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!

However, we do not think of DC as such a place. Yet one of my married, male (college) friends has told me that in his field (northern VA technology) he has encountered a surprising number of this mold.
Is the gold-digger a new career opportunity in DC?
