I had a conversation with a female friend of mine: she discovered that an older man (by about 20 years) has an office-crush on her, but he's never harassed her in any way or form -- he just thinks she an attractive woman. She explained that as long as it doesn't go beyond simple "appreciation" that it doesn't bother her.
I then pointed out (more so as a joke) that he probably thought about her during his alone time in the shower. She was a bit grossed out about the idea and revealed that she didn't even think of that possibility... which made me wonder if younger woman even realize the extent of a man's sexual deviance.
So, I wanted to ask the ladies of Eccie if they are aware of a universal truth when it comes to men, and what their thoughts are towards said truth:
If you are even marginally attractive in any way (most woman, tend to have at least one attractive quality), and you have male friends or co-workers --even if they've never hit on you or showed signs of wanting to sleep with you-- chances are, they've used you as spank material.
This is similar to the truth that if there is a man behind you: chances are, he's checked out your assets. Just the way it is.
Having said that:
1) Are you aware of this truth, or is it something that, for some reason, never really crosses your mind unless brought up in conversation or comes to light by someone like me pointing it out?
2) If you are fully aware of this; does it affect the way in which you view or interact with your male friends?
3) Do you refuse to accept this as truth and choose to believe you have male friends/co-workers (of the hetero variety) who never think of you that way -- that they're too sweet/respectful to ever think such things?
