How Attractive Are the People Around You?

[twotrue]

A coworker and I were commiserating after a lengthy meeting and we both commented on how (in general) unattractive our fellow colleagues are. Fully admitting that neither of us are models, we were still struck by the fact that there aren't many pretty around here.

Although I've said before that this geographic area in general is not cute.

On a scale of 1-10 how attractive is your work?

Well on this particular project, there are quite a few nice looking folks. So I am going with a 6.5 here. (if 10 is the best looking crew)

Well, if you're talking about the coworker I go home to every night (a.k.a. my wife), I'd have to say a 10! ;-)

The others, though, I dunno... guess I've never really looked!

Never really thought about it, but I guess we average about a 6 around here, with some being lower and some higher.

So who works somewhere with really hot people? Overall this place is probably average, however, I think as you move up the ranks the hotness starts to diminish.

I think a lot of the residents I work with are pretty hot (though really young!)

And I may or may not have a harmless crush on a co-worker.

As a SAHM, I'd have to say, we're all 10's around here!

I work with some really hot people. It's a gay-oriented nonprofit, so we have plenty of adorable 20-something gay boys who are well-manicured and really know how to dress. Our staff is also pretty young, mostly between 25-33 except for the very upper levels (and even they are cute!) so that helps too.

I should say that we live in a city that is known for attractive people in an area of a state that is pretty much famous for such, so it's not that surprising. I'm not sure how my workplace would rank compared to other local workplaces, but due to the demographics I'd say higher than most.

The dress code at my former job was referred to as "government frump." Need I say more?

I'd have to say around 7.5 or 8. Pretty high. Of course the first contributor to that number is the fact that there are like 5,000 people in my building so there is a lot of selection. Also, I work in corporate america so there is a big contingent of power women (h.o.t) and in the higher ranks (not me) it definitely matters how you present. Then, especially when looking at just my department, there is a very active college recruitment program for interns/assistants/entry level, so there are a bunch of these cute young little things running around. When thinking of my floor alone, there are solidly 6 or 7 really attractive people.

And, yes, I stick out like a sore thumb

Oh heavens to Betsy, you can't be serious! You are so beautiful!!!!

[bluedaisyus]

Meh, I'd say we're pretty average. There are some beautiful people here, and some...well, not so much.

aww, you guys are giving me WAY too much credit...but hell, I'll take it!

Well right now. Crazy hair Ella and frumpy Mama don't rank very high since I am on vacation for the summer. I would say we are a pretty average group. No hot lesbians for me at work right now but there are several very pretty young teachers. Unfortuanatly the stereotype of teachers as middle aged women in semi frumpy clothes holds pretty true here. Thankfully we don't have too many people in sweaters appliqued with apples though. There are some seriuosly hot high school teachers though. The high school varsity softball team practices at our school right now (their million dollar fields are not done yet) and the coaches are pretty lesbionic which made for some nice viewing out my window this spring.

Please note I was not looking at the players.
