[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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?[/quote]

Not for me, but I see how it could be for some guys.  Personally, as a single, professional guy with a good career, I am attracted to successful, smart women.  But, I also grew up around career-oriented women.  My mom is a physician and both my sisters went to top schools and both have great careers.  I have been on several dates with very attractive attorneys at big law firms, and I can see how they are tough to date.  Two stand out...  One is a partner at a global DC firm and another is counsel at a top NYC-based firm known as a sweatshop.  It was so hard to schedule time to date, so both fizzled out.  From what I know, both are still single.  It's unfortunate because both are awesome people, just beholden to their jobs (and I'm talking working until 2am for a late 30s woman...that just sucks).

I've also dated lawyers who weren't in big law and they're no different from other non-lawyers.
