From Time–The Creepy Dudes of Wall Street: Are Finance Guys Losing Their Mojo On The Dating Scene, Too?

DatingDating? While this is not something I would normally post, this was just too outrageous to pass up. Please gentlemen, don’t do this. The future of the species is at stake.

From Amy Tennery in Time:

It’s tough to tell when an internet phenomenon reaches actual meme status. But, in the case of the “creepy finance guy,” I think we can finally call it.

This week saw yet another jaw-dropping tale of Wall Street prattishness, this time in the form of a post-date survey. Yep, a finance dude went on a date with a lady. And then he asked her for constructive feedback.

The culprit in this tale is a 24-year-old “finance guy” in Philadelphia named Mike, according to Deadspin, which doesn’t outline his career much beyond Does Things With Money. (This is the case with a lot of these confessional, finance-date posts.) After going on a handful of dates, the tipster (a woman) says the pair parted ways — at which point she received a “Date Response Form.” It was a post-mortem review sheet, courtesy of Mike.
