I've tried, yall I've tried it. But I just CANNOT date another attorney. Case closed (pun intended). Am I the only one? We literally didn't have time to even grab more than two dinners, had to do Zoom dates 80% of the time we were together.

I swore off attorneys because I ended up dating a lot of men who just loved hearing themselves argue and winning arguments😅

Lolol

I've stopped dating women attorneys because far too many assume their professional accomplishments means they're quality relationship options. They basically sell themselves like men do.

Some people use their careers as shields for dating. I don’t date people who don’t know what they want in a relationship and aren’t intentional about building the type of relationship I’m looking for. For me, this doesn’t mean excluding lawyers, just ones who are emotionally unavailable and unable to prioritize the same things as me

Exactly, because I’m a BL lawyer and I make time for family and friends and myself as I consider them priorities. I want someone who had a similar view and I’m not convinced other lawyers don’t feel the same
