Imagine 10 feet around you :)

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.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] TheDeadInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I set my standards low so I'm never disappointed.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

last one i thought was hot was actually in a different department separated from me by an eight inch thick cinder block wall with one door in/out at least 100 feet away and no reason for her to be in my department for anything.

[–] Toga77@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

Lmao, imagine,

your spouse is not attractive, you are just within 10 feet of them over 40 hours a week

So goofy

[–] Whirling_Ashandarei@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 74 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Pretty privilege is definitely a thing and it's everywhere

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago

Lies, lies, lies. I'm gonna ask her out and she how my life will end. Rejected and fired for sexual harassment? Or blackmailed after the first hot night? /joke

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 204 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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

[–] plutopos@lemmy.zip 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Counter-counterpoint: any good person becomes attractive if you spend enough time with them

Addendum: dining rooms and bathrooms are different rooms for a reason, don't shit where you eat

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 26 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I think this advice only applies to idiots. I've been dating coworkers for years and it's never once screwed me. My fiance is a former coworker. As long as you both understand the risks and are decent to someone after a break up, you really shouldn't have a problem.

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.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 75 points 1 day ago (3 children)

How I met my wife.

And how she met the guy she divorced me for.

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that's a roller coaster of emotions

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I want to get off Mr Bones Wild ride.

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

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

Jobs really crush the human spirit, don't they? They are an evil, twisted perversion of what once was.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is why I know they are attractive, both inside and out.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You must be REALLY close knowing their insides are attractive.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

What else to do during lunch break?

There is a severe lack of attractive coworkers these days. Terrible for morale.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mech@feddit.org 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What's a space cadet in this context?

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Someone too focused on being an astronaut to pay any attention to the work that needs to be done at their normal job

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 79 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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.

[–] EvasiveSpecies@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

A love story for the ages but unironically.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 23 hours ago

I was boutta say put a ring on her but seems you were 17 years early to my idea

[–] Damage@feddit.it 37 points 1 day ago (2 children)

An interesting way to share your fart fetish with us

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.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hi, one of your coworkers here 👋

We actually spend a lot of time talking behind your back about how hot you are
