According to a new study, the results of which are somewhat suspect, among the seventy-two percent of bankers who’ve supposedly had an affair, 63 percent of the males “said that they were convinced their wives knew about their affairs,” versus 3% of female bankers who said the same of their husbands. Here are a few other details respondents got off their chests:
87% of affairs involve a work colleague
26% of male bankers had had an affair with their PA / secretary
24% said that they ‘played away’ because their wife now reminded them more of their mother
4% said that they did it in the hope of getting caught
63% of male bankers said that they were convinced their wives knew about their affairs, but said nothing for the sake of the relationship
Just 3% of female bankers said that they were convinced their husbands knew about their affairs
41% said that they weren’t looking for an affair (it just happened)
13% confirmed that they had had an affair with their immediate boss

4% wanted to get caught? Makes as much sense as rigging your grades and going to Nevada-Reno.

… and with that background information, given your gender, physical attributes, and likely pay grade, calculate the probability to 4 decimal places that you will get laid within your first year of work.

People are weird. They do stuff like that
“The average period between female banker affairs is 5 years 4 months”
Thats a lot of tampons.
I wonder if it was the same immediate boss having affairs with 13% of bankers.
Bankers. Does this include tellers and cs reps at my local HSBC?
98% said they would never have an affair with someone at UBS
Much easier for a woman to carry on an affair without her spouse catching on — fewer performance issues at home. A 40-y.o. male who has just had the afternoon of his life is much more likely to get found out that evening at home, whereas the 40-y.o. woman can just lie back and think of England…
“Lie back and think of England” is an English saying with roughly the same meaning as “grit one’s teeth”

Thanks wikipedia!
It refers to investment banks not the IMF
This seems to be more of a commentary on women and probabilistic thinking..
I knew my wife was going to get fucked silly by other men before she did.

Since when are female bankers ever in relationships?
I required 100% of my “personal assistants” to wear a fleece when i did them doggie.
-Steve Fleeceman
I think of purses. And sailboats filled with money.
Hopefully one female banker responded that she was considering an affair and was “Pre-Menstral Constantly.”

Makes the sex more exciting.
So just to summarize:
97% of female bankers are delusional and think men are idiots
63% of male bankers are assholes
26% of male bankers work on the roof of 85 Broad
Sounds about right.
But they suck. You gotta like that, no?
and who said you can’t learn anything from reading DB?!?
Nope. Never had an affair. I find it gauche.
And 100% of respondents agreed that Deborahlee Loranzana was not in fact ”too hot for Citi,” and/or banking generally.
No one, or at least no one with a brain, considering DB regularly breaks news ahead of the MSM, etc.

… and 76% of respondents said that they ‘played away’ because their wife didn’t remind them enough of their mother.
You know what? That strikes me as quite odd. But, you can’t argue with statistics, right?
liquidity problems need to be addressed
Bayes called. He says you are never to use his Theorem again.
Was the Joke Briefer too slow on the draw?
what makes it hot is the THREAT of getting caught, not the actual getting caught. christ.
-98% of statistics used in studies about bankers and sex are complete bullshit.
And in a surprising move, the NLRB just announced they will be representing the collective barganining rights of the hookers that make up 69% of the 87% “work colleauges” category suing wall street for health and retirement benefits.
Bayes apparently lacked a sense of humor.

It’s 200 West, not 85 Broad, where have you been?
It’s not a problem if the other two rides in the amusement park stay open.
I’m ok with you just using your right hand.

and the remaining 2% are made up.
You find that never previously having had an affair is gauche?
