    So what you're saying is you aren't getting much action these days?

    Methinks you won't have to worry about being hit on too much.

    Try it this way, your boss is a married woman who is below-average looking and wants you to sleep with her and hits on your in front of co-workers.

    Think that would be flattering?
     
  3. Yes, absolutely.

    As for me not having to worry about being hit on too much, that's something that's true for 99.99 percent of males in our society.

    I don't want to be hit on when I'm working. It's not flattering. It's disrespectful. What's so difficult to understand about that?

    Try this, dude: Female sjs know that many people believe they got where they are because a certain chromasome, and the good ones spend entire careers trying not only to do a good job, but to prove that through hard work and ingenuity they deserve to be there. And every time they get an athlete's attention -- as opposed to some schlumpy male writer who may be as talented or moreso -- simply because they have breasts undermines that effort. If you've been in a big-time sports locker room in a gaggle of reporters and witnessed an athlete's acerbic tone with male reporters turn to fuzzy puppy tone with a female, you'd see that 1.) it can breed resentment among other writers and 2.) it is definitely uncomfortable.

    swnaj, you really need to let this go, because as long as you keep posting on this thread, you're going to continue getting blasted on this thread. No amount of explaining your motives is going to get you out of it.
