No, these are not sad guys on trading floors. They are actually the girlfriends and wives of sad guys on trading floors (and NYC banker-types in general) who have formed a support group for themselves because the sad guys are just so sad.
They call their group Dating A Banker Anonymous, and clicking the photo will take you to a NYTimes article that tells you all about them. From their site:
Are you or someone you love dating a banker? If so, we are here to support you through these difficult times. Dating A Banker Anonymous (DABA) is a safe place where women can come together – free from the scrutiny of feminists– and share their tearful tales of how the mortgage meltdown has affected their relationships. DABA Girls was started by two best friends whose relationships tanked with the economy. Not knowing what else to do, we did what frustrated but articulate girls have done since the beginning of time - we started a blog. So if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life, lighten your heart with laughter and email your stories to dabagirls@gmail.com. Warning all stories sent will be infused with our own special brand of DABA Girl humor.
