While I have a girlfriend whom I love deeply, a man's mind can't help but wander. If I were single, I'd definitely date a woman who had a big firm job.
Some guys would find a big firm associate girlfriend emasculating but, for me, it would be the perfect woman: At Work All The Time + Lots of Money = Less Nagging + Can Afford a Maid to Pick Up After Me.
Here's how I imagine it going....
Russ: Wow, 11 pm? You're home late.
Big Law Girlfriend: Yeah, a statute of limitations was going to run and we had to decide whether we were going to file or let it run to reduce our own joint liability. I have to have a memo on the partner's desk by tomorrow morning, so I still have work to do.
Russ: I know what you mean. The TV was on the fritz, today, and I had to figure out if it was the cable or the TiVo box that was broken or I was going to miss a "Magnum PI" re-run...Don't worry. All I missed was the theme song.
But the real fun would be attending Big Firm social events with the Big Firm Girlfriend...
Big Firm Male Associate: Can't complain about the salary. I live in a big apartment down town.
Russ: So do I.
Big Firm Male Associate: And I make impulse purchases without looking at the price tag.
Russ: So do I.
Big Firm Male Associate: But, I have to work slavishly in a high pressure environment.
Russ: So did I...until my girlfriend bought an electric cat litter cleaners. Now my entire day is free.
What could have been.
