NYT REPORT: vapid, unlikable women made unhappy by the economy

http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/its-the-economy-girlfriend/?scp=1&sq=girlfriend&st=cse

"Some women in the group said the men in their lives had gone from being aloof and unattainable to unattractively needy and clinging. Others complained of being ignored — one, who called herself A.P., wrote on the blog that three weeks had passed without her boyfriend “asking a single question” about her life. Another wrote, fearfully, that her beau had told her to make a list of their favorite New York restaurants before the bad market forced a move to the Midwest.

“Next time you are stressing over some finance guy, remember that he is just a math-club nerd,” one woman wrote after recounting a breakup. “This recession just bought everyone an extra two years of the single life.”

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.”

aka he's just not that into you cuz of the economy

why do people still read the nyt i'm confused

they also have news sometimes

“One of his best friends told me that my job is now to keep him calm and keep him from dying at the age of 35,” Ms. Davis said. “It’s not what I signed up for.”

Wau, fuck you.

I have a sneaking suspicion some SA goons are going to go after that blog.

why do people still read the nyt i'm confused

Did it go under or something????

Suddenly, I found myself being taken out less and less frequently. A recent argument went along these lines:

Me *pouting*: You haven’t taken me on a trip since we went to Bermuda in September. What’s going on?

Charles: Honey, finances are tight right now so my wife has taken it upon herself to check up on all of our accounts. She will notice any big expenditures.

Me *cute voice*: Wellllllllllllll, what are you going to do to make it up to me?

Charles: Can we talk later sweetheart? I’m really busy right now.

Me: No. Give me an answer NOW. Don’t you realize what you have? I’m way too hot to be treated like this. (Disclaimer: Yes, I come across as bratty here, but it typically works when trying to get something out of him)

Charles *yelling for the first time in our almost two-year relationship*: I’VE GOT TO FIRE TWENTY PEOPLE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. Z has four kids, X just had a baby girl, Y just sent his son to college and I’ve got to get rid of two of those guys… and you’re complaining about vacations and dinner? God, you are so 24! GROW UP!

Me *stunned*: Okie dokie, let’s talk later lover.

He apologized a few hours later. He promised my age was one of the things that endears me to him the most, but that I just don’t understand the tremendous amounts of pressure he is under right now. Fair enough. But damn, it’s tough to date a banker, even for the girl on the side.

when you're old, when you're olllld, nobody will knoooww

Fr srs, this is making me appreciate my wife so much more.

they can't get old fast enough.

"President Obama's hope."

i feel so bad for the plight of these women

^^^^wish this would fit as a screen name

don't these marlboro lights 100s, gold necklace wearing, high-hipped white pants, blowdried bitches understand that they actually need to marry one of these guys in order to live out their dream of growing leathery and brown in a coconut grove townhouse while they mutter obscenities about their exes over marathon manicure sessions with their carbon-copy chums?

Live the dream, Tracer.

But you'd look strange all leathery.

jeez this is terrible :-/

o_O x1m

if only i'd been born on the upper-east side :(

But damn, it’s tough to date a banker, even for the girl on the side.

This entry is a joke, surely.

Like artists in a communist regime, we’ve fallen from grace.

Osip Mandelstam would it were so easy.

:(

Brandon Davis, Ms. Spinner Davis’s husband of almost three months, acknowledged in a recent telephone interview that his new job was “certainly more stressful and there’s certainly more pressure” because of the economy, but disagreed that such stresses had affected his home life. He did not want to talk about golf.

Laurel get out now while your fingernails remain at a normal length!!

these ladies are such easy targets it doesn't even seem worth it to talk shit, tbh

Elmo OTM. Of all the targets to be hating on in the whole economic meltdown, why bother with these leptons?

bcuz they are hot

why bother posting on a thread to complain that theyre not compelling enough to post on a thread abt

meta zing

why bother posting to respond to a posting that they're not compelling enough to post etc etc sideways 8

i think it's because they've obviously gone to university and gotten an education and have enough social wiles to work their way into a certain circle of semi-powerful people - yet still fall short of that crucial threshold that would allow them to realize how unutterably vile this blog makes them look

so glad I'm drunk 24/7

Yah, it's not the existence bit that's bad but the "no shame" public-exhibition stuff.

gah this article makes finance douchebags look almost human

you can also tell they're sorta angling for a book contract, stuffwhitepeoplelike style

pre-cougars

isn't this all satire?

for a bunch of people cynical about everything they read on the internet you're being incredibly credulous

i'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the times might have fact checked this.

probably

gotta go swing it on the flippity flop guys, later

you make one mistake and people never let you forget it.
/blair

lifestyle article fact checkers would be the first victims of NYT budget cuts I'd imagine

never forget

nick sylvester = maker upper

I hope he ends up with one of these mythical she-beasts.

if only i'd been born on the upper-east side :(

Crowell is from SF. Petrus is from Pittsburgh, where she and Pennington went to college. Cameron, I believe, went to Western Washington University, not exactly a popular destination for New Yorkers. Spinner did go to Colby, tho.
