men: would you marry a pretty hairdresser or a pretty lawyer?

[Anonymous]

^^DH here. I meant you’re a woman. All right, off to work. I’ll check this thread later after the women have gone nuts because I dared say they should look good, lol.

[Anonymous]

Loolll I don't want more of your input. I just asked you to admit that you argued yourself in circles until you proved my point

I'm just on here to help women realize that men want sexy, beautiful women with sweet personalities. Being beautiful means a nice face and slim body, not buying expensive clothes I haven't heard of

No man is every going to be turned on by your JD or masters or MBA

If you want a high powered profession, don't let it turn you into a bitch or a snob, don't belittle your husband or force him to give up his career, don't let it make you look too old too early and so on

Odds are, some of those things will happen if you are a big law lawyer, so that's why kindergarten teachers won the thread

Of course looks matter and of course it's not healthy or attractive to be fat.

But looks in my mind is having a pretty face and a nice body, not expensive lawyer outfits

The sweet personality of a kindergarten teacher will win over the high end clothing of a lawyer, especially since you admit it comes with bitchiness

I read the rest of your post and there are some good points, but they seem to back up the kindergarten teacher over the high earner. Many men do not want to deal with the stuff you mentioned in your last paragraph

So now you're agreeing there are lots of reasons to not want to marry a high maintenance high earning lawyer?

DH here.

One more thing, lady: This narrative you have going where teachers are sweet and lawyers are bitchy is nonsense. I wish it were true. The truth is women in all walks of life are bitchy and if they can throw your earning power in your face, they will next time you argue, lol. No one profession has the market cornered on anything good or bad. Where do you women get this shit?

I'm cracking up over here..

What is your motivation? I'm confused. A man who really wants to defend women who are lawyers? That's why I'm having a hard time guessing your gender despite your convincing comments that all women can be bitches

I posted my motivation earlier -- want to help women avoid focusing on career over being a desirable future wife

What's yours?

DH here.

So, you’re here to push some crazy agenda, instead of just answering questions in a straightforward way. I don’t have time for that.

What questions should I answer?

The last question you asked was "Where do you women get this shit?"

Since I'm a man, I didn't respond.

I directly asked you your motivation for posting and you didn't respond....

I'm married but I am worried that many women have been given bad advice and will prioritize careers over being a desirable future wife -- that's why I posted

[Anonymous]

Until you give me a more believable motive for your posts, I will assume you are single woman lawyer who is mad that men don't want to marry you

So you think I'm a kindergarten teacher woman who is trying to boost my own dating market value? Or some anti career woman pushing an agenda for what reason exactly?

As funny as it would be to have two women pretending to be men arguing against each other.. not the case here

I asked DH this question, and he said, "all things being equal (looks, personality, etc..), the hairdresser because the lawyer will probably end up working a lot more and be stressed". He likes an easy, unhurried life (so do I). I'm neither of those professions. The money aspect is great, but it can't replace time spent with family. You can outsource all kinds of stuff, but if you are still working till 7pm, you can't split yourself into two people where one works and the other spends time with the family. Plus, more than likely, the lawyer will bring home the work, whether it's actual work or the stress from the day.

That was my DH's input.

You’re “worried” about choices random women you don’t know will make? You sound like a condescending, controlling nutjob. Taking advice from you will mean ending up with someone like you. No bueno.

You've lost the argument! Single, lonely, and not even good at winning arguments despite your JD

Yes, I am worried about what will happen to our society when a whole generation of women focused on careers and degrees over happy marriages and families.. I see many of my friends in their 30s with good jobs and no boyfriend's or fiancees and it makes me sad for them.

They were told they could have it all but it isn't true.

I'm checking out of the thread for the workday. See ya

Big law will ruin your looks.

Wait what? My sister is a hairdresser and the hours are AWFUL. She works weekends and evenings and is on her feet 50hrs a week. It is pure misery.

Lawyer here. Dated a fellow student in law school. Never again. All she wanted to do was argue.

The stereotyping in this thread is killing me.

Lawyer and hairdressers run the scale, as do school teachers. Ridiculous question and can't believe it's causing this much debate. And kindergarten teachers? Why K? Why not 2nd grade or 4th? I had a crush on my 4th grade teacher. I had a crush on my 1st grade teacher too but she was a nun. The best is the people catching feelings on the answers of others. If nothing else, DCUM can entertain.

Np. Pls offer your wife my condolences. She really took one for the sisterhood by picking up trash like you so another woman wouldn’t have that misfortune. Does she know about your fixation with female lawyers?
