I find the inverse true. I work at a place that has a few women I thought were very attractive. Now that I’ve worked with them for years, I’m over it
Jobs really crush the human spirit, don’t they? They are an evil, twisted perversion of what once was.
Actually there’s a woman at my company who I see about once a month. No idea what her name is or what building/team she works in. She’s one of the most attractive women I’ve ever seen. Like, I can count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen a woman that attractive in my whole life.
Speak for yourself. My bosses are all 50 plus year old perverts, so they’re only hiring incredibly attractive women.
Sometimes going into work sucks for me the way it might feel for a goblin sewer cleaner to walk out into the city.
Hi, one of your coworkers here 👋
We actually spend a lot of time talking behind your back about how hot you are
Yeah, They really should do something about their fever.
They are too cute to be sick.
This is so fucking stupid I can’t every single time I see it.
Every situation is different.
I’ve been married to a former coworker for 10 years. She’s incredible.
Generalizations are stupid
yeah, but ALSO - people often find themselves attracted to people they otherwise might not, after all those hours together. doesn’t take away from the fact that you found you a winner.
Lmao, imagine,
your spouse is not attractive, you are just within 10 feet of them over 40 hours a week
So goofy
If you can spend forty hours a week with them and still find them attractive they’re probably actually attractive both physically and at least somewhat as a person too
There is a severe lack of attractive coworkers these days. Terrible for morale.
That is why I know they are attractive, both inside and out.
You must be REALLY close knowing their insides are attractive.
What else to do during lunch break?
Vore?
Hey, I can be two things 😢
If I spend 40 hours a week with someone and still I’m attracted to them then they’re attractive and probably a nice person.
One of my coworkers is physically extremely attractive but to be honest I would quite like to have her beaten to death with a mallet. No amount of attractiveness can overcome her lazy petty vindictiveness.
In my experience, attractive people are used to get what they want because society subconsciously favors them. I’m not generalising as there are plenty of attractive people that are good human beings. But I think attractive people tend to be narcissistic than their non attractive counterparts.
Pretty privilege is definitely a thing and it’s everywhere
Imagine 10 feet around you :)
Almost seems backwards. If you’re spending that much time in close proximity to a person and you are finding them attractive, that would seem to be a good sign.
The point is that you shouldn’t feel that comfortable with your coworkers. People have lives outside their workplaces.
You should bond with people you spend lots of time with. You shouldn’t feel you have to date them just because you’re bonding with them over that time.
I find it interesting that a majority of the top comments assume the image is referring to a female coworker. The gender neutrality of it leaves much room for interpretation. I haven’t seen the latest Lemmy demographic stats, but this doesn’t exactly paint a balanced perspective.
My coworkers are almost entirely the same sex as me, and I’m not into it, so I never have this problem, but someone I follow on Facebook for reasons I can’t remember posted a private detective video of his wife cheating on him, and someone in the comments sympathized and said he and his wife had split after he discovered she was cheating with two of his employees of the business he owned. Talk about shitting where you eat.
Counterpoint: my place of business hired a person who was a regular customer that I found distressingly attractive, like “Oh no, that hot customer is back, okay don’t be weird, give them their space.”
Once I worked with them for a few months I found out they were a total space cadet. I didn’t suddenly find them un-attractive, but I definitely revised my estimation such that their presence was no longer a problem.
What’s a space cadet in this context?
Someone too focused on being an astronaut to pay any attention to the work that needs to be done at their normal job
You’re not entirely wrong. Any conversation with them would inevitably drift off into the weirdest tangents, and they would happily continue their side of the conversation, even if the person to whom they were speaking had to walk away or start doing another task. They weren’t bad at the job, but they weren’t great either, and they were consistently odd, and not in a fun quirky way.
You also get to walk away from your coworker and not think about them every day at the same time, which luxury is no longer available when you become a couple.
Until she quits and gets a better job. And he does the same.
Worked for us. :-)
