Why does everyone dislike attorneys? What is the best profession to marry then?

Someone told me (a women) never marry an attorney. That person was right. They are their own client...they put themselves first above everyone and care about winning/getting their own way with everything, and they are expert gaslighters...requiring you to have “evidence” in every argument.

DW married an attorney and he has made her very, very happy. She is a very lucky woman, believe me.

Someone ate an entire humble pie for breakfast!

So I typically can't date restaurant industry people or musicians or anyone who works something other than 9-5. I have tried several times and end up crabby because I end up giving up sleep and workouts and they give up nothing.

You sound like an inflexible handful. A man will not solve this.

I would always be worried about groupies.

Two professions I would shy away from:

- Used car salesmen
- Anyone who works for a Republican.

I agree. I am married to a musician, and the last year was big for him. Which meant I was a single parent for most of it.

I am not worried about groupies, though

I had to laugh that she filed for divorce on Friday like she is some big name celebrity.

When no one bit, she dropped the news herself on Sunday.

THOSE ARE NOT PROFESSIONS!

Snarky people like the above.

Union Official.

Completely irrational, but my family ran a small business that when I grew up that ran into union problems regularly. I gained a real distaste for the people I knew who held that position.

Female here. Would not date someone who was a super-liberal or ultra involved in Democratic politics. Centrist is best. Makes for intelligent conversation, not all-out fights.

I married a blue collar guy. I never considered dating one because frankly i never got to know one. I'm the typical over-educated (2 masters) DC woman. Until, well, my husband.

I get the whole compatible-hours thing. My husband often leaves for work at 5am. So i became a morning person. I workout at 5am, not 7pm. We both go to sleep by 8 or 9. I don't work til 9am so I work out then do laundry or cooking all before going to the office. I have literally nothing to do when i get home around 6 but eat dinner and spend time with my DH and kid. I love that feeling of freedom that when my work day is over, it's really over.

Litigator isn’t the most relaxing nor is up at 5 down at 10. Maybe another lawyer or a schoolteacher.

On paper, my ex-beau would have been a good husband match for me. But he is super argumentative -- a Hill senior Counsel. We still have lunch 1-2 times per year. He always says "why didn't we get married?" I then say, because you love to argue too much. He then starts arguing that I am wrong. Bingo.

It's pretty much been a pattern with lawyers for me. So, no.

It's about professions

New poster, but let's include thief, cat-burglar, embezzler, murderer, rapist, hitmen, mafia stooge, drug dealer, conartist, anybody who does MLM.
