The article discusses the popular TikTok song “Man in finance” that has become an anthem for women seeking wealthy men. However, when NBC News interviewed women in Lower Manhattan’s financial district, they found that women are not necessarily looking for men in finance. While they wouldn’t mind someone who can pick up the bill, they are not specifically seeking finance guys.
The song highlights tensions about money and dating in a time when gender roles are changing, dating is expensive, and people are experiencing app fatigue. Many women find finance bros to be boring and are looking for someone with more personality than just wealth.
While the song has become a sensation on TikTok, with creators discussing how to find the perfect finance man, some women in the Financial District have resorted to holding up signs with the song’s lyrics in hopes of finding their ideal match. However, the creator of the song, Megan Boni, revealed that she is not actually looking for a man in finance herself.
Ultimately, women in the Financial District are looking for someone with more personality and excitement than the stereotypical finance bro. They would prefer someone who is fun and vibrant rather than someone who simply has a lot of money. Despite the allure of the finance world, some men working in finance are also considering switching careers due to social media stereotypes and the pressure to conform to certain aesthetics.
