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

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.

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

Counter-counterpoint: my coworker is obnoxious and is not attractive and I'm afraid I'm starting to develop Stockholm Syndrome from the amount of my life I spend having to listen to them die on anthills all day.

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 12 points 5 days ago

Hell if they're someone who not only can stand me but I can stand them, then we're already halfway there lol

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 13 points 5 days 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.

How I met my wife.

And how she met the guy she divorced me for.

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.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 39 points 6 days ago (1 children)

An interesting way to share your fart fetish with us

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh no, thats not my fetish, its too tame.

My coworker is also very attractive. We've been in various stages of relationship since highschool and were engaged before she got hired, however.

Edit: She would like the Internet to know that I woo'd her with compliments about her puke-green eyes.

Oh god. It went from threads to reddit to lemmy. I want to hurl.

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Threads is still relevant?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 41 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I mean it claims 12 k somethings.. that's probably more upvotes than total upvotes cast in a day on lemmy

As occasionally using Meta services, I have a feeling that they are by far in the dead internet, the bots outnumber humans.

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.

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 6 days 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

Isn’t that what they call an “office 8”?

[–] Lupus108@sh.itjust.works 51 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A friend recently said to me "you're at least a village 8.5". I'm still not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.

[–] Grizzlybur@piefed.ca 25 points 6 days ago

Depends… do you live in a village or the city?

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You must be REALLY close knowing their insides are attractive.

This explains why my wife-to-be showed any interest at all in me at first.

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.

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 4 days 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

OOP's statement still holds up for some of us who work alone.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

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 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.

My coworker IS attractive. My coworker is also my spouse.

[–] pocopene@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (3 children)

As the Sapnish saying goes "el roce hace el cariño", that roughly translates as "you get fond of the people you spend time with"
