Apparently its started by two girls whose relationships tanked together with the economy. and in their words, "Not knowing what else to do, we did what frustrated but articulate girls have done since the beginning of time - we started a blog."
This is one of the one liners that caught my sleeve and my heart too.
Next time you are stressing over some finance guy remember that he is just a math club nerd with cash and that there are some things money just can't buy a woman
Haha.. they even have a glossary of sorts to intro u to their DABA language/talk.. I got a few of their gems listed here...
DABA Vocab
Brittany: Named after the hastily dressed pop star- think about it.
DABA: Dating A Banker Anonymous. A safe haven for women who like to date successful men and anonymously dish on it.
DABA Girl: A charming and successful woman (imagine Tina Fey’s wit and Zoe Cruz’s ambition) who’s looking for a man who can keep up.
FBF: Finance guy Boyfriend (the G is silent), a DABA Girl’s significant other. Their work spans the gamut from investment bankers at Goldman Sachs, to private equity analysts at Morgan Stanly, to hedge fund guys any company that sounds like a high school school mascot, to traders on the floor or upstairs, and to commercial real estate men. He is ambitious, well-dressed, over caffeinated, may or may not have a social conscious (but will always show up at charity balls regardless), exudes confidence even when touting a trade he’s only 50% sure of, and had serious throw-down in the bedroom BR.
Not Livin’ the DABA dream: 1) living in the suburbs 2) wearing Ann Taylor 3) eating at non-Zagat reviewed restaurants 4) single at 40 or married to mediocrity 5) having to wear sensible shoes 6) living in a home with wall-to-wall carpeting 7) having to do laundry 8 ) missing out 9) forced to live sans access to Sally Hershberger 10) taking life too seriously.
Lost boys: Unemployed finance guys. For example, “When T. Christopher Pettit resigned the dive bar scene was like a Lost Lehman boys playground”.
Young: In New York, defined as under 40 years of age. Varies in other cities.
