Wall Street Legend David Einhorn Confesses He Has No Game, Dating Still Boring
KEY POINTS
- •David Einhorn, the famous short-seller and Greenlight Capital founder, headlined the 2026 Tax Day Party in Manhattan.
- •Einhorn joked about having no dating game and avoided questions about his current financial positions.
- •Attendees included venture capitalists and creatives debating whether millennials on Wall Street are nerder and less social than before.
At the 2026 Tax Day Party in a rickety elevator-accessed Downtown Manhattan dive called The Bench, legendary short-seller David Einhorn—Greenlight Capital founder since 1996 and all-around Wall Street fossil—admitted his main pickup line is just 'I'm David from Wisconsin.' Despite organizing a party that awkwardly mixes venture capitalists in slip skirts with startup founders pushing AI dating apps, Einhorn claims he has no game and doesn’t use dating apps because, well, 'that could be dangerous.' Guests debated whether Wall Street juniors are ‘nerdier’ and more sober post-pandemic, fueling 25-year-old fashion professional Kat Psaltos' complaint that financiers now avoid weekday dates like the IRS avoids zero audits.

(1 of 3)David Einhorn’s idea of flirting is low-key announcing he’s from Wisconsin—because apparently Wall Street game is as extinct as their party lifestyle.
Watching a finance legend admit his lack of game is like seeing your dad try to flirt on TikTok—it’s painfully honest and painfully awkward.
If 'I’m David from Wisconsin' is Wall Street’s pickup line, no wonder the market’s so off balance.
