do TV cameramen have relationships/affairs with news reporters?

I've been in journalism for 30 plus years and have never considered a relationship with a cameraman or photographer and can only think of one such relationship, in which case the photographer was the female, the reporter male.

Sounds like a lot of projection and insecurity here. Perhaps a cameraman has bagged your wife and taken care of her where you cant?

She is worried her BF is spending more time with the reporter than her, which I suppose is true since they work together all day. The opportunity is certainly there. And he's known and worked with the woman much longer than he's dated her, so they're already very close.

On the other hand, I think the reporter would have higher standards, and could do better than a cameraman. But I don't know, that's just a guess.

A way to help your housemate is to remind them that all men are now cameramen in that they have a camera on them at nearly (lol!) all times in the form of their phone. So when she sees the cameraman as being All That and More with A Cherry on Top and Three Scoops for Extra Credit, he really is not as ALl men are cameramen when you get down to it. OP, have you tried this approach? She may not be seeing the forest for the trees as they used to say and some still say.

Your "friend" has nothing to worry about, if the dynamic is anything like what I see here and amongst other colleagues.

Don't get me wrong; my cameraman does have a crush on me. It's really cute. He has a sweet wife who just never lost the baby weight from DC1 before she got pregnant with DC2. You know how it is if you're not disciplined.

But there's no chance anything can happen because I can do so much better. I'm guessing the same is true for your friend's boyfriend's reporter. We get offers from doctors, executives, and (in major league markets) pro athletes. Not to FWBs and flings with personal trainers, maybe hot firemen, and the like. It's fun to tease my cameraman but I'm not going to hook up with him. There's a HUGE difference.

I can't tell if this if it's funnier to assume this is satire or assume it is not.

(It is, right?)

The hot firemen part 😭

He is lucky to have a job at all in that industry. Do people still watch that ?

I sure hope OP has moved on from this housemate since this thread is OVER SIX YEARS OLD!

I mentioned some hot fireman to my recent ex. He didn’t like it.

They were all very buff and HOT! I am praying to see them again.
