1)if you were a somewhat successful professional (in this case, a lawyer) would you accept a date from someone whose career was, say, serving cappucino to you every morning? or what about a janitor, fast food worker, pizza delivery guy, etc?
If they were hot, why not?
2)if you later found out that this person only worked in this lowly position as a sort of hobby (i know, i know, it's a stretch), and actually OWNED the coffee shop (or whatevet), would you reconsider dating him/her?
Not quite as much of a stretch as you might think. A friend of mine worked at Crate & Barrel with a successful career guy who worked part time in retail just to meet people.
I'd be a bit more reluctant perhaps, because the appeal of dating a working slob whom you could woo with nice things would be gone.
3)if you found out that this person actually ranked HIGHER than you in your own profession, would you reconsider dating him/her?
Maybe, if they could get me a better job or connections.
4)so what if this person turned out to be bisexual? would you pursue a relationship or decide to cut it off before it even really starts?
That's the part of the episode that pissed me off. He labeled Ally a bigot, but she was right, since a bisexual prefers both sexes equally (or claims to), they could logically be considered to be more likely to be unfaithful than a heterosexual or homosexual. But whatever, Ally McBeal is liberal clap-trap, anyway. Unisex restroom, like that would work....puh-lease!
