Machine gun articles: first shot

Okay first: Dating a Banker Anonymous.

These girls are in relationships, but only if healthy, not in sickness.. You know what? Rewrite the whole vow: only in health, for richer or richest.

These alcohol-fueled confessionals from the women of the wealthy may represent the pinnacle of self-absorption, the inabiility to see beyond their reduced credit limits to the wider economic and social ills.

Best quote?
Another, though, seemed chagrined, after her boyfriend told her to “grow up” and stop “complaining about vacations and dinner” since he had to “fire 20 people by the end of the week.”
Yikes. The girls seem mostly concerned, however, with discussing what they did or did not sign up for.

Despite the seemingly endless stream of disparaging remarks and shaking heads, some of the appeal of dating a banker remains.

“It’s not even about a $200 dinner,” Ms. Petrus said. “It’s that he’s an alpha male, he’s aggressive, he’s a go-getter, he doesn’t take no for an answer, he’s confident, people respect him and that creates the whole mystique of who he is.”

And now he's altogether human. I guess some people forget that we all are?
