Food for thought....most dudes on Wall Street run game, in the general sense, for a living. There's so much lying, manipulation, politics, and sales involved in the business that it naturally attracts smart and/or charismatic people.

Wall Street is huge, and there are many, many kinds of work involved, not just the high-flying investment bankers and traders that you see in Hollywood flicks.

There's armies of quants, devs, operations staff, attorneys, etc many of whom make a very good living without having to engage in any of the behaviors you mentioned.

So yes, the iBankers may be smooth talkers, but I've known quants who were aspy as fuck and could barely pull 1 girl a year.
