Ladies, every man you work with thinks you want to sleep with him

Nah, only the hootchie mamas who wear micro miniskirts to the office think that.

[formosa]

I call BS. Sounds like a bunch of hard core feminists, who no man would ever desire, did this study. If there was any truth to this, there would be many more affairs and sleazy behavior at work than we see.

There’s a difference between harboring thoughts vs. acting thereon.

This article is an insight into the minds of the gullible.

Yes, of course, every many is checking out the old women, the fat women, the women lacking teeth, etc. And, of course, he thinks every granny that looks at him wants to sleep with him.

This is journalism by the stupid for the stupid based on social “science” by people with an agenda.

Ha ha—good find!

Followup studies will discover the location of bear defecation and the religion of His Holiness Benedict XVI.

I really want to sleep with the 5’-2” 250# ‘ers that waddle around my workplace.

[freedommom]

If men are such pigs, then who are all these men sleeping with?

google Narcissistic personality disorder...

they love to have many conquests and they have a high need to be told they are wonderful..

“In my opinion and experience, women in the workplace are every bit as likely as men to make assumptions about the interest of co-workers in them.”

I think this is closer to the truth of the matter. Studies are worthless.

I don’t know what else you call 20 and 30 year olds who have not emerged from their parents basements. Adult just doesn’t seem to fit.

I think a woman offering to pay for things is most often an intentional indicator of not being romantically interested—and so not becoming indebted or open to accusations of leading a man on.

No problem here that can’t be solved by a few new Federal agencies and a hundred thousand pages regulations.

I have worked with and for women over the years. Perhaps one or two might have had some interest in me. I will admit to having found one or two attractive, but never acted on that because I’m quite married, as well as simple self-preservation at work - meaning not wanting to make the workplace hostile for myself because of my own actions.

Perhaps they only conducted the survey at Peyton Place? LOL

The way female friends interact with each other (hugging, doing nice things for one another, intense personal conversations) was natural for me. When I started making friends with the guys, I treated them the way I would a good female friend. I NEVER thought that these idiots would see it as flirting. (Alright - *I* was the idiot.) They knew I was happily married. I thought that my ring was all the clarity that I needed.

Uh, no. Obviously, I wasn’t there, but you definitely don’t want to mistake a male friend for a female friend. If what you say is so, then....these guys probably thought you were leading them on. Most men (including me) assume that a woman knows exactly what she is doing. And, while there may be exceptions, that rule is usually spot-on. Even knowing this, too many men have all the self control of a dog looking at a steak.

[Heart of Georgia]

“Men are pigs.”

Not just men. I can’t repeat here the things I’ve heard come out of the mouths of some women, not to mention actions.

[trailhkr1]

I work with 12-15 very attractive women at work..I would have sex with most of them(single ones) in a minute.

The only thing that holds me back:

1. I have a GF who I love...so won't even consider it

2. Afraid of getting caught and losing my job. A upper level manager was caught with a female co worker last year..both in their 50's and both were canned. I know there have been other romances started at work and progress into full time relationships among my coworkers.

Women and men CANNOT be close friends w/o the male in the back of his head wanting to get in her pants if she is remotely attractive.

All 3 of my long term gf's started out as good friends and turned into more...never have I progressed into a relationship from a date with a stranger. Men and women together as very close friends will always lead to love or a disapointment with one of them.

Yeah, I should have been more clear. What you say is true, when they pay for their OWN stuff. When they offer to pay for YOURS, then its a sign. It’s an important distinction. Honestly, I’ve seen this over and over again.

[Mr Rogers]

Absolute nonsense. A pretty girl is a pretty girl, and a fat chick is a fat chick. Most female co-workers I had were not pretty girls...

I suspect the feeling (or lack thereof) was mostly mutual.
