Its a circlejerk of the ‘I want to be a soft girl’ post on r/biglaw but from a man’s perspective.
My plan isn’t to stay in Biglaw. I’ve been in it for around a year, and I can honestly say, it doesn’t suit my personality. Working in an office and typing emails does not fit into the hard boy aesthetic I’m meant for. I realized this the other night when I had a dream about sending an email to a partner. I used to dream about hard boy things like motorcycles and sex (with women). My dream would be to limit my time working on soft boy things like editing documents to three days a week and then do hard boy things the rest of the time like working on muscle cars, woodworking and drinking copious amounts of whiskey. Is it even a thing to work three days a week as a lawyer? It’s not really about the money. I just want to be a hard boy again. I just want to be a soft girl
Stated on a post on r/biglaw, it got heavily meme-d due to unrealistic expectations and the description of “soft girl aesthetic”.
My plan isn’t to stay in BigLaw. I’ve been in it for around a year now, and I can honestly say, it doesn’t suit my personality. Staying up late and stressing over emails while I’m asleep does not fit into the soft girl aesthetic I’m meant for. This truly is just a garbage post, but my dream is to work 3 days a week, reasonable hours, and be able to pursue hobbies outside of work. Is it even a thing, being able to work 3 days as a lawyer? It’s not really about the money for me.
