Counterpoint: your coworker is attractive and they don’t need to be a goddess among trolls to be worthy of interest.
Addendum: dining rooms and bathrooms are different rooms for a reason, don’t shit where you eat
Life’s to short
Your to is too short.
My to is remarkably average
Ok, don’t care.
😱 uh oh someone is “to cool”™ for ✨grammar✨ on social media 🏳️⚧️
Dude I’m not going to waste my time correcting one comment because some dork online goes and throws a hissy fit like you are right now. Grow up in a real sense.
I just thought the edgey snarkiness was silly. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have responded.
I’m too cool to fix a typo 😎 grow up dork
I think you mean it’s too long

What’s the wrong mistake that will Fuck up they’re lives forever, really I’m getting tired of this timidness from people.
Counter-counterpoint: any good person becomes attractive if you spend enough time with them
More of an addendum, but I totally agree.
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.
How I met my wife.
And how she met the guy she divorced me for.
Oof
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.
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.
Beautiful puke-green eyes.
I was boutta say put a ring on her but seems you were 17 years early to my idea
A love story for the ages but unironically.
Oh god. It went from threads to reddit to lemmy. I want to hurl.
Threads is still relevant?
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.
Sure, but… a top post in 6hrs here might be pushing 1k upvotes and 50 comments.
Let’s just be honest about how things are
If she ain’t on Threads, I’m not even wasting my time.
Lol, how else are we going to see it here if we don’t go to reddit on threads?
That…is the name of this community after all.
You’re in threads and reddit?
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.
What’s a space cadet in this context?
Someone too focused on being an astronaut to pay any attention to the work that needs to be done at their normal job
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.
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
Jobs really crush the human spirit, don’t they? They are an evil, twisted perversion of what once was.
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.
That is why I know they are attractive, both inside and out.
You must be REALLY close knowing their insides are attractive.
What else to do during lunch break?
Vore?
Eww, No. People are eating there you know.
Don’t insult my mom like that
Okay, fine, your mom is very attractive. She single?
Maybe… what are you intentions ?
A nice place to work.
You have a much better shot at his mom than finding a nice place to work.
That’s uncool to say, no matter how true it is.
Depends on the HR policy.
OOP’s statement still holds up for some of us who work alone.
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.
The point is that you shouldn’t feel that comfortable with your coworkers. People have lives outside their workplaces.
You should bond with people you spend lots of time with. You shouldn’t feel you have to date them just because you’re bonding with them over that time.
As the Sapnish saying goes “el roce hace el cariño”, that roughly translates as “you get fond of the people you spend time with”
Why is it in English then that familiarity breeds contempt?
It’s probably because of the English. Don’t get too close to them.
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.
Lmao, imagine,
your spouse is not attractive, you are just within 10 feet of them over 40 hours a week
So goofy
What if you thought they were hot as soon as you started? It has happened to me and I am pretty sure they were attractive.
