Are women really ‘looking for a man in finance’? NYC daters say no

Women would rather someone “fun and vibrant and exciting” than a man in finance–but they wouldn’t mind if their date grabbed the bill.

At a late-June happy hour in the shadow of One World Trade Center in New York, a group of single women gathered to toast the end of a multiday heat wave. Margarita-fueled convos began to drift into the lamentable state of modern dating — stories about ghosting, being stuck with a bill and the overall bad behavior of men.

Coming from jobs in consulting, biomedicine and education, most agreed they're looking for a relationship — but that what they aren’t looking for is a man in finance.

In fact, Dua Khan, 22, who works in the industry herself, cautioned against dating anyone wearing the telltale vest and khakis.

“They’re workaholics,” she said. “6’5 works and blue eyes work. Trust fund would be great. But not finance.”
