Good looking lawyer

Are they cute?

No matter what you're advertising... SEX SELLS.

If I needed a barrister and had to rely on the visuals -- rather than a solid referral -- I'm fairly sure I'd go with someone who has a little bit of pride in how they present themselves. Active bodies almost often contain active minds. Most of the people I meet at the YMCA promote this kind of professional image -- be they young or old.

"Law cute."

Everyone has a picture on LinkedIn

Uh, no, everyone does not. Or perhaps you just mean everyone who is anyone does.

No, I mean the vast majority of those who utilize the site, particularly those in the legal profession.

In my LinkedIn connections, 95% of my contacts (I just took a quick look) have photos.

So when you say everyone you mean lawyers.

I and none of my contacts have pictures. But we are not among the "everyone".

We should go have cake I guess.

[Guinevere]

Half of the 95% of my connections with photos aren't lawyers. They even include some nurses.

You can eat cake or anything else you like. But please stop putting words in my mouth or ascribing intent that isn't and was never there.

Just took a look at my LinkedIn connections and about 86% had photos. Of the 14% without, half were lawyers and half were not. Kind of an interesting exercise.

I find the photos very helpful when I go to meetings and conferences so I can familiarize myself with who's who.

I'm really bad with names and putting faces to names. Don't know if seeing someones photo with their name would help that.

YOU wrote "everyone". That's not putting words in your mouth or on your screen, it's quoting you. I am attempting to see who you mean when you say, "everyone". I added the snark at no extra charge because you came across in a very elitist manner to me. Results may vary, and I know you are a better person than that.

I don't use a picture on linkedin, and my contacts are about 50/50.

[MajGenl.Meade]

I joined Linked-in quite a while ago. I don't know who my contacts are - only seem to get an almost endless list of people I know and semi-know. All requests to be added for the past 7 years have been ignored - 5 because I was in Africa and Linked-in didn't like my URL so wouldn't let me in anyway. The last 2 (I'm including the balance of this year) because I couldn't care less. But amongst the million people it seems to want me to scroll through, it does seem the majority have photos.

I'm not going to be saying any of them are good-looking, cute, attractive (except to other members of their species) and I keep my own photo blank because I don't want any more sexual harassment from beautiful women

However, it emerged yesterday that the award-winning human rights barrister has commented on pictures of men on Facebook herself to praise their looks.]

She also told female friends they looked ‘sexy’ and ‘stunning’ – the same word used by Mr Carter-Silk.

On the profile of a postgraduate student at Cambridge, where Miss Proudman is on sabbatical from her chambers to study for a PhD, she wrote: ‘Hot stuff!’, while under an image of a long-haired male friend, she wrote: ‘oooo lalala!’

Beneath photos from women, she was also happy to compliment their looks, saying to different friends: ‘Oh ladies, wowwweeeeee!!!!!!’, ‘wow! stunning!!!!’ and ‘Sexy lady!’

[TPFKA@W]

A different standard for female friends but I doubt she did herself any favors career wise with her rant. This stuff spreads like wildfire and there will be prospective employers put off by it.

[dales]

Is it kinda like MySpace?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Social media, an equal opportunity ass biter.

Live by the sword, die by the sword, as I often say.

"Everyone" was lazy-ass shorthand, I agree, and also incorrect. I explained more fully what I meant in my second post.

Posting your picture on linkedin is an invitation to be judged on your looks as her own flood of hypocritical comments about others' looks proves.


I don't have an opinion either way if wanting to be judged on your appearance is good or bad but her hypocrisy is stupid, shows an amazing lack of self-knowledge and is dishonest.

Are they cute?

Mine is. Most people, including lawyers, use the professional photo on their firm/business's website. Beats using your DMV mugshot

However, it emerged yesterday that the award-winning human rights barrister allegedly sent a 'deeply hurtful' message to her paternal grandmother in which she boasted of her own success and criticised her father's side of the family.

Miss Proudman had used her father's surname, Bailye, until August 2011, before changing it to her maternal grandmother's maiden name.

Family members say her feminism may have been spurred by her wealthy father leaving his estate to a cancer charity before he died when she was four years old.

Speaking about the friend request Miss Proudman received from her paternal grandmother, Barbara Bailye, which came around the time the barrister changed her name, one relative told The Times: 'Charlotte replied that she didn't want anything to do with the family, that none of us had achieved anything and we had never been there for her.'

The family member added: 'It was terrible and we couldn't believe that someone could be so unkind and inflict such pain.

'Her grandmother was a widow and she dwelled on the message for months. She would call us up in tears, asking what she had done wrong. She kept following Charlotte's progress on the internet, seeing how successful she was, but never got over that message.'

Mrs Bailye, who passed away aged 83 in January last year, always hoped she could reconcile with her granddaughter up until the day she died, the relative claimed. She left Miss Proudman the same share of her estate as her other grandchildren.
