Men, do you know or suspect you have gotten career or financial gain due to a woman's attraction for you?

There are more women managers these days, and a few more men who are open as to their homosexuality.

I suspect I have.

Do you think that other persons in the workplace suspected?

Do you judge rumors about women capitalizing on this differently based on your experience?

No. No, I don’t.

I have had 3 female managers, and I think all 3 liked and respected me, but there was no gain that wasn’t earned. I never saw any of them capitalizing on the power they may have had.
I find female managers much easier to work with. They deal with stress much better (at least the ones I worked for).

No such luck…. I’m an engineer and never had a woman manager.

Pretty much what @filmfann said. I’ve had numerous female bosses over the years (in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and ages), and while some liked me personally (for sure), what they really liked is that I made them money.

@cprevite, @filmfann do you think women who are attractive and have male bosses think the same thing?

cookieman's avatar

Why do you assume I’m attractive?

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

I cannot respond to that without cracking a joke.

cookieman's avatar

I’m okay with jokes.

^I think he’s attractive.

^^I assumed he worked in braille printing.

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought: Hah. See, that was funny.

@chyna: Aww, thank you my dear. Your easy on the eyes yourself.

A woman? Being attracted to me? Nonsense!

I have had female bosses. They paid me very little. My male bosses paid me a lot more. I did get a lot of sex at the first place I worked after college, but that had nothing to do with the bosses and everything to do with a randy bunch of recent college grads living in NYC.

I have never experienced this in my career through many managers/directors/VP’s

I would lose complete respect for a superior if I thought or felt that.

It is a place of work and your career, so why even begin to think like that.
Never shit where you eat.
