There were a lot of mixed feelings in the office when we heard the story about the banker who organized his online dating prospects on a spreadsheet.
But then we remembered that back in the day, there was a story about a woman who had done something pretty similar.
In 2010, Ivana Takitall, the author of "Bankers, Bonuses and Big Divorce Settlements," spoke to"Here Is The City" about which banks have the best men. Her answers are totally candid, just like Spreadsheet guy's, and she clearly put a lot of thought into them
So see if you agree with what she had to say.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch - intense and short relationships
"Keep to the guys who are based in the main financial centers, as the others can be a little rough around the edges. If you are looking for a life-long commitment, then these guys are generally not your best bet. The Merrill set, in particular, have been known to stray. Relationships can be very intense, yet of relatively short duration. These guys often have low boredom thresholds." - Ivana Takitali

Barclays Capital - the rich guys
"These guys are pretty smart, and are usually quite happy to splash their cash, bearing in mind uncle Bob Diamond is always happy to dish out big bonuses each year-end. Be a little careful, however, especially with the bankers who came over from Lehman - some of those guys had a lot of their net worth invested in that firm, and aren't now as well off as you might expect." - Ivana Takitali

Citi - your mother's dream
"Those Citi boys are really quite a decent lot. Your mother would like them. They are generally respectful and are into commitment. You'll know where you stand. The only downside, however, is that they can be boringly conventional."- Ivana Takitali
