Okay am I the only one...

Who thinks it's rude to hit on someone's coworker and go on at length about how "hot" she is. Now I'll admit, this supe is not unattractive, not in the slightest, she has the whole, tiny, straightened dyed blonde hair thing going that so many guys seem to like. She's a sweet lady, a little bit on the ditzy side. And I understand that I'm not a tiny blond, but do I look like a guy? Do I look like I'm interested in girls? Seriously, asking me if I think she's hot will get you a death glare and a "I wouldn't know".

I guess it's because girls are more secure with themselves to say another girl is pretty. I'm straight and I'm not ashamed to admit if a girl is sexy, hot or whatever.

[Muses_nightmare]

I think it's just the way they ask. The tone of voice and whatnot, as if I'm one of the guys (I don't even know these guys' names most of the time!). And the fact that it happens all the time. It's annoying after awhile.

I fully admit when a girl is sexy, pretty, etc. But man, at work, when they're doing the she's hot *nudge nudge* thing to me, it's annoying. (not that they can nudge me, or touch me at all, but you get my drift I hope.)

[tinamarble88]

Yeah I see what you mean. I would hate that too. It's like "Don't you have any guy friends to tell this stuff too?"

[bainsidhe]

I'm not a pretty lil' thing. I freely admit this. Hell, it'd be pretty hard to convince anyone otherwise. But I also find it rather insulting when guys drool about coworkers to me as if I'm chopped liver and I don't have feelings. You don't consider me a catch, I got it. So piss off.

I think we need pictures. She might be hot enough that the guys are blind to anything else and for all you know after they talk to you they might stand near the water cooler and ask it the same question.

This is not unlike the classic scenario of women asking guys about other guys, basically being oblivious to the askee's existence as a guy, no matter how awesome the askee may, in fact, be. Having been That Guy, and having known many others of Those Guys, I know how much they HATE that. Pretty much as much as you hate these guys asking you about your female coworker.

Next time it happens, call out to her and say "Hey insert hot blonde coworker's name here, this guy thinks you're hot and he's hoping I'll tell you about it. So I'm telling you about, this guy thinks you're hot."

Do it really loudly. I bet it will not happen again.

OMG I totally did that at work to my coworker... (the guy she liked has since been fired), and then she did it right back to me... but the guy *I* like actually goes out of his way to talk to me.. and i don't think i'm that pretty and i *know* there are other women working at the airport that are prettier than me...

haha i was talkign to said other pretty women, and all of them were "creeped out" by the way he stared at them. I wasn't... then I found out he's a farmboy, and I know *exactly* where he's comin from lol

True enough. I'm sure it's happened to male coworkers too. Unless someone is devastatingly good looking I generally don't notice, and I really only notice if it's brought to my attention. :P I'm attracted to the more "my husband" shaped beings. I don't really pay attention to other guys. It sucks on either side of things either way.

Most of the time at work, I'm paying attention to people's hands, and not their faces too. It's a bad habit. There are also very few people who I look in the eyes, it makes me uncomfortable.

The sad thing is that they generally make it known, then tell me about it, or ask me. So I don't think embarassment would be the outcome of that unfortunatly.

[Red_Dazes]

...yeah... Just a bit offensive there.... Definitely keep up with the death glares... and if that doesn't work you can always threaten them by saying "You know... that could be considered sexual harassment.."

Nothing gets em going like harassment

Extra suck points if you've been assigned to that "just a friend" category.

Its the kiss of death, I tell ya.

If we were playing poker with those points as chips, I would have a bank that would make beating me at cards a very daunting task indeed. Beyond, of course, the daunting task that is playing cards with a magician in the first place.

There's a difference between a simple appreciation and a desire for a date to get to know the other person better.... and becoming a stalker.

and seriously... going on and on about how hot someone is?... just makes them look desperate.

and if they were confident they wouldn't need to try to bug you about her... they'd have the balls to invite her out on a date themselves and then drop it if she said no. (well confident and mature at least)
