Myths About Dating Professionals

There are definitely some perks and benefits to dating professionals like doctors, lawyers, and corporate executives. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of untrue rumors about how their relationships turn out. Most of these rumors are untrue, and often put a wrench in the romantic plans of these wonderful people who are just looking for some love. Here are four of those rumors and the real truth about them.

Professionals never have any time off.

This myth isn’t exclusive to professionals like doctors and lawyers, as it extends to everyone who’s working. However, the idea that successful people are always busy is simply not true. Even though they often have tight schedules, they are still able to manipulate their time to spend it with the ones they love. 

The truth is that no one can enjoy life without taking some time off. You’ll know this if you ever had to work overtime a few days in a row. Since we know that professionals are really not superhumans, it’s unreasonable to actually believe they work like that. Even if the person you want to date has an incredibly busy schedule, they can always move things around in their schedule to create time for you.

They are unpleasant to be around.

We can blame Hollywood for this particular myth. The image of successful career people has always been generously mixed with sleazy and jerky characteristics like pride, horrible manners, and superiority complexes.

You should leave these misconceptions in the movies because that’s where they belong. Most career people are just like everyone else, and they often don’t let their ambitious aspirations get in the way of good interpersonal relationships. If you’ve been avoiding interracial dating or any other kinds of dating for these reasons, it’s time to reevaluate your position because this one is simply not true!

You’ll never need outside consultation.

Have you ever heard people say, “If you date a doctor, then you’ll never have to worry about being sick again?” While it’s true that your doctor partner can offer you plenty of treatment and care when you fall sick, they aren’t mobile hospitals.

There are situations where you’ll have to go to the hospital. The same thing applies if you date a lawyer – you’re not going to suddenly never need a lawyer again. In fact, it’s often ill-advised for your lawyer partner to represent you because it constitutes a conflict of interest.

They will love their careers more than they love you.

This myth often comes from the common misconception that you can only love one thing completely, and that the other will suffer. But then, if you grew up with siblings, then you’d know this isn’t true since your parents were able to love you all equally (at least for the most part). Even so, several thousands of professionals have very healthy relationships while maintaining ambitious careers. It’s all about whether or not the person actually loves you, and how badly they want to be with you.
