If you have never given a thought about dating a lawyer, this post is going to come as a reminder that you might be missing out on something wonderful. Yes I know there are a whole lot of misconceptions about lawyers, but hey, you might want to check out these reasons why you might at least give a thought about dating a lawyer. So here we go:


1) You will be proud to introduce them as lawyers to your friends and family

Who wouldn't want to associate with the prestige and respect the legal profession commands? You wouldn't have to wait to be asked what he or she does; you will just have it rolling out of your mouth, though that’s not a guarantee of money rolling from them to your pocket. You will be proud to have a “learned” person as a date, and your family and friends will be so proud of you.


2) Dating a lawyer means you wouldn't have to pay for legal services

Now you've got all your legal issues addressed for free. You don’t have to pay any consultation fee of any sort. You will have free legal services all to yourself. Now that is something to think about, because legal services these days
are not that affordable as it used to be.

3) Lawyers are known to be good dressers

I know you wouldn't want to date folks who are horrible with their dressing. If that’s the case, then your chances of avoiding that could be reduced if you date a lawyer. Lawyers are generally known to be good dressers, probably because of the nature of the profession; where they are trained on how to dress.


4) Lawyers are known to be smart and intelligent

Wouldn't you want a partner you can make a good and intelligent conversation with? I bet you wouldn't want to be hanging around a mate who doesn't know the things happening around in their environment and can’t make intelligent conversation. Lawyers are known to have a wide source of knowledge of things happening around them in the society. Lawyers are also known to be avid readers, which exposes them to a lot of information. All these exposures, tend to make them more smart and intelligent than their mates.

5) Lawyers are good story tellers

We all long to hear good stories every once in a while. Lawyers by the nature of their training know how to tell stories. Also, the nature of their work also makes it easy for them to come up with stories to tell. I mean, they are always in the center of human interaction and conflict resolution, and so they get to know and see stuff. Wouldn't you want some good stories every now and then?


6) Lawyers are good talkers

Sometimes it can be sexy to be a good talker. You know you want to hang around people that you will be proud of when they open their mouth to talk. Lawyers are known to be good talkers, eloquent, and come off as intelligent when they talk. In fact, the greatest orators are known to be lawyers. So if you want to have such folks as a date, you better check out lawyers.


7) Lawyers will stand for you even if you are wrong

Wouldn't you want somebody who will stick out for you even if you are wrong? If that’s what you are looking for, then look no further, because you will find that in lawyers. Lawyers by their training don’t just give in to stuffs without putting up some fight. So, if you have a lawyer as a date, you are sure of having someone who will stand by you whether you are wrong or right. Now tell me if you wouldn't want that?

Assuming you have never given a thought about dating a lawyer, now is the time to do that.

Lawyers...

Hmmmm!!!!!

Nice points. But nothing compares to dating/marrying a female doctor. Its a heaven on earth experience. Your status and life will experience peace, pure love, happiness and affluence. See eight reasons why you must marry a female doctor
https://www.nairaland.com/2150947/top-eight-reasons-why-should

I'm a lawyer and proud to be one, but I never considered marrying a colleague, in fact I ran from the idea. Something about turning the house into a quotidian courtroom where the Barr. Mrs. becomes the aggressive Advocate, Judge and Executioner! A bad Ruling could involve lenghty adjournment from all bed matters.

Have you noticed the way spinster lawyers introduce themselves in court? The MISS is always muttered in a low tone, but the MRS. is pronounced rather loudly and with a peacockish pride. Some bad belle female judges even with a sadistic smile inquire loudly Miss or Mrs. should the spinster neglect to add the 'needful' appellation. I enjoy the courtroom drama shaaa. I only wish clients didn't think lawyers have this special place where we pluck money to survive

thrash. wat doors open if u call urself a barrister? charge and bail doors? lawyers who make big cash these days are those who studied in england, work in top ikoyi law firms and not u guys that attended all these jakande schools all over the place and graduate to do charge and bail

useless reasons

I dated two in the past...everyday na court proceedings.

You should totally date a Lawyer

lawyers will throw you in jail if you jilt them

2, 3 and 4 might not actually work for some lawyers. Some lawyers might be good in any other case than Property/estate issues, if you have a criminal case or more technical case that requires a 'field lawyer' then you might need to pay for the service or he/she pays on your behalf. 3, some lawyers appearance will harass and embarrass you that you will doubt their competence of bailing you in a police post. 4. I met a lawyer, he couldnt introduce himself properly: Quote me anywhere, i ll provide evidence...

I am not a good story teller and I suck at writing

missss:
8. They are usually Broke

I totally agree with u, only a few of them hit it big.

for your info y'all...i am a lawyer...

Friend, I know a lady colleague who has built a house in Surulere, bought three cars and is sending her kids to fantastic schools while practicing as a charge and bail lawyer Like my senior colleague said, charge and bail sometimes require intelligence and those guys are very friendly and familiar with the magistrate or judge or the registrars and they are so experienced in courtroom procedure. I even take lessons from them once in a while. The law like EVERY profession may not favour some, but it is not down to where they work, where they studied or what they do. What do you think Gani graduated with a First Class, Second Class or a Third Class. the answer will shock you!

Yh! Am happy to be a learned fellow. Tnx for bringing dis to d notice of d general public. Hehehhehehehehehe
*i only hate when am having a normal conversation wit ppl n they tink am arguing too much, the next phrase i hear 'is it because ure a lawyer.........' . I dont like it @all
