It's a time demanding job.
Driven people who know what they want and have high standards.
They may not be afraid to be single until/if the right person comes along. Has nothing to do with being an Attorney, but rather, a person of self-respect and confidence.
Plus, as others have said, it’s a demanding job.

If you say the truth you might get reported
It’s hard for them - between being really busy, likely wanting someone of similar means (narrowing the dating pool) and working in a profession that has a lot of stereotypes that aren’t great for women there’s just a lot working against them when it comes to dating. I date a lot of male lawyers (DC - everyone’s a lawyer lol), and most say they won’t even consider dating someone in the same profession. Probably doesn’t help that in the 40+ age group most are coming out of nasty divorces with their law school sweethearts.
A lot of women won’t date men who aren’t as “successful” as them so that limits the dating pool (e.g. how many female lawyers do you see married to a school teacher, waiter, plumber). So they self limit their dating pool. Successful men have no problem dating a woman who has any type of job… teachers, waitresses, even their own secretary, interns, or Instagram Influencers.

Why aren’t they on here?
Hellloooo Ladies!!!!
What age group do you see ?
Late 30s and older
There could be various reasons for that. I personally prefer to meet men the old fashioned, natural way. But sometimes, we want a better understanding of who may be available and where. Many of us are too busy to go to social speed-dating functions or perhaps we’re too tired to go to after-work networking events to meet people; yet, we’re still lonesome. In the name of time, money and efficiency, we may decide to scroll online to see who may be available.
Another reason is lack of patience, but that’s applicable not only to lawyers but most people in other professions as well. Who wants to spend years speed-dating to meet someone, when there are apps that can give me a quick overview of someone in less than two minutes?
I don’t want to spend years searching for someone, but I also want to know that who I see today is who I will see tomorrow; versus the young attractive picture I scrolled through yesterday was actually a picture taken 15 years prior - after meeting in-person today. I want to avoid the guess work.
> “but that’s applicable to most people in other professions as well.”
The word “most” stands out. There’s no evidence of that.
How can I find a 40-something lady lawyer? I haven’t tried the apps yet but maybe I should?
There are tons of single lawyers out there in that age group.
It’s difficult to be with a lawyer. They twist their words all the time, and everyday is filled with arguments
Cause some dudes probably scared of them.
