The more successful I've gotten the harder it is for me to sleep with girls. I' guess I'll just give them a fake name so they can't look me up, ditch the suits and downsize on the apartment. Ha
Right. Have to be careful with qualities that may make you unattainable.
Being a lawyer is high value. That immediately makes her think, "Oh. I'd better not mess up with him," and makes everything a much bigger deal.
When you then move fast and go for quick sex with her, there's a real risk of her feeling insulted - here she was, building you up to be some great potential boyfriend, and you just treated her like any old fling. Attainability goes down, and she enters auto-rejection.
Solutions are you can use
date compression (but then you risk bedding a lot of girls who all want to be your girlfriends / having to deal with the expectations and aftermath after), or you can be vague about what you do (preferably, talk about some art or hobby you have instead of your job; if you get pressed on what you do, "I work in a law office. They make me shuffle papers around," and if she really presses, give her a high attainability answer like, "Yes, I am a lawyer, but I haven't been doing it very long yet. So more like a lawyer-in-training, I guess." With last names, tell women you're not on social media, and they won't look you up.
Ideally, even if she digs up that you're a lawyer in conversation, it won't happen until later on, once she's already settled on you being a lover in her mind. The fact that now you have these cool boyfriend qualities is just an extra/intriguing bonus ("Hey... he didn't let me know he has this really high value stuff early on. I wonder what else he has going on that he hasn't let on about"), rather than a defining characteristic. This is, by the way, an almost stereotypical romantic/Byronic hero thing; the guy who starts off as a sexy wanderer, only for her to find out mid-passionate-romance that this guy actually owns a castle somewhere / is a prince / is a billionaire / etc.
The fake name thing, if you're not on social media most girls won't bother to ask for your last name. But if they do, can always just give them your middle name. If you're Shane Brian Smith, you'll tell them you're Shane Brian instead of Shane Smith.
And if they turn into girlfriends later, and they say, "Hey! You said your last name was 'Brian'!" you can just tell 'em, "How was I to know you weren't some crazy stalker chick? Gotta be careful in this day and age. I don't need some jilted lover running into the court room shrieking crazy things while I'm trying to give a deposition."
