Lawyer chick: Any input?

Recently a law student has been showing tremendous interest in me. She is 25 and I am 37. But age is not an issue here. What I find in her (or other lawyers, for that reason) is that she is extremely domineering, argumentative and never feels that she could be wrong. In other words, power/control is deeply inherent in her.

At one end, I feel like giving her a chance but realizing these attributes kind of dampens the whole thing. This chick could be (and in many ways is) a good mind player. Probably she inherits it from the intended profession.

Has anyone dealt with lawyer chick(s)? What advice would you give? I won't mind banging her but this could involve a little more startegy due to her b!tchiness.

I went to law school and dated a law student chick who was about the same age as the one you're talking about. She was the same sort of domineering and argumentative type of chick. It wasn't that she loved to "debate" per se, or even discuss issues: As far as she was concerned she was always right and I was an ass. She was very, very insecure.

On the positive side, she was a sex fiend, but that was all she offered. She was stuck up, didn't like my friends (and my friends are the coolest and most accepting and forgiving people you could ever hope to meet), looked down on everybody who wasn't from her social strata... she was just a b!tch. If I ever said anything halfway intelligent she would try claiming that I was trying to "show her up intellectually". By the end of the seven month relationship I respected her so little that I actually cheated on her (the only time I've ever done that), and I ended up dumping her via voicemail.

Law school is like going back to middle school, swear to God. It's worse than high school. There are clicks of "cool" people who think that what they do in life is "so important", everybody thinks they're brilliant, and nobody even tries to politely smile at you as you pass them in the halls.

She's not going to suddenly turn into a sweet little girl once you start going out with her. Date her until she gets annoying, then dump her. You're too old to have to be putting up with the crap a girl her age will give you.

God, isn't this the truth! Except there are no "cool" people in law school.... "cool" implies effortlessness, while the self-proclaimed "cool" people in law school try much, much, too hard.

I have maybe 3 people I consider friends from law school, the rest of my friends I made outside the law school environment.

You have no idea how glad I am to be done!

Good point... "cool" people don't try as hard... maybe "drama people" is more accurate. I could only went halfway through it before I decided I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with those sort of people. Quitting was the best decision I ever made.
