Okay, so maybe there's a reason why women should just use investment bankers for expensive meals: It seems that they can be really awful boyfriends. For instance, there's the J.P. Morgan banker who cheated on his wife with a co-worker, only to follow the co-worker to London and stalk her. And then there's this alleged email from an investment banker who went on ONE date with a woman, "I’m disappointed in you. I’m disappointed that I haven’t gotten a response to my voicemail and text messages... I suggest that you make a sincere apology to me for giving me mixed signals. I feel led on by you."
Evidence Suggests Investment Bankers Make Terrible Boyfriends

It's 11/11/11, Just Like It Was 100 Years Ago
Happy 11/11/11 to everyone... after all, today isn't just for corduroy lovers. It's for doomsday lovers, and numerology lovers, and astrology lovers, and people who just like to believe in a little bit of good luck. It might also be for the Mayans. But this day has happened before, in 1911, and The NY Times was ON IT. That day, the paper wrote...
Suspected Mobster "Baby Fat" Wants Judge To Lift His Curfew So He Can Perhaps Date
If you're an alleged gangster with a strict, court-mandated 7 p.m. curfew, that probably cramps your style. Which is why Anthony Durso, nicknamed "Baby Fat," is asking a judge for some help. The Daily News got a hold of the letter his lawyer wrote to a federal judge, "He goes home and eats dinner with his mother and stepfather and then has to stay home every night with them. He is a 27-year-old man and would like to have some leisure time away from his parents and his home. He would like to leave his home after work and perhaps go on a date or just go out of the house."
Monserrate, Giraldo Resume Romance With Court Approval
Now that Hiram Monserrate is allowed to see girlfriend Karla Giraldo again, he's not wasting time getting back to the delicate art of seduction. The Daily News reports that right after a judge modified his restraining order, he whisked her back to her apartment so she could change for their romantic dinner. As he waited, he remarked, "You always gotta be patient with women, right?" You know, unless you find another man's PBA card in her purse. Then they were off to Cavo in Astoria, where he "fed [her] olive dip on a piece of pita bread." How did this Casanova manage to stay single this long?!
Salinger's Former Date Kisses & Tells

Middle Age Internet Lothario Accused of Conning Lovers
Ladies, meet Martin Berres, a 62-year-old single man who describes himself on his MySpace page (martynycforever!) as a "classy native New Yorker." His heroes include Niccolò Machiavelli, and he is "in better shape and health than most men 1/3 my years. Do not let the age mislead you; I am young in heart and looks... I consider myself to be a find." Marty would love to meet you provided you meet the "paramount" requirement of "outside beauty" and "inside beauty." Oh, and you should also have lots of money and jewelry he can pawn—according to two women who say Berres swindled them out of $400,000.
Will You Date These New Yorkers?
Still looking for that perfect so-and-so to share the 14th with? Time Out NY has a plethora of single men and women for you to date in their "Date These New Yorkers" feature...and some of them look awfully familiar. There's the human blockhead from the Coney Island Sideshow, Judah Friedlander of 30 Rock, Matt Pinfield, someone named Moonshine, and Brooklyn's own Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson (learn more about him here). Not too shabby! But ladies, beware: Not all these fellas are showing their true selves—take Nate H. for example. While he may seem harmless in his dolphin costume (though this could be a hat tip to the Furry culture?), what he doesn't mention is that he can often be found rummaging through trash in Chinatown to make sculptures out of fish heads and other assorted dead animals. But maybe that's what does it for you?

Dinner and a Movie and a Beatdown
Like a scene out of Never Been Kissed, three teenagers in New Jersey were arrested for setting a classmate up on a date only to have him humiliated and attacked. A 16-year-old girl in Morristown agreed to go on the date last week with a classmate who had been wooing her unsuccessfully for quite some time. But when the two arrived in the garage of the movie theaters at Headquarters Plaza, she stepped away so that her two male friends could jump him inside his car. When the victim ran for help, the two attackers drove off with his car. The boys have been charged with assault and carjacking, while the girl was booked for conspiracy to commit assault and permanently eradicating her admirer's self-confidence.
