[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1725 again.  I don't see any meaningful difference between commenting on a male co-worker's new glasses (which you see as ok), and commenting on a female co-worker's new haircut (which I see as ok).  Do you?[/quote]

First of all, learn the abbreviations.  DP means "different poster," so you're assigning someone else's views to me.  Secondly, there is a difference between commenting "I see you got new glasses" which is what that poster actually said, and [i]complimenting [/i]a female co-worker's new haircut.  One is an observation, the other is a compliment, and complimenting someone's looks is a way of putting yourself in the position of validating the person, which is not your place at work. If it is in your job description to judge/validate the person, it's not on their attractiveness.  Thirdly, I will take your refusal to answer directly and doubling down on "female co-worker's" as an answer that no, you do not compliment your male colleagues' haircuts.  So you yourself do not think it's the same, because you do it to one gender and not the other. [/quote]

NP here. So if  he were to say " I see you got a new hair cut!" Would that be okay?[/quote]
