| Female attorneys, has being an attorney been a liability to getting dates? Has it been a big turn off to a particular demographic of men? |

I mean, I'm a married female attorney so it hasn't been that big a problem. I met my husband when I was a junior associate, but I did switch to government in large part because my job did not allow enough time to see him: we'd moved in together but he was home alone. I do know people who feel unable to make room in their schedules for a boyfriend.
I haven't met anybody who says "I don't date attorneys" but I guess I wouldn't have much cause to meet them in that context. PS, don't date where you work. |

| No, but I'm not a personal injury or divorce lawyer. That's the kiss of death. I'm an intellectual property lawyer and smart guys kind of like it. |

| lol no. anyone who would not want to date female attorneys would a) be a horrible match for me no matter my profession and b) not really be able to date in DC. |

| Most female lawyers I know are cool people and mostly intelligent, but don't seem to have a lot of warmth. They're no nonsense. Which can be good or bad. I think some men would be intimidated by a really high earning woman as well |

| No they are f'ing hot. Intelligence, typically know how to handle adversity, can take charge, frequently well dressed, and frequetly love power exchange in bed |

I'm a female attorney with a sexy fiancé ten years younger than me.
I just don't take myself too seriously, which a lot of women attorneys do. |

| Pretty ideal, actually, especially if biglaw/trial work. No time for gamplaying or nonsense. |
