    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.

    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.

    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.

    Counterpoint: your coworker is attractive and they don’t need to be a goddess among trolls to be worthy of interest.

    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

      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

      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.

    I wish. Couple of newly added women that are annoyingly attractive. I don’t work closely enough with them for the 10 ft thing to apply, but I work in a big city so these things happen. Still not gonna be a creep tho.

    Instructions unclear, dated attractive co-worker in 2007. She farted on our first date, loud enough to be heard over the music and loud drunks at a steakhouse.

    We’ve been married 17 years.

    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

    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.

        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.

    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.
