that is, if you're trying to pick up women, how do you avoid relating that your day to day work life is meaningless and boring? do you just lie and make it sound fun/interesting, or do you just act self-deprecating?

women don't want to hear about your work unless you're a professional athlete, entertainer, or adventurer of some kind. you just need to sound passionate or driven by something. that could be work, could also be something else. I usually have a project on the side that I am more excited about than my primary legal work, girls see my excitement about whatever that is and they tend to like that.

Same here. I try to take on an interesting sounding pro bono case per year for the same reason. Help a little old lady that someone is trying to scam out of money, do an innocence project case, etc. People will actually listen to you over this, they won't for typical discovery BS.

cr. pro bono cases are usually good to talk about if you just stick to the human interest story and leave out the law bullshit, especially criminal shit. everyone loves criminal shit.

My wife cannot stand more than 90 seconds of me talking about the substance of my work, so I usually either just tell her about ridiculous staffers or oddball partners or just don't talk about it at all. TBH it kind of sucks not to be able to talk about what you do all day with your wife, but otoh being married to a lawyer would be much worse.

My job is really exciting and immensely gratifying.

Her: "Oh really like what?"

Me: "Well this one time I had just worked 60 hours. On Saturday morning, mind you this is the day before Easter, I got an ASAP email from my partner saying that I had an emergency document production that needed my attention NOW. So needless to say I rushed to the office, worked straight through until Monday -- skyped my family on Sunday, and got the job done! That is just one story, I have about 52 other weekend stories like this."

Just be high level and embellish a little:

I"m working on this really complicated deal. These rich middle eastern guys want to pour billions into this fund run by these genius kids. Hopefully they'll fly me to Dubai but more likely just out to SF. But first we need the Shiek to sign off. Anyway, it's super complicated.
