[quote=Anonymous]Male lawyer in biglaw here married to a female lawyer who was fed and now SAHM.

The problem for female lawyers is the numbers game.  Most women want to date someone of similar educational and financial attainment.  If you are a successful female lawyer looking for similar, you have already crossed off 80% of men.  Also, few relationships survive law school, so they come out single around age 26 when half or more of the men are married or in serious relationships.  Then they hit the dating market competing with women who may be younger and prettier.    Add in a hectic schedule and stress.  It's a tough combo.

At my firm, there are about 100 partners, 80 male/20 female.  Almost all of the male partners are married with children, few of the women partners are (some were married now divorced).  The women are attractive, interesting, in shape, and fun (when they have time) but the dating market is brutal for them.  I suspect it's not just attorneys but any high hour, high stress, lot's of schooling career.[/quote]
