Recession Reality Hits DABA Girls
Most of you by now have read the New York Times article on the DABA Girls AKA Dating A Banker Anonymous Girls. They’ve received both positive and negative attention around their support group and blog for women who’s “dating a banker” relationships have hit the rocks due to the current state of the economy.
Now, on one hand I feel for them because we’re all affected by this in one way or another. On the other hand I want to shake a few of them, telling them that this is the reality of being in a long term relationship. No matter the industry, I’m sure every woman out there feels the financial pain of the recession. It sorta reminds me of two year olds communing around the breast pump lamenting about losing the breast and what oh what will they do now?
Get where I’m going?
Of course, they remind me of Toxic Wives, women who are only concerned about the good *financial* times in a relationship and all of a sudden can hardly function when times get hard. How about being an asset in your relationship? Emotional support? Bringing up the rear in hard times? Sitting around talking about how the DOW affects tonight’s sex just seems painfully shallow and I wish they had more things going for them.
*sigh*
What do you think? Obviously you have my position on the issue. What say you?
This recession isn't funny. However. I did chuckle at this and I think it's just sad. They all need to WOman up! A lot of folks are going through it!
*SNORTS*…. The recession is definitely not funny, but seriously? DABA Girls? This is for real, Ginger?
You aren't pulling my leg? That's crazy. They need a life. LOL!!!
Or at the very least, a plug-in-to-the-wall, working dildo.

LOL yes I am serious and I am lmao at plug into a dildo lolololol
It's a hoax, gawker's been following it. NPR did a story on why it smells to high heaven ("support group" although no one interacts on the site, the site was registered after the first posts were supposedly up etc etc). It went wide because of the NYT. Look away. You're being had.
The guys knew what they were buying and the ladies knew what they were selling.
I have to say this was just sad..I don't feel sorry for these women in what reality were they living in? I mean where have they been where they don't see that the recession is affecting all areas? Ugh disgusted is what I am….I generally approve of support groups but really? because you can't buy your jimmy choos its called BUDGET! these women need to WOMAN UP!
Really? So is it more like a hoax from the start or they took advantage of the attention they started getting? Interesting.
the Economic Recession has been pretty hard on us. some of my friends lost their job because of the massive job cuts. i just hope that our economy becomes better in the following years.
Don’t be afraid to snoop around and ask personal questions to see who that person has met online!
