“Lawyer Personalities”?
___________
That can be a problem. I was a practicing attorney when I met my husband, and in my 30s. I had to make an concerted effort to focus on being kind, instead of being right. I still have to work on that, but I have softened up considerably.
It took me a long time to realize that men don’t want a verbal challenge at the end of a long day. They want a break, and some comfort. Women want that, too.
Another thing is that men often want a woman in their 20s. These women like Anne Couleter are “over the hill” and would be attractive to guys in their 50’s. However, they might not want an “old man”. An attorney friend of mine who was in her early 40s told me she didn’t want to meet the engineer that I wanted to introduce her to— because he was 51. Too old for her. Now she’s 50, and still single, of course.
That’s where the “cougar” comes into play...
