It is easier to go on dating websites to find a mate or a hookup, and it is low risk. So instead of cultivating relationship the old fashioned way, we swipe right or whatever. It is low risk because at least you know that the woman on the other end is also looking.... the traditional places where we found mates were at work or at the bar... now both of those places are minefields that will cripple you for life as surely as if you had both legs blown off

I dont talk to women at work unless there's a witness... even with the ones I trust -

I don't tell jokes... and I like to think I'm a funny guy and could share that with people. But no - I am completely shut off emotionally from my subordinates and my peers. We are strictly professional and quite frankly that is a miserable work existence - I used to think it would be nice to build boats or something for a living. Now I find myself wishing I could go back in time and actually make that career choice

Nobody knows how to interact with anyone anymore. And there's certainly a backlash coming - people are going to one day realize that their harrassment-free world is a joy-free world and they are going to wonder how the fvck they got there
It was going on before the internet. Came home at midnight from my job at the munitions factory early, back in the 80s, because I decided not to stop for a beer with the crew.

She hangs up and says to me: "you're supposed to be at the Flight 148 with a blonde crawling all over you..".

My job? QA supervisor. My subordinates? 18 women. Took my office door off its hinges the next day. Worst job I ever had.

Hold up bro. Weren't you one of those on here flipping me shit when I said I refused to meet with any of my female subordinates with my office door closed?

Oh and let me clarify for you: what you experienced wasn't "viral". There's penicillin for that.

MrsCCU, who used to work in production for a woman's clothing company, told me the difference between the $1000 pair of denim and the $1200 distressed version - about 10 minutes of someone cutting/burning/sanding the denim to look a certain way. :ohno:
There are better ways for women to wear out their jeans knees...... :coffee: ;)

That has always been my policy with every woman. Learned that lesson when I was 12, visiting my father in Cincinnati. I had only been there for two days when a cop knocked on the door with a little black girl with him. He said, "is this one of the boys that raped you?". She replied, "yes".

I asked when and the cop said two weeks ago I got my airplane ticket and showed him how that was impossible.

Valuable life lesson.

I don't think so.

I don't have a problem with a female boss but supervising women is earning your pay.

I had a similar situation supervising women. Never had the door closed when meeting with them. I am sure glad I am retired and out of that game.. it is too easy to get burned now, even when innocent.

If I had gotten half the pussy I was accused of getting I would have died of heart failure within a month. I'd much prefer a female boss to female subordinates.
