Wall Street Girlfriends Getting Jealous of Screwed Economy

120108crash.jpgIt seems that many men who lost their shirts in the Wall Street tailspin have also lost their ability to satisfy women. According to the Post, sales of vibrators have surged, and more ladies are bemoaning their lovers' lack of lust. A Brooklyn lawyer whose boyfriend lost his $100,000-a-year Lehman Brothers job tells the tabloid, "He's just not in the mood. He's really depressed. He really loved his job, and now it's gone." Another girlfriend of a "hedge fund honcho" says she's only had sex once "since the economy went soft," tee hee. Dr. Ruth Westheimer chimes in too, noting that "a man's sexual apparatus is very delicate. If something is wrong, it is very difficult for men to get or maintain an erection." These frustrated ladies obviously need to seek satisfaction beyond the financial industry: online media, for instance, is still rock solid!

    I cut my high-maintanence slut loose. Not because I lost my six-figure job but because she's russian and ever since they invaded Georgia, all she does is tongue my head and tickle my balls. And I realized I could get that for half the money from the neighbor's nanny downstairs who's from Iceland and has only one more week on her visa. If I get my annual bonus, I might even tell her my real name.

    Those '100k jobs' came with 600k+ bonuses. Or, Boni, if you will. Or, something these girls ain't gettin, if you will.

    naw, #12 sounds more like sour grapes.

    can't be that bad, I was behind a woman at Whole foods who had a wrapped steak priced at $86 and change. You know how much Pb I can buy with that?

    "Laid-Off"

  • starrygordon

    Getting laid off about ten years ago and finding I could make my way part-timing did wonders for my sex life. It's like "Get laid off -- get laid." Because now you have the time and energy.

    The BBC recently did a story with a similar theme. Sex is relatively cheap, at least if you consort with a volunteer, so according to them, Britain's unemployed masses, especially the former hotshots, are screwing madly and having the time of their lives.

    But I suppose both versions are most likely bullsh*t.

    Anyone need some loving for me? I'm currently employed.

    "A Brooklyn lawyer whose boyfriend lost his $100,000-a-year Lehman Brothers job tells the tabloid, "He's just not in the mood. He's really depressed. He really loved his job, and now it's gone."

    Not to worry, he'll be back on his knees in no time...

    ^Isn't "bottle service" the name of that new vibrator?

  • everyAframe

    Wait. Those twats "in finance" were only clocking 100k? Why did I ever buy the pose of their youthful 400k swagger and meant-to-be-overheard talk of bottle service?

    If money is an aphrodisiac, loss of job would suggest loss of appetite.

    these women have always been unsatisfied in the sack. but now they're mad 'cause their older sugar daddies can no longer buy them expensive gifts to keep them interested. wall street dudes often only have their wallets to show off, and now that the money ain't coming in, it's no wonder that they feel a little... emasculated. how are they supposed to show off their trophy wives and girlfriends now, especially with no firm holiday parties in sight?

    face it -- jewelry, handbags, whatever these bitches crave, that's what keeps them giving the sex. once that isn't coming in anymore, it's no more sex, going to fuck a painter, bye bye.

    ugh, why is assumed that only men are losing their jobs on wall street? what about those femme fatales who worked in a man's world, gave up dating for their jobs and now are living alone and horny. if you're going to be snarky, at least don't be sexist.

  • zodak

    maybe these selfish "ladies" should initiate sex for once in their life.

  • ides_of_march

    The Wall Street bull has been replaced by an ox.

  • Pull My Finger

    Hey ladies, I still have my job.

    "He's just not in the mood. He's really depressed. He really loved his job, and now it's gone."

    Um... DUH! How about you buy him a bisexual hooker and the three of you go at it like it's the end of the world?!?!
