I see this attitude especially from professional, successful, well-to-do guys - they are MUCH more secretly conservative than I thought. Why are people still like this in the 21st century?[/quote]

The conventionally successful guys view women as commodities. This is partly because they view themselves as a commodity, too. I drive *this* car. I make *this* salary. Etc.
I don't think heavy drinking or sleeping around has anything to do with it. I don't think a lot of commentators so far understand the dynamic that you are encountering. It isn't about being an adult (after all, OP said her male co-workers are behaving similarly). It isn't particularly a workplace thing either. Alpha males (with exceptions, of course) are not going to be looking for you, least of all because you are working at the same place. They don't want someone who is working. They want someone who has done what is necessary to commoditize herself in order to easily signal to other alpha males how much money they can afford to spend on their 'acquisition' (girlfriend/wife).

If you didn't catch on to what they are looking for and position yourself to be hot, vapid and expensive to maintain a long time ago, I doubt you would actually enjoy being acquired by one of these guys. Are you a porsche? No? Then stop trying to attract porsche buyers.

I'm a WOHM, BTW, who has encountered plenty of these characters and I've always been astounded at the superficiality of what they want. And I wrote because I, too, thought the slut shaming was bullshit.[/quote]
