So now, the phrase “opposite sex” has been consigned to the trash heap?

It does appear to be on the way out, don't it?

[dfwgator]

Then again I work in IT, and attractive women in IT are few and far between... hell, women at all in IT are an overwhelming minority.

Ain't that the truth. And the few women are usually from India or China.

Hell that’s a recipe for divorce.

LOL - It certainly can be. My husband and I run a construction related business. Obviously I am surrounded by hunky men. My husband's presence is enough to remind me not to drool.

“ATTRACTIVE SEX” ?

is this an article that states the obvious being used to modify the language to imply homosexual affairs/relations as “normal”? seems so.

I’ve had several close friendships with the opposite sex in the workplace.

Just fear God, and act decently. What’s so difficult?

What if getting completely trashed is the only way to tolerate the people you work with?

time for a new job ...

Hahaha... well I was thinking of it from a different viewpoint.. I love my wife dearly, but the idea of being around her 24 hours a day 5 days a week.. Hell, we’d be at each other’s throats.

Thank you for your vulnerability. We *do* need to be on guard, even if we think we’re invulnerable.

Just don’t take her 127.0.0.1

Yeah, I read that the same way. “Opposite sex” would have affirmed normal male-female relationships, while “attractive sex” affirms homosexual relationships. Yuck.

"What’s so difficult?"

God bless ya, if you don't need to know. ;0)
