The reason why biglawyers don't do well in NYC dating scene is NOT because of the few hedge fund bros that made $300+ in their late 20's.
Biglawyers do not fare well because they are social retards. |
|
Date: May 18th, 2012 10:14 AM Author: shaky alpha You're a moron. I can think of plenty of professions full of more social retards than biglaw. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20717046) |

Date: May 18th, 2012 11:04 AM Author: 180 Impressive Locus Trust Fund Lol.
Yeah!
Biglawyers are less of social retards than computer geeks. Therefore, biglawyers are NOT social retards.
Nice argument fag! |
|
Date: May 18th, 2012 11:17 AM Author: shaky alpha Everything is relative shithead. Of course there are biglaw social retards, but per capita less so than dentists/doctors for example (who are usually nerdy jews or indians), IT guys, and accountants.

Date: May 16th, 2012 6:39 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid Retarded flame. Most lawyers have banker and pe/hf friends they go clubbing with. The average NYC club skank from Jersey/Outer boroughs/LI won't even know what a hedge fund is, all they will see is a Manhattan guy getting bottle service.

Date: May 16th, 2012 6:43 PM Author: adventurous institution the average NYC club skank from Jersey/outer boroughs is no prize bro. Want a cute PR chick or recruiter who lives in MFH and knows whats up? You're SOL. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20705695) |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 6:47 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid Why is it no prize? Some of them are quite hot and young.
PR/HR chicks do not make enough to live MFH unless they are the elite of the bunch or have roommates.
If you are looking for wife material and not banging material, a well educated chick will consider more than money unless she is a gold digger, in which case she is most certainly not wife potential. |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 6:57 PM Author: adventurous institution If they have wealthy parents they live in MFH, maybe with roommates.
Well educated chicks are not looking for lawyers in MFH. That's like going to Fuddruckers for the chicken sandwiches. |

Date: May 16th, 2012 7:05 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid A quick glance at the NY Times wedding announcements proves you wrong breh. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20705838) |

Edit: LOL go look at last weeks biglaw weddings and get back to me |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 7:35 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid So now one week allows you to draw a conclusion? A likely incorrect one at that as you looked at raw numbers instead of comparing lawyers to other occupations in terms of their numbers in the general population. Elite lawyers fare far better than bankers in the Times wedding game. See following:

|
Date: May 16th, 2012 7:40 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid I would tend to agree, but it's irrelevant to my retort to that moron's point about how well educated people don't marry lawyers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20706194) |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 8:29 PM Author: adventurous institution Lawyers marry other lawyers and that's it. Like I said, go look at last weeks NYT. Don't show me some article that says Cravath weddings are overrepresented. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20706617) |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 8:47 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid You have zero evidence to support that. You point to weeks worth of weddings, whereas I've cited an entire study on the topic. You obv. make a shitty lawyer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20706724) |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 8:52 PM Author: adventurous institution Your evidence doesn't say anything about who they are marrying. Just says they are represented well. And by the way is counting all of three law firms.
I point to the most recent issue of the new york times, I looked at the first two biglaw lawyer weddings I saw and that's what I got. They both married other lawyers. |
|
Date: May 17th, 2012 10:05 AM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid I never made an argument about the occupations of people they are marrying, you did. You also changed your argument from "well educated people in NY don't marry lawyers" to "lawyers only marry other lawyers", this is quite a contradiction, unless you want to argue lawyers are not well educated.
I simply said that they marry well educated people, and my evidence to back this up is the NY Times wedding announcements--you will generally not get printed unless both spouses are well educated/prestigious. |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 6:33 PM Author: adventurous institution Biglaw guys who move here with GFs from back home, college, law school have the right idea.
All the guys who come here without gf marry shrew teachers, asians, stuff like that.
Its usually pretty clear what's what when you see your biglaw bro's significant other. |

Date: May 16th, 2012 7:13 PM Author: Salmon queen of the night scourge upon the earth Very well, I'd expect. NYC has the largest ratio or single women to single men of any major city in the country. It's extremely easy to hook up. There is a very small subset of girls who can meaningfully distinguish between lawyers and finance types, of course girls can distinguish btw people making 160k a year and 1mm a year, but the people in finance making 500k+ are less than 2% of the male NYC population, and there are way more women then men.
That's not to say that most biglawyers won't fail horribly at dating in NYC, but it won't be because they're in biglaw. |
|
Date: May 16th, 2012 7:23 PM Author: shaky alpha This is correct. Doctors and lawyers are still at the top of the ladder in "who you want your daugther to marry". Average people won't know anything about PE and bankers have gotten a bum rap as of late. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1950135&forum_id=2#20706018) |
|
Date: May 17th, 2012 7:28 PM Author: Swashbuckling idiotic elastic band Doctors, yes, because people think they do society good.
But not lawyers. Most people despise lawyers. |
|
Date: May 18th, 2012 9:25 AM Author: shaky alpha Everybody "hates" lawyers until they need one, and they remain at the top of the list of who people want to associate with. Even in MFH, lawyers and doctors have by the far the easiest time with co-op boards and club memberships. Everyone "hates" bankers and traders too, yet most people don't seem to mind their kid bringing one home.
What people despise from a social utility perspective is not the same as what they want for themselves. HTH. |

Date: May 18th, 2012 1:00 PM Author: vivacious cowardly theatre hominid CR. Hate on a broad level /= hate on an individual level.
