When I was actively dating, I went out with a few lawyers. Never again. Every single one was a trainwreck but I just kept doing it because I wanted to piss them off and refuse them. They don’t tend to make good romantic partners.

I am sure there is a good one out there somewhere that will make someone happy but it isn’t going to be me. I developed a long list of women that I would never go out with over time based on experience - corporate execs, QA people, lawyers, strippers and many others. Those are all neon stay away signs to me.

Thankfully, I am off the market but I had to learn to stick to teachers, nurses and clergy the hard way.
