Attraction between Friends of Opposite Sexes
from a social sciense study published in Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.
If men are such pigs, then who are all these men sleeping with?
Looking at the pickings in our so-called culture today, I’d say these findings explain why so many men just stay on unemployment or disability and sit around all day playing video games and watching porn in their parents’ basement.
“Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself” - gazing out at the used car lot of available offerings, for most men this means celibacy, or ought to.
This study seems very flawed. I work with a number of women and I don’t think one of them wants to sleep with me. In fact, over my career, I can only think of a handful of times when I thought a female co-worker was putting off signs that she wanted to have a more involved relationship (which I never pursued for all the legal problems that can come from something like that).
I actually have experienced the opposite in one organization where I worked — a woman who slept with at least two of our male co-workers.
Men are pigs. I have told my daughters this fact. All men, of any age, no matter who they are have some of that pig inside. It is something as natural as breathing, but we men learn to live with it. As long as the thought police don’t arrest us there will be thoughts of sex flying into and out of mens minds on a regular basis. Even Jimmy Carter (not someone I usually agree with) admitted to lusting in his heart.
Imagine if the study reversed the genders. I am 100% sure people like this Forbes author would be up in arms. But since this supposed study makes men look bad then it can be proclaimed from the rooftops. The entire premise of the Forbes article is false. It makes the mistake of taking a study about friendships and putting into the context of a working environment.
I think want to or think about is way more accurate than trying to.
Nah, only the hootchie mamas who wear micro miniskirts to the office think that.
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.
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.
No problem here that can’t be solved by a few new Federal agencies and a hundred thousand pages regulations.
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.
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.
Wrong. Not even remotely tempted. Have the greatest hubby in the world and would never want anything else. This “study” is just another proof of the sad state of morality and self control in our culture.

no worries ladies... if you’re a liberal, not only do i not want to sleep with you... i find you repugnant and disease ridden who is wholly unable to be trusted and willing to abort any child without informing the father
liberals
disgust
me
I was once a manager in an industry where the workforce was 85% female, and I must say I never suffered from this delusion (though I did meet my wife there)
