How about treat them like you would men? If it's not the sort of compliment you'd give to a man, then don't say it. Why do you find it hard to think of women as human beings? |

I am beyond devastated by the avalanche of visceral responses. Very few thoughtful responses. I am not a troll or whatever. I've had enough money for years that I haven't had a "real" job since the mid-90's but of course I've seen\heard of the metoo movement. Last "office" I worked at, I was doing 2 of the attorneys and 1 support staff. No I wasn't the boss of any of them. She doesn't work for me and it's just a place for me to go a few hours a couple times a week. Plus I've lived in the south until recently and most everybody seems more serious up here.
Based on so many comments that could've been relayed in a nicer way you've help push me over the edge and I'm headed back south. This northeast is so f'ing mean, so blunt, so acid...I hate everything about this part of the country...hate it. So I guess a thank you is in order. |
Dude DC is full of transplants and dcum is full of posters outside of DC. And anonymous. Do whatever you want of course but women everywhere will interpret that comment as being kind of creepy. Take it or leave it. |
That's a weird one. It's got a Rainman vibe. |
This. Why was that description needed? I can’t see how it has any bearing on your question. Like your comment MIGHT have been creepy if she had been prettier or curvier? But since she’s “hardly a stunner” the standard is different? Or her feelings about an inappropriate comment might be different? You have definitely outed yourself as a creep.

| Taking a quick look at the topics started by good ol' Sammy, big f'ing creep. Zero question. |
Sammy's an eccentric millionaire who works so he can stay in touch with the regular people! And he's got a nice vest! #awesome |
How to do that? |
| Bye, Sammy. Please do go back to the South. We Yankees will not miss you. |
At the bottom of his comments, you can click on profile and then topics that he started. |
| Just pretend it never happened. Business as usual. Carry on. Don’t try to explain etc it will get worse. Just don’t do it again. |
This. |

Your inner narrative SCREAMS creep, OP.
I don't see how you are not oozing creep in a shared office with a woman. Fix your body language, inner monologue, stop using words like tit, act professional, don't comment on clothes or bodies. Just don't, you have issues. |
| “Beyond devastated?” And that’s why you are compelled to tell us you were “doing” your office mates? WTF, dude. |
Thanks, just read his posts. ohh maaannnnn...don’t even know what to say. |
