[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was very different when I was in law school, OP. Many, many couples formed. I met my now DH when we were both summer associates at big firms -- that is another great time for meeting someone, as many couples formed then, so keep working to get a good job! I was single for a bit as a big law associate and I would say I am about a 7 all rounder, probably an 8 or 9 in the professional world, and honestly, before I turned 30, I could have dated anyone I wanted. It would have been harder after say 32, I think, and when it became clear to me and the firm that I was not partner material. Long story short -- one's personal "stock" rises and falls, its fluid rather than static, and you need to figure out when it has maximized. Kind of a funny way to think of it, but honestly, really pretty true. [/quote]

It's so true. When my DH and I met I was 23 and he was 24.  I was a cute, fit 1L at Georgetown with big boobs and great clothes (thanks mom and dad) and lots of confidence, and he was a skinny, awkward low-level congressional staffer with a degree from a no-name school and a minor drinking problem.  I met him when I was coming off of a bad relationship with an alpha type, and his best friend was dating my best friend so it seemed convenient. It turned out DH was incredibly funny, sweet, and smart.  Fast forward 15 years and he is a very successful lobbyist who has filled out but stays in shape and looks amazing.  I am a frumpy, flabby mom-type with a crappy career and lingering PPD.  We still make each other laugh every day and for some crazy reason he still thinks I am hot. I am so, so thankful to my 23-year-old self, because honestly I was not thinking long term when we met. I just fell in love, and got super super lucky. My DH claims he feels lucky too but I know if we were both single now he wouldn't give me a second look. [/quote]
