Why do guys think that they have to have aspirations of becoming lawyers in order to impress me? When I meet a guy that I like, that tends to mean that I like him the way that he is. For instance, I met this artist at a wedding awhile back and he seemed really interesting. As soon as he found out that I was an attorney, however, the conversation shifted from music to LSAT scores. Turns out, he's "studying" for the LSAT and hoping to get a better score this time around. From there on out, all he wanted to talk about was law school, which happens to be the last thing I'm interested in discussing with this guy. If there's anything worse than lawyers, it's wannabe lawyers. The worst part is that I think, most of the time, guys are just saying this for my benefit, as if its some kind of prerequisite to flirting with me.
Then there are the guys that don't seem the slightest bit interested in me until they find out that I'm an attorney. At first, I thought it was a money thing, like they assumed that meant I was rich or something (wrong), but I've since decided that it's something different. I think these guys think that my profession means that I have my shit together (also wrong), and that my ambition will somehow rub off on them.
I think I'm just going to start telling people I meet that I work at the Gap.
