommodating of his schedule and time constraints or he will get frustrated and find another woman."
Jezebel took issue with the unflattering picture Daniels' list painted of both women and men, but it's also just hard to understand why the Wall Street man is the ideal catch -- I mean, haven't they as a group engaged in some seriously suspect behavior over the last few years? Given that women under 30 now out-earn their male peers in some cities, it seems like there's less incentive than ever to land a Wall Street guy. A more useful guide would help the Finance Men catch -- and, if he's lucky, keep -- a smart, interesting, successful woman.

men dig running their mouths online, especially in the women's section of websites, where they aren't wanted. talk about abysmal state of the nation.
And these stories pop up on the main page. I didn't seek out the "women's section" of the site. You sound like a 9 year old boy with a tree house bearing a sign "No girls allowed." Abysmal, yes.
you have no clue what type of money women are making. now back to call of duty!
The difference between dating dating a wall street man and a wall street women is this...Many women seek out successful men for the "material things" they can offer, while most men are quite the opposite. In general men don't care what women have as much as they care about their looks and personality. Just look at all the older, (much older), rich guys dating women that could be their daughters. We can dance around it if we like, but we know it's all about money; what he can provide for her materially.
If someone wrote an article on "How To Date Rich Older Guys", and as a response to it I wrote 'How To Date Rich Older Gals", I would have a difficult time finding research material on the subject matter because I doesn't happen often enough to do a fair comparison.
will a wall street woman like to share spend time with a man, pay him at movie / nice restaurant,
On the other hand, I think the original article was for women, who are unfortunately the majority. These ladies don't have an education, a good job, any skills they can use, or in a culture where they can't move up socially. (Some are just lazy though and get by with their looks...) The only way to not be in poverty or have nice things is to find a rich guy. And lots of men love the pretty, dumb girls.
Too often, grown women place too much emphasis on superficial characteristics of a man, and we wonder why our marriages are down the drain?
women place emphasis on superficial characteristics, and that's why marriages are DOWN THE DRAIN?
as if males don't care about looks. as if males don't cheat. as if males aren't abusing and causing the breakdown of marriages.
oh good lord. the lengths that people will go to blame women for everything, and leave men scot-free. marriage is a failed institution because it isn't necessary anymore. 100 years ago, women had no access to divorce, employment, education, etc. we had to put up with male crap. we don't anymore. that's what's changed, and it's changed for the better.
and the part about the assistant scheduling dates... oh, so true... but it's not personal, she'll schedule the family baptisms also ... she'll also answer emails in "his" name ... might even tell you what a wonderful time "I've had"... my advice, "be good friends with the assistant" ...
so, why would a man want to date a "successful" woman again ??
remember woman is only like to smell a man things and not real LOVE a man,
woman is a fake lover, lift up face, too much thick makeup chair, implant boobies, spending tooo much foolish around at shopping store from a man pocket
tell your engineer daughter she doesn't ever have to get married, she'll be more successful because of it. she's not going to find a "house husband" anytime soon, american males have far too big egos for that. it's just going to hold her back, who knows what she can accomplish if she's allowed to really use her talents instead of wasting time taking care of some unemployed load who plays video games all day?
2. make sure she sees other girls with you
3. treat her poorly
1. i'm sure you don't look like a young brad pitt
2. that's why there aren't any girls around you
3. no woman will stay around you long enough for you to treat them any way at all
2. Don't wallow in that self-pity.
3. Don't broadcast that you wallow in self-pity in a pathetic attempt to get attention and sympathy.
