The best "networking" opportunities for this sort of thing are professional conferences, the expense account restaurants of K Street, the better bars on the Hill, the prep bars in Georgetown on weekend game days/nights, the gyms downtown (or in McLean or Potomac on weekends).

A few have reeled some big catches. Purrr!


Yum, yum.

Is the gold-digger a new career opportunity in DC?


A tech geek claiming they are the pick??? Sounds like my delusional baby daddy.
DC has politicos, athletes, and k street partners. Mr oracle developer need not worry
