[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met mine when we were both in law school. He’s a partner now and I don’t know a single partner who isn’t married unless he’s divorced. The vast majority of my biglaw friends paired up while in law school come to think of it (of course not all with lawyers but a LOT are). [/quote]

Lawyers tend to be married to law school classmates -- maybe not married when they start in big law -- just dating.  But on the guy side the first and second round draft picks are already married.  [/quote]

This is my experience as a millennial. The overwhelming majority of my law school friends are married to another lawyer. [/quote]

Same - they want interesting conversation. [/quote]

Ha. I think you might be overestimating how interesting layers are. [/quote]
This, I know two big law partners in their 30s. One is a woman who is absolutely brilliant but kind of stern and cold and her husband is very outgoing and charming and a typical guy's guy. They work well together. [b]The other is a man who is again, very smart, but he's kind of shy and socially awkward. He is dating a woman who is smart but I think has a little bit of a lower stress job than him, and frankly, she can carry a conversation much better. [/b]

I don't see lawyers pair up with other lawyers frequently. [/quote]
I think that is a thing with shy men in general - when women are shy it's cute and charming but when men are they are seen as weird and socially awkward. So a lot of shy men pair off with women who can carry them in social situations. So, nothing to do with big law but just an observation.

But yes I do agree the big law people I know are nerds and weren't exactly the cool kids in high school. [/quote]
