    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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
