Me and my coworkers agree that there is definitely a shortage of attractive men at our workplace. We just don't understand - just because all of you guys are intelligent (arguably) that doesn't mean you all can't be attractive. Is management intentionally picking mediocre-looking people to hire?
The very few attractive guys we do have at work were probably unattractive when they were hired and then blossomed into a yummy visual treat for me and my friends. But there are VERY few of them who get the unanimous stamp of approval. Dian may say that NJ and I wear desperate goggles when she doesn't see what so attractive about some of these guys. NJ would tell me that I like them boyish and that's why sometimes we disagree on either a guy is cute or not.
We are not self-appointed arbitrators of good looks but in a place where people talk about monetary policies and financial market expansion and growth... finding an eye-candy or two to serve as a distraction would be a nice escape from the soul-eating mundanity that is our job (mine at least).
Sure ogling in general is fun and I am shameless and unapologetic about doing it blatantly at work. I don't know if they feel flattered or just creeped out when I stare at them walking into the cafeteria, but I'm sure they look good for people to look at them, or else why bother getting those bodies all toned and begging to be sprung on. Don't want me to stare at them, then stop wearing slim fit shirts. hmmph.
This is also why I go to the gym in the morning. Because after work, the gym is filled by these guys. Incentive: Eye-candy feast. Disincentive: Barely working out. Yeah... I rather work out.
I do notice that there is an influx of slightly more metrosexual guys joining the organization. Years of studying abroad may have rubbed some fashion sense and appearance awareness on these guys. They look leaner and fitter than the guys who have been around here for a few years. Expensive hair cuts with products applied. Fitted shirts and matching ties and shoes. BUT unfortunately, they appear to me as rather snooty. They walk around acting like they're the shit. They walk around the place like it's a fashion runaway and they are modeling Gaultier's winter collection. It is not a je ne sais qoui feel that they're generating. Je sais ce qu'est il! It's icky and annoying and I detest it.
I so wanna put them in their places. It's sort of what I do. Civilize people. Making the world a better place. Satisfaction.
Maybe I will get to. Maybe I won't. But by heavens I will definitely try.
