FabSwingers.com forum: Why are solicitors so unpopular?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I try to be as open as I can on my profile also when I send an opening message on here, I let people know what I do for a living i.e. I'm a solicitor.

I have had some extremely negative comments and some downright unpleasant replies.

I'd like to think I'm not so out of touch with the general public's perception of the legal profession but I'm beginning to doubt myself!

There's no reason to tell anyone what you do for a living, unless you think it will help you to pull.

Seeing as you've found that it doesn't help you, I'd have thought you'd try another approach

I think it's because we only need a solicitor when we are either in trouble or forced to use one when our life is changing, so a solicitor is associated with a bad time, and expense.

A bit like a traffic warden, although they have the advantage of a uniform.

It is unwise to mention your job on a sex site, remember lots of people are married and cheating, so mentioning the fact you are a solicitor, possibly wont help your cause, also according to other threads you are just about surviving on low pay and work very long hours, not an ideal date

The Town by The Cross

The Madam opened the brothel door in New Orleans and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.

—”May I help you sir”’ she asked.

—”I want to see Valerie, please,” the man replied.

—”Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else”, said the Madam.

—”No, Ma’am, I must see Valerie,” he replied with determination.

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man. She charged $5,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars from his wallet and gave them to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man left calmly.

The next evening, the well-dressed man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row, as she was too expensive. There were no discounts. The price was still $5,000.

Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs.

After their session, Valerie said to the distinguished customer, “No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?”

—The man replied, “Wichita, Kansas”.

—”Really”, she said. “I have family in Wichita.”

—”I know.” the man said. “Your sister died, and I am her attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.”

The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain:

Following on from Granny, i prefer this one :

A coach load of Lawyers on their way to a conference crash into a farmer's property.

By the time the Police have got there the farmer has had his JCB out and buried them all.

"Weren't there are survivors at all" asked the Police.

"Well, some of them said they were alive but you know what lying cunts they are, so i buried them".

See the Barristers thread.

Basically, you are allowed to earn but not too much and it does you no good at all to be so uppity as to qualify in your profession.

Save what you do for when you start to communicate if you feel the need to tell.

Or you could see the case of the Barrister sentenced to and actually serving time for Perverting the Course of Justice. Released early due to being "not fit" to serve time, yet practising again within the week.

One would think that the man, or woman, or BLGT, on the Clapham Omnibus would agree that he should've been barred from his profession for life.

One would think so but apparently not.

Heaven and hell are actually side by side, separated by a fence. One day god is walking along the fence as says to the devil that the fence needs repairing, the devil refuses saying its Gods fence. After trying to discuss this sensibly God has no other option than to say "I'll get a Solicitor" and the devil responds "where are YOU going to find a solicitor!"

A party of Lawyers are out on a "shoot" and one of them takes aim, fires and downs a Duck.

As he climbs over the fence, he hears the farmer say, "You're Trespassing on my property"

The Lawyer explains the situation that he's only trying to recover the duck he shot. "But that ducks residing on my property so it's my duck now", says the Farmer.

"Look here" says the lawyer "I'm a famous QC at the High Court and if you don't let me have my duck i'll have no recourse but to sue you for it."

"Now, now " says the farmer, "we don't need to do that, around here we have a much simpler process for resolving disputes"

"What's that then" says the Lawyer.

"Well, when it's man to man we each take turns at kicking the other in the nuts and continue till it's last man standing"

"Okay, i'm up for that" says the Lawyer.

"Okay, but it's my land so i get to go first, brace yourself". At which point he takes a step back, deep breath and then with all his strength aims a huge kick at the lawyers nuts.

The lawyer instantly drops, gasping for breath, seeing double and after some while writhing around in agoy, he eventually staggers to his feet, regains his breath and finally says "Okay, it's my turn now, YOU brace yourself."

"Nah" says the farmer "You win, it's only a duck."

Haven't a clue, but the OP did seemingly ask why his profession is not held in high regard by the general public. The case mentionned gives an insight.

I think the law in England changed in 2013 so people can sell without a solicitor.

Maybe one of our resident solicitors can advise.

Barristers and solicitors are not the same. And as others have said, don't tell people your profession, it's the same with other professions of peoiple that are on here. They are just frowned upon. xx

As you’re a Solicitor I thought that you would appreciate some insightful and intellectual feedback on your question!!

You tell people you’re a Solicitor because you are a show off, show off, pick your nose and blow off!!

Every time we have needed to deal with solicitors we have had the strong impression that the process was entirely for their benefit but at our expense.

Always feel like I have been mugged and expected to say thank you for the experience.

Best bit is the only way to avoid solicitors having a lot of input in your life is to use one to get your affairs tied down.

Would suggest that the OP claims to be a professional granny batterer, they are usually more popular

The problem solicitors face is that their work tends to be of a non recurring nature and often a one off job for a client that they may not act for again - hence they tend to make hay while the sun shines and maximise their charges

Why do you feel the need to tell people what you do for a living? Especially in your first message.

If you sent me a first message saying you are a solicitor I would wonder if you are bragging. I would also wonder if that is your way of telling me you have money.

As a solicitor I am staggered you don't know why people have such a low opinion of solicitors.
