I think this advice only applies to idiots. I've been dating coworkers for years and it's never once screwed me. My fiance is a former coworker. As long as you both understand the risks and are decent to someone after a break up, you really shouldn't have a problem.

Counter-counterpoint: my coworker is obnoxious and is not attractive and I'm afraid I'm starting to develop Stockholm Syndrome from the amount of my life I spend having to listen to them die on anthills all day.
Hell if they're someone who not only can stand me but I can stand them, then we're already halfway there lol

Instructions unclear, dated attractive co-worker in 2007. She farted on our first date, loud enough to be heard over the music and loud drunks at a steakhouse.
We've been married 17 years.
An interesting way to share your fart fetish with us
My coworker is also very attractive. We've been in various stages of relationship since highschool and were engaged before she got hired, however.
Edit: She would like the Internet to know that I woo'd her with compliments about her puke-green eyes.

If I spend 40 hours a week with someone and still I'm attracted to them then they're attractive and probably a nice person.
One of my coworkers is physically extremely attractive but to be honest I would quite like to have her beaten to death with a mallet. No amount of attractiveness can overcome her lazy petty vindictiveness.
In my experience, attractive people are used to get what they want because society subconsciously favors them. I'm not generalising as there are plenty of attractive people that are good human beings. But I think attractive people tend to be narcissistic than their non attractive counterparts.

Oh god. It went from threads to reddit to lemmy. I want to hurl.
Threads is still relevant?
I mean it claims 12 k somethings.. that's probably more upvotes than total upvotes cast in a day on lemmy
As occasionally using Meta services, I have a feeling that they are by far in the dead internet, the bots outnumber humans.
Sure, but.. a top post in 6hrs here might be pushing 1k upvotes and 50 comments.
Let's just be honest about how things are

Isn’t that what they call an “office 8”?
A friend recently said to me "you're at least a village 8.5". I'm still not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.
Depends… do you live in a village or the city?
Speak for yourself. My bosses are all 50 plus year old perverts, so they're only hiring incredibly attractive women.
Sometimes going into work sucks for me the way it might feel for a goblin sewer cleaner to walk out into the city.
Hi, one of your coworkers here 👋
We actually spend a lot of time talking behind your back about how hot you are

Counterpoint: my place of business hired a person who was a regular customer that I found distressingly attractive, like "Oh no, that hot customer is back, okay don't be weird, give them their space."
Once I worked with them for a few months I found out they were a total space cadet. I didn't suddenly find them un-attractive, but I definitely revised my estimation such that their presence was no longer a problem.

I find the inverse true. I work at a place that has a few women I thought were very attractive. Now that I've worked with them for years, I'm over it

This explains why my wife-to-be showed any interest at all in me at first.

That is why I know they are attractive, both inside and out.
You also get to walk away from your coworker and not think about them every day at the same time, which luxury is no longer available when you become a couple.

OOP's statement still holds up for some of us who work alone.
Don't insult my mom like that
Okay, fine, your mom is very attractive. She single?
Maybe... what are you intentions ?
A nice place to work.
You have a much better shot at his mom than finding a nice place to work.

Almost seems backwards. If you’re spending that much time in close proximity to a person and you are finding them attractive, that would seem to be a good sign.

My coworker IS attractive. My coworker is also my spouse.
As the Sapnish saying goes "el roce hace el cariño", that roughly translates as "you get fond of the people you spend time with"
Why is it in English then that familiarity breeds contempt?
It's probably because of the English. Don't get too close to them.
Becuse they are talking about the English
