Agreed. 
Ok.
What kind of protection? How does that work?
Condoms. It works by providing a physical barrier between the infected and non infected.
Good advice most times even if you aren’t a groupie!
This. Anyone who took my pronouncement literally (well, interpreting it as needing “protection” in an existential sense) must have rubber between their ears.
He should stop being the creepy guy at the gym and sign up for OK Cupid like everyone else. If he’s that busy that he can’t interact with people besides those he works with, he sounds like a real dud anyway.
Bolding mine.
And that’s not all. Maybe in an effort to be “fair”, he might overcompensate and not give her the opportunities that she might otherwise have gotten.
Which is why in such cases where there is a relationship between a supervisor and a subordinate it’s such a conflict of interest. And it’s unfair to all involved.
It applies beyond romantic relationships. It also applies to parent or sibling relationship.
I salute you for having the patience to find that.
Well, that’s … different.
Or it was a poorly delivered joke.
Oh, I don’t know, maybe it’s because he was male in this case?
And here you just used a demeaning diminutive.
I’m going to throw this out as a wild thought. Maybe the CEO should, um, do some work at work instead of trolling his employees for sex. I know a lot of people find relationships at work, but I prefer to actually do my work and have a lot of separation between my work life and my private life. But that’s just me.
Well, there’s always arranged marriage, isn’t there? (Note: this is not completely sarcastic . I’m quite a fan of matchmaker introduction marriage) If he wants a relationship, he has to make time to find someone outside of his power structure rather than sexually victimizing lower-ranking employees.
You seem to be assuming the only thing that would be attractive about these men are their wealth and social position. The truth someone “at the top” would have a much better chance getting a partner who truly cares about them rather than just someone who wants to use them by approaching someone at the gym, bar, religious institution. etc.
Some assumptions above I want to dispell:
- Seeking a relationship does not, and I would even say usually does not, equate to trolling for sex.
- Work relationships with a power differential are not necessarily, and I bet are usually not, exploitative.
Everyone is restricting the possibilities of people to start relationships because of the behavior of a few bad apples. I think the restricted situation is particularly bad for heterosexual males. As a broad generalization, women are not significantly attracted to things about a guy they can discern from just looking at him, or a few brief interactions. They need to see him in extended and multiple social interactions with various groups of people. For a busy male executive, work is the only environment he is observable in this manner. And if he is doing well in his career, he will be high rank, which will prevent him from starting a relationship with most of the women in that environment if we follow the suggested restrictions
I’m now sitting here crying bitter tears over the plight of rich straight men who can’t get a date. I bemoan his fate as a man with so little free time that he can’t meet women (but somehow will have time for a relationship). Maybe he can use some of his cash for escorts and let his employees actually do their work.
Do you actually know any busy executives?
You are saying he should date women who know nothing about him except that he is rich? Or hire escorts? Your solution to one unlikely problem creates a whole set of other problems. He could have time for a relationship, but not enough time to join enough clubs or whatever you want him to do, to be seen enough in a seperate environment from work to find a good relationship.
