We're so far away in what concerns this subject, that it's best not even discuss it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your kindness.
(We'd be in trouble if you and I were married and could not talk something over, it just occured to me, but then, we probably wouldn't feel attracted to each other before it even gets this far....
But who knows. I am stubborn too. My word is law!!!
Only kidding....

None of the above.Annapurna wrote: To all...

Why is that so?
My wife and I employ men and women and some have been very attractive.
I have never pursued any of the women and she hasn't pursued any of the men.
At various times she has laughed and joked with some of them and I am not jealous.
I have never been fired for being too sexy.
So, I guess that makes me an objective observer?
Re: Employers can fire workers they find too sexy
I don't know you very well, David.
It seems you are happily married. If you are a highly evolved man, surely your compassion expands to all three of them, seeing their weaknesses with understanding and loving kindness, -understanding they are all suffering.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Well, a bucket on Stallone's head made him much more attractive.

All of us have cravings. We do not need to act on these cravings. We need to see them as the negative emotions that they are, put them in their place and go about our business. This failing is entirely the employers. Based on this logic, all attractive people should probably be maimed to avoid their being a temptation to others.
I cannot understand this decision except that it took place in the midwest where all sorts of idiotic, backward ideas are still tolerated. Thankfully, I do not live there.

I agree! I'd be worried too!If this were my spouse, I would be very worried because this behavior means my spouse is immature and unfeeling and cannot control himself. What a horrible person to be married to.
It's interesting you call it "immature", though, when a man's (or woman's ) sexdrive is aroused.
It's just that, an instinct....inbuilt... a biological default mode in healthy individuals. Can happen to anybody...with a doctor's degree too...
I think this drive can be controlled, by most, but if it takes constant effort, I personally would try to distance myself from a constant temptation. Simply because then I can follow my better insight with less risks that I fail. After all, I am human, not perfect...is that immature?
isn't it wise, to know one's limits...?
We all have our set of likes.....for instance, I wouldn't want to live anywhere in the USA, where anybody can own a gun and go on a bloody rampage and people still defend having weapons...I cannot understand this decision except that it took place in the midwest where all sorts of idiotic, backward ideas are still tolerated. Thankfully, I do not live there.
I find that hard to understand...
Re: Employers can fire workers they find too sexy
Oh, sorry, Corrine, I forgot to add why I'd be worried:
I'd have serious doubts if he loves me at all. Or if we are compatible. Of course he could be so immature, that he'd be with someone he doesn't love, just to have someone, rather than noone.
That's perhaps what you meant...or would you like to explain this some further? I'm really curious to hear youtr thoughts on this..
