Why would I want to match with anyone who would be put off by me being a lawyer? I worked hard for that. Don’t lower yourself to meet some idiot’s high water mark.

I agree. If they don’t like it I’d rather just get it out there before I waste time meeting them.

I've gone back and forth.
I was a younger lawyer, and have never been into dating older. I found that putting it on my profile reduced my matches with men my age. I also always got reactions when it came up during dates.
Haven't dated during covid, but matching with less people seems like a good thing these days. Who has the time, ya know?

Yeah, they gotta know what type of personality/ lifestyle they’re dealing with. Some things just come with the territory of being an attorney and if they can’t hang 🤷🏻‍♀️ eliminate now before wasting any time!

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?
