Ladies: Do you know what an investment banker does?

Not all but many. It gets worse...I left a job as a sales trader once and had to sign a document where I promised to never say a negative word about the firm....I was severely sexually harassed during my employment there...also, I never recommend them as boyfriends, they have far too many opportunities to get themselves into trouble. I get the impression this thread has something to do with dating IB's???? So there's my advice OP.

Claiming this thread for your own like a typical man and thus reinforcing centuries of subjugation I could dismiss, but this? Consider yourself unforgiven, you savage.

Not only that, but you're making out like green tea isn't normal. Just because it's herbal doesn't mean it doesn't have feelings. #stopgreenteacyberbullying2k16

I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

I take this as you inviting me take you savagely.

I accept.

I found that it came across really sexist and patronising. That isn't me being "sensitive", it honestly came across that way.

Breaking news OP: some ladies are investment bankers themselves

That is really sad. I get the impression this happens to a lot of women working in the city, I have read quite a few blogs where women speak out about it anonymously. It's sad.

I can honestly say that no amount of money would ever change my opinion on IB and how partner material they are, from what I've read and watched on documentaries (I've obviously never met one...I'm not clumping them all together, then again like it matters how I feel when they are drowning in the ££££) but from what I've seen they seem as "boyfriend material" as a sofa.

Not trying to cause any offence, but you seem to be unaware of the fact that most women that are hired into Sales (in an IB) are hired because they're a pretty face.

Not saying it's right for you to be harrassed, but I suspect most of your male colleagues probably just see you as a pretty face.

is it weird i got slightly, just SLIGHTLY turned on by this?

You have a way with words

What canna say, my vocabulary just oozes sex appeal.

I'd be careful, though - I wouldn't want you to be just another letter in my vocabulary's alphabet. You deserve better than that.

lol you feminists....you never pass up an opportunity to get mad over nothing.

If you bothered to read the OP, it's aimed at women because the reason I am asking has to do with dating, and given I am a heterosexual male, I date women.

The "without googling" part is so I can get an answer based on your actual knowledge, rather than you just googling it and regurgitating the info here.

It is you.

Ffs i just make a thread asking women if they know what investment banking is, and suddenly its like Germaine Greer and Emma Watson declaring war on men everywhere

It came across patronising I'm afraid, you could have phrased it better. You do realise not all investment bankers are male though? and their job description knowledge aren't just limited to males?

I can understand the curiosity behind your question because a friend told me a story about a guy who was working for Goldman Sachs at the time when he met a girl at a bar, when she asked what he did, he told her and she thought he was working for an insurance company, so he kindly excused himself apparently. (I think that is how the story went anyway...)

So I understand if you read about a similar occurrence and was curious. But don't you think its silly to address the question to women assuming they all don't know? (which is how it came across in your OP, even if that wasn't your intention.)

You are clearly incredibly arrogant to assume that how you interpret things is how everyone else does.

Good day.
