It depends on who else is showing up. There are some fairly attractive folks in our building.
Over the years, my brother has worked with a lot of guys from India, and they’re always surprised that this doesn’t really happen; according to what they’ve seen in American movies and TV, it does. :o
I imagine the high-fives and whooping when they get the news they’re going to orgy-land.
New York Post: “It’s a broad probe,” said one official.
I’m the one who would go to India and suddenly start singing in the middle of a serious situation, not knowing they don’t really do that. Random singing is very underrated - Bollywood wins over real life on that one.
Quoting from Bollywood songs and dialogue and some shoulder-waggling isn’t unheard of in casual conversation
Oh, answering the question: No, I wouldn’t attend the party. I don’t think many others where I work would either. I can think of one person who might under the right circumstances, but the right circumstances for him are difficult to fulfill.
This 100%. Has worked for 30+ years. There HAVE been a few issues in my workplaces and this behavior has kept me out of it.
I don’t do team-building unless I’m being paid for my time.
25 years ago that would of been a fun Friday night ………
A lot of them come here half expecting to see people openly doing drugs in public, having sex in public, etc. and they want to know when and where that happens. IDK, Sunset Strip, I guess, or maybe a neighborhood where they REALLY don’t want to go.
I’ve heard of men in the Middle East and South Asia blatantly asking Western men to lend them their wives/girlfriends for the night. They weren’t virgins when you met them, so surely you don’t care if they sleep with me.
:eek:
I go to a meetup with two Caucasian sisters whose retired father is involved with a refugee resettlement agency in this town. One of them has twice posted on Facebook that her father was asked by African immigrants if he had any daughters, because they were looking for a white girlfriend. The dad replied, “My daughters are both married, and they wouldn’t be interested in you anyway.” The first time it happened, he added, “Wait, aren’t you married? What would your wife think about this?” They answered, “Where we come from, what our wives think doesn’t matter.” That was a whole new concept to all of them.
p.s. So, how would those foreign men “know” that the Western women weren’t virgins when they met their husbands?
I’m self-employed, so not much going on. But from the last normal full-time job I had about 20 years ago (shit has it been that long?) yeah, sure, I’m in. But it was a situation where pretty much everyone hooked up with a co-worker, anyway. Oh, to be in my 20s living in a foreign country again!
I suppose so if it falls under “other duties as required.”
If I were still working, the answer is no. No, no, no, no, NO! There are just some things I don’t want to know about some people.
Very unwise. Just ask my ex-wife.
Not everyone has an office like you.

They might have asked earlier. The conversation might have been along the lines of “I can’t understand how you could be serious about a woman who has been had by other men before you.”
-
They might have assumed, because “everyone knows” that white women are promiscuous. That’s why offices have sex parties all the time.
I work at home. My coworkers are all cats. So…no. That would be even weirder than usual.
Some of them are certainly taught by clergy about “those evil Westerners/Christians/Americans and the immoral things they believe in”.
