THE most eligible people on Wall Street didn’t turn out to be all that, well . . . eligible.
Matchmaker Samantha Daniels, founder of Samantha’s Table, hosted an event at ABC Carpet & Home last week that promised to bring out the Street’s most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.
But what turned up was a mixed bag.
“This is a cross between the brightest and most beautiful and the most desperate on Wall Street,” said one of the most “eligible” men, who asked not to be named, because he’s going through a divorce.
“Like the stock market right now, there are blue chips acting like dogs and then just dogs acting like dogs,” he said. “The former tend to be the women and the latter tend to be the men.”
But why would these men and women, who seem to have so much going for them need help meeting people?
“I work on the weekends and I work at night,” said Wasserstein’s President and COO, George Majoros, who still finds the time to play in a rock bank, the Rolling Bones.
However, the truth may lie in something one bachelor admitted to The Post.
“I’m so busy I have to have my secretary cancel my dates,” he told Bull’s Eye spy Lisa Marsh.
Perhaps he’d have better luck if he used the time it took to bark the order to his secretary to call the date himself.
