Do you think these guys will ever actually get together?

They will, but not right now.
With all the weird people on here, Im not going to say.
Anyone who lives in Manhattan pays thousands in rent per month. Apartments cost into the millions. Whoever you meet there will have a connection to something.
I look through the pictures and see if its an attractive group. Attractive women usually follow guys with cash and influence. Thats the group I want to be a part of.

Hey guys,
The reason why I threw this up here in the first place was to give you an example of how to meet someone with connections. Going to a wine tasting or a happy hour is a great way to do it.
I have no faith anymore in sending out resumes. I really dont believe thats going to do it. Maybe by chance someone might be interested and give you a call on your resume. However, Im resorting to a different plan and thats meeting the people who are in charge of the game.
When I send out a resume, I feel like I am just throwing trash out onto the field. Getting out to functions and meeting the coaches and the players I feel is a better strategy.

Try going to a fundraiser if you wanna rub shoulders with the right people. You may have to spend a few bucks, but the food/drinks and eye candy are usually in abundance.
I will find the link later for you to a calendar.

Question:
Who would you go home with?
A) A gorgeous looking girl or
B) A rich guy who wants to show you how to trade?
Tough one I know.
Just kidding, good on you michael. I hope you meet some killer connections and make it big!

Fundraisers & "philantropic" events is where the rich NYC people go to make themselves feel better about themselves. Definitely a good place to try to make connections.
You might throw up afterwards though.
P.S. This is one funny thread. The guy goes to the website to meet women and ends up sleeping over a bunch of middle aged man's apartment. Hmmmm.
Its not that funny if you know NYC. When you go into the city for the weekend, you go to drink. Everyone drinks in NYC.
If you get caught drunk driving, then they take your car away and it becomes the property of the city. You never see your car ever again no matter how much money you owe on it. On top of that there are heavy fines and jail time.
So you either have four choices. Dont drink, dont go to manhattan, sleep in your car or stay over at someone's apartment on the couch. Outside of Manhattan there is no place to go besides cheesy Hoboken and a few other horrible places.
If you have an apartment in the city, then you are used to people staying over each weekend and crashing on the couch. Its common routine. No one really minds.
I have partied in the city for over ten years and its not uncommon for me to land up on the couch of someone's apartment that I dont know. Sometimes you will go out and people will invite you back to their apartment for a party they are having.
Its a fun place. Lots of culture and community. Everyone sticks together. Not like California where everyone backstabs you and treats you like a stranger.

Wow you don't say! You have opened my eyes.
I am completely clueless about any of these issues and must have totally missed them in the last 7 years I have been living in Manhattan. I appreciate your Bridge & Tunnel input, which seems to come off as self promoting & boasting about your whacky Manhattan adventures filled with fun nights spent on couches of random mens' apartments.
Sadly, I must inform you that you, sir, need some help in the thinking department.
See, the smarter people who come into Manhattan to party do make a serious attempt to use public transportation cause depending on the designated driver is a b*tch. So is trying to find your car late at night, or paying for all night parking or finding out that your car has been towed. Most do avoid the fun times of drunk driving, without the need of learning these lessons the hard way unlike you.
Sleeping on someone's couch is not a comfortable proposition, apartment space is somewhat limited in Manhattan and a nice sleeping couch is pretty low on the priority list. Rather have you take a cab, it's really not that expensive and is way worth it when you want your bed, not some couch. The train is always there as well, can be a fun adventure. One would be surprised the fun people you can meet on LIRR or NJTransit at 2-5am.
Being "the guy on the couch" is not a flattering image, just because it's Manhattan, it does not mean that the couch is a free hotel.
But hey, if your idea of NYC culture & community consist of yuppie bars, the notion that EVERYONE drinks in NYC and big investment firm execs, then the puzzle pieces fit a little better. After all, the diversity, common sense and personality levels are quite high in those cirlcles, highlighted by the endless de ja vu of that same blue shirt. I desperately wish I could join this culturally rich and intellectually stimulating group but sadly, my one & only blue shirt was lost in a horrible drinking accident involving vomit. So until then, I will just have to dream about joining the sausage fest filled by the financial industry parasites.
P.S. I was just making a humorous comment about your initial awkward sounding post. You know being able to laugh at yourself is a good quality to have. Yet your lecture and stories of your Manhattan exploits & savvy were completely uncalled for.
