banker wanker: the aftermath

I've gotten some flak for my treatment of the banker wanker on this blog. Unfounded or no, I am compelled to present a defense.
Points of clarification:
1. HE was the first person to text me. (Whack: that he did he not know who I was when I texted him later)
2. HE didn't want to help me get to the club, yet he wanted to "go dancing" 3 hours later. (Whack: that he thinks I will go dancing with him 3 hours later, when I was not even interested in him, just being friendly and suggesting that we get a drink together)

But maybe you guys are right. Maybe this behavior is just symptomatic of the same people who would introduce themselves to me at an alumni networking happy hour and make clear within the next few minutes that they were a Banker Wanker working for not just any bank, but the #1 ranked company in Annual Net Income in financial services. (I'll give you a hint. It starts with G and ends with S.)

So I persuaded myself to be mollified and extended an olive branch with this white lie of an email:

Hi BW,

Thanks for writing. Sorry about Saturday. I know it sounds absurd, but Saturday was literally only the second time this entire summer that I have gone to LKF. [TRUTH] I was alone because I thought some people would meet me but they didn't come. [TRUTH] I didn't bring a map and I didn't have a lot of cash so I wasn't sure if I should take a cab. [TRUTH] I walked around and got really lost, and I felt kind of awkward asking people for help. [TRUTH] Then I finally ran into 2 people I knew and felt so relieved I thought I should stick with them. [LIE]

I don't mean to be such a "girl" about it but it was really overwhelming at the time. [TRUTH] I think going out next time will be much better!

Work has been interesting, I really like my job so far. I hope everything with you has been going well too. We should still catch up sometime. [MAYBE A LIE]

Talk to you soon,
Vivien

His response, a fairly prompt 45 minutes later even though I had taken over 2 days:

no worries. just relax, no pressure. but next time bring money ok? anyways, will be out on fri and sat. call me

BW


Can you guess my response?
1. Do all BW's just assume that everyone else can spend money like water because they do, and take cabs everywhere whenever they want? (I know cabs are very cheap in HK but for an environmental economist and urban planner, it adds up in a hurry.)
2. "next time bring money ok?" : Even though your livelihood is comprised of growing someone else's wealth and taking a cut, realize that money doesn't solve everything. Like being a d-bag.
3. "no pressure" : No pressure to what? Go dancing with you? Done, and done. I'm not interested in you, I was just trying to be friendly.
