Why most guys are reluctant to date female lawyers? Do they fear being sued if the relationship turns sour?

[Anonymous]

Or is it just the stereotypes from lawyer jokes?

There is no single answer to this question, as everyone's preferences and attitudes towards dating are unique and can be influenced by a variety of factors. However, there are a few possible reasons why some guys may be reluctant to date female lawyers:

1. Stereotypes and biases: Lawyers are often portrayed in the media as being cold, aggressive, and confrontational, which can create negative stereotypes and biases towards the profession. These stereotypes may make some guys hesitant to date a female lawyer, especially if they believe that she will be overly demanding or difficult to get along with.

2. Busy schedules: Lawyers often have demanding and unpredictable work schedules, which can make it difficult to find time for dating and building relationships. Some guys may be hesitant to date a female lawyer because they are concerned that her work schedule will make it challenging to spend time together and build a strong connection.

3. Fear of being intimidated or judged: Some guys may feel intimidated by a female lawyer's intelligence, education, and professional success, especially if their own careers or interests are different. They may also be concerned that they will be judged or evaluated based on their own accomplishments and achievements.

It's important to remember that stereotypes and biases are not necessarily representative of reality, and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and kindness regardless of their profession or background. If you are a female lawyer who is interested in dating, it may be helpful to approach potential partners with an open and non-judgmental mindset, and to communicate your needs and expectations in a clear and respectful way.

Lawyers tend to be very tightly wound, strict, spiteful, bitter, jaded, and emotionally stunted people.

Sociopathy is common in lawyers who aren't unhappy/jaded, and they tend to not be the bubbly and cute type.

They also usually aren't artistically talented, and usually aren't gamers (or nerds in general).

Their clothing preferences are usually boring, they are unlikely to enjoy cosplay or anime, and their job also tends to consume their life, and put them at risk from attack by dusgruntled criminals.

Also spending that much time reaearching law means they don't research science much or at all.

researching*

[TheSpaceGnome]

So basically I just can't relate to them.

Also lawyers get paid to lie and be manipulative.

Because a women who passed their bar is making a lot of money and put in worl, and tough enough to handle a ling grind to success.


It makes us look ourselves and realize our value , usually not nearly as high.


If we ain't a doctor, a sports star, a famous musician, we would get cut from the audition to make the 2nd audition, let alone receive the part

For starters, most attorney work long hours regardless of what sex they are. 60-70 hour weeks are pretty common for young attorneys that are just getting started at someone else's firm. As you get older and own your own business you might be able to scale that back to 50 hours a week or maybe 40 hours a week if you're something like a patent attorney and you want a more normal family life over money.

On average men in America work 40.5 hours per week and women work 36.6 hours per week. As a young attorney you're basically working twice as long as most young women and have little to no time to devote to a relationship. When people are overworked they also tend to be pretty unhappy people with high levels of stress.

I doubt they fear being sued for some reason. There might be personality issues, or just general issues that any man and woman can have. I've known a lot of female lawyers over the years. Come to think of it, I've never "dated" one but I have hung out with several. There is no specific reason why I've never dated one.

A lot of people just hate lawyers either from personal experience or hearing horror stories about the courtroom (lawyers defending evil people or prosecuting good people).
I don’t know if there’s different kinds of lawyers that don’t do that sort of stuff, but that’s a basic answer off the top of my head. Occupation prejudice.

[FilmGuy93]

I'm sure that being sued is part of it. As a (soon to be) lawyer, myself, I can tell you that I don't want to date a fellow lawyer for the simple fact that every female lawyer I've met has been an extremely combative person.

If I met a female lawyer who I got a long with well on a romantic level, I would probably be open to dating her, but it's not a union I would go looking for.

Meanwhile in reality there is some other explanation for whatever it is that you are experiencing, you would just prefer to frame things in this manner because then it is not your fault.

Congratulations you are a human, now you need to work on becoming a self aware human.

I dated a divorce lawyer once. She was very self-conscious about it. On our only date I wasn't feeling very well and I think she thought I was checking out other girls in the bar. I wish I had called her and asked for another date but I wound up ghosting her.

[EpicSnail]

Doubt a female lawyer would date me. In my experience, the more educated a woman is, the higher her standards are for men. So it just sounds like a hassle, and she'd probably dump me eventually anyway.

I dated an attorney for a couple of years in my 20's. She ended up going to federal prison for mortgage fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.

Guys don't generally care what job you have. I can't see it being much of a factor in dating to be honest

[slatyb]

I would happily date a lawyer. It's a very interesting profession.

Female lawyers generally aren't attractive to guys for reasons other than looks. It also doesn't help that many of them are hardcore leftist political activists and anti-male.

[Ben487]

I don’t think guys are reluctant to date lawyers. Guys generally don’t care what you do for a living

[SirJohn42]

I personally dont think anything is wrong with you being a lawyer.
My only gripe is lack of time together or she is to tired to hang out.

[LiamJHayden]

I have dated female attorneys before. The biggest issue has always been a lack of time to spend together.

[msc545]

Women in general are a lot of trouble. A female lawyer who is trained to argue well is even more trouble than the average woman.

[Anonymous]

Hmm. Choosing a woman who's paid to lie for a living. What could possibly be negative about that? 😆😆😆

[shades777]

because your too smart, and nobody wants to date a brainiac

[Anonymous]

Corporate and a lot of criminal lawyers, divorce lawyers are awful people in nature.

I am having a relationship with one. Would I be able to have some opinions from you?
