Why I don't date co-workers. Tread carefully if you do.
Years ago, I made a policy: I will not date co-workers. I will not date any women at work, and I will not pursue any women at work. I was adamantly against inter office dating. But, now my tune is: As long as I'm not courting the women, and as long as I'm not being courted by women, I'm fine with what others do. Just leave me out of it.
If you're going to pursue a co-worker, tread carefully. For me to date a co-worker, she would have to bring FIVE times as much to the table, based on the risk I would be taking.
Imagine this: You're single, but looking. You're making $100,000 a year. You enjoy your job. You're well-respected by colleagues. You get great benefits. You get other nice perks. You have a nice office by the window, with a view. You like who you work with.
Then one day, there is this attractive young woman who comes to your company. You're immediately attracted to her. Let's say that she's not interested back in you, even though she's polite about it. Or, you find out she already had a boyfriend, or even a husband.
Suddenly, you hate your job, and you hate coming to work. You feel humiliated. You're angry. You're bitter. You, the respected man, now you feel so "small. " You have egg all over your face. Your ego and paranoia leads you to believe that she, and everybody else, is laughing at you, and making fun of you.
Meanwhile, let's look at what has Not changed: You're still making $100,000 a year. You still have that nice office, great benefits, great perks. Your colleagues who you enjoy working with, are still the same (despite your own paranoia, that they are laughing at you and judging you). And, your job Duties haven't changed a bit.
Yet, because of a courtship, that ended in rejection, you went from loving your job, and looking forward to going to work every day, to hating your job and office, and even having "fits of wanting to quit. ".
I won't tell you not to court co-workers. I'm just telling you to tread carefully, think it through, and look three or four steps ahead, just in case it doesn't go your way.

Fishing off the company pier
I know I will never make that mistake again. Still paying for it today.
Women at most workplaces are something else
I've heard women say this, about other women.
Date a co-worker, your business becomes everybody's business.
If you break up, it's always the man's fault, and he will be blamed in the gossip.
Women never guilty of workplace harassments
Forget the wrath of women if a man gets a woman in trouble for unwanted advances. He will incur the wrath of other men, just as bad! Such a double standard. Such enabling. That's why undesirable women continue to get away with this shit.
I hate the tramp stamp and any face tattoo
The tramp stamp pretty much tells me that that's what she is.
This girl I work with, who I call Halle (because she looks like Halle Berry), I was talking with her about tattoos one day. She is from Los Angeles, and her last two boyfriends were Chinese-American and Japanese-American. Therefore, she has a dragon tattoo on her side, lower back.
One day, at her desk, she nonchalantly offered to show it to me. Lifted the bottom of her shirt, and showed me her tattoo. That made me even less attracted to her, than I already was (or wasn't).
I might have done Goddess Kringen in 1996
Remember Goddess Kringen on Public Access?
I might have done her, back around 1996.
Anyone remember Crap Live, with Justin, on Public Access?
Omicron Variant. What Do Folks Think?
Wonder how folks feel about the Omicron variant. Myself, even though I am "tripley" vaccinated, I still have some concerns. One thing, though, is that I seem more and more restrictions on the horizon as this disease spreads, and it could be worse than last year. One thing I would like to see is for providers' prices to go down. Sure did not happen much at all after the Delta variant. But then there are these rookie high tech folks who continue to pay the ridiculous rates.
Are cat women really a different type?
I want sincere relevant responses, to the actual question.
I want to reiterate, I am not a dog person, but I have no ill will against dogs. I was 30 when I watched My Dog Skip, and I was crying even when Skip was having a hard time climbing on the bed. I cried my eyes out, after the movie ended.
I just don't like dog barks, dog slobber, poop bags, and dogs leaning out the window of cars and slobbering on my car. It breaks my heart to see dogs without homes, but I just don't want a dog myself.
I am on a real legit dating site. I tell the women, right from the get go, that I have only one major flaw as a human being, but it's a big one: I am not a dog person. I tell them that, I acknowledge that it eliminates me with a lot of great women.
I also list myself as being a cat lover, which I am. And, proud of it.
Cat women won't give me the time of day! There are women I Smile and Wink at, who are attractive, and not only do they not have to have a dog, but they have a cat! Yet, everyone of them closes me out.
That's not the biggest shock to me. Rather, so many dog women do not close me out! They read my profile, and yet they're still interested in me, to a degree. What is it? Is it "wanting something / somebody that you can't have?" I wonder if some dog women think, "I'll turn him around!" Or, "He'll love MY dog!
You figure, women who are cat lovers, find it so hard to find cat-loving men. Yet, I would love to settle down with them, have our human babies, and love our Fur Babies together, too. Yet, none of these cat women want anything to do with me.
You see, it would be easier for me to understand, if cat and dog women shoot me down, equally. Shouldn't the dog women shoot me down even more quickly?
What I'm asking all of you is, are cat women really of a different personality?
Is there even a chance, that these attractive cat-loving women, think that I'm lying about being a cat lover?
Into the hobby world, I saw a girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes, who initiated mutual rimming during our date. Her cat was in the living room. I told her that I love cats! She asked me, "Do you really like cats?" I said that I love cats! She said, "Do you really like cats?
Why are these cat-loving women so elusive, especially to a cat-loving man like me?
Equally, why don't these Dog women write me off at a higher rate? Why do they seem to hold out some sort of hope at some potential relationship with me?
