Random Rants ΠΕ': You're standing on my neck.

[civvver]

Why would you feel guilty glancing in her direction? She's your coworker and she's part of your office, trying to pretend she doesn't exist will cause harm to her role as a member of your team.

I don't work on any projects with her. Of course I would never ignore her in a meeting, nor would I feel awkward interacting with her or working together. I guess I just feel guilty for thinking she's attractive from afar? For being attracted to people who aren't my spouse? I know it's just all in my head. Hard to explain. Of course before anyone does think I'm a sleaze I am 100% committed to my marriage and still find my wife very hot!

 

[MaryKB]

Would you still be committed to your marriage if you didn't find your wife "hot?"

I don't see any reason why you should feel guilty for acknowledging she's attractive. If she's pretty, she's pretty. I'd be more concerned about making her appearance the main thing about her, I find that far more troubling.

She's just a coworker who happens to be blessed with above-average looks. I really don't understand why you're so worried about this?

I can see where civver is coming from. Some people are so striking that you have a compulsion to keep looking. People don't like being stared at. And if you're a man, it can feel predatory.

It's beyond "They're pretty." and then just moving on. You just want to sit there and watch the sunset, except the sunset happens to be a person.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Just don't be an ass about it and it should be ok.

 

[JohannaK]

Casual glancing should be fine, as long as you don't just stare at her. I mean if she's there and you can't avoid it, you can't avoid it. Just dont make a show of it.

He could always snap a few pics and make them his desktop. Then he can just look at his screen all day....

I think that well passes the 'being an ass about it' part.

For the record, I appreciate what you did here

 

[Farm Boy]

Would probably work if it wasn't your coworker. Get tired of looking at it after, I dunno, a month or something.

Yeah I'm always torn on those but usually I always give them a like to express sympathy/solidarity whatever. Doesn't seem to offend anyone at least

 

[Takhisis]

You can remove them.
