Where do people work where they actually would spend time with coworkers outside of 9-5?

I become vivacious and attractive when I drink.

The ladies do too.

So drink up, cuties!

Avoid drinking too much. Limit intake to no more than two drinks. You will be more aware of your surroundings and will be able to pick up on signs that something uncomfortable may occur.

Don't spend too much time talking to one person, or any male colleague, who has been drinking too much.

If you don't have a date, bring a friend or relative along to the get-together.

Always remain in a group setting and don't go off alone with anyone, even if you know the person well.

Some of these tips sound like ways to avoid rape. Although I suppose rape is an unwanted sexual advance.

More than 80 percent of the women surveyed in a WorkingMomsOnly.com study said a co-worker had made unwanted sexual advances

Those office parties are pretty rough

I actually like some of my coworkers. You should find a job you don't hate. It's very refreshing not to dread going in every morning

Even if you hate your job you can still like your coworkers. Having a couple drinks and complaining about work can be good for you.

I avoid those minefields like the plague.

Always a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I walked around to another bar during the last office party. Sat there making drawings and drinking cups of tea until it was time to go home. I like my colleagues, just not when they're drinking.

OK, this will sound kinda weird but how do you know it is unwanted (as the aproachee) until you go up and ask? Now continuing to ask after being told sorry but no, I get, but the first one? I've known a lot of folks who were interested in other folks and they said: if only they would ask or show some interest and the other person was interested but too scared or nervous.

Whip out your penis. Judge their reaction. Should be pretty obvious.

Loosen the fark up people, lots of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for an office party... or maybe I'm thinking of snow days parties...

In other news, making a simple survey appearently passes as 'research' these days.

I work with almost all males. Drunken advances could be quite awkward indeed.

Just go for, from the institute of made up percentages 78% of women flatter themselves and dream up inappropriate sexual advances. I am sure most of these cases are just perceived harassment and not actual harassment. Like when you're boogying on the dance floor and some inconsiderate co-worker happens to leave his banana peel on the ground and some accident like this happens:


Also you're covered anyway:
Despite the reality that most advances were unwanted, nearly 80 percent of those who had been approached did not report the incident to a supervisor.

You don't both advance towards each other at the same time, silly...you'd just be jousting. One of you has to turn around.

Who the hell are these people who think that getting completely shiat-faced at work functions, or making sexual advances at coworkers, is a good idea?

It's not like I've never been drunk in my life...and it's not like I've never said "Hey, nice boots, wanna fark?" to anyone in my life...but I don't do that at work, or to people I work with.

IMO workplace romances are a bad idea all around. Too much potential for drama if things go badly. How sad is your personal life that your dating pool consists of, or has to include, members of the appropriate sex(es) you work with?

When you say it to Barney Frank, you've had too much to drink.

In other news, 100% of the drunken s3xual advances I wanted failed to happen.


/actually, there were 2
//had to fark 'em; it's only polite
///you want awkward? how 'bout one gives you an STD?

Sounds like you are anti-social or hate your job, or both.

I love employee parties. Ours is January 1 and yes it involves alcohol, and no, I won't be embarassing myself but I look forward to it like the rest of my great co-workers, many of whom I am friends with.

I've had bad experiences. There is always someone with an axe to grind.

I've had jobs where my coworkers have been friends. At the moment, they're "work friends". Not hanging out after work, not going to their house on the weekend, etc. I like my job and the people I work with, but it's just not that kind of environment. The Christmas Party is during work hours and involves drink, but everybody stays on fairly good behavior.

/4:00 and I'm gone

I very much want to consummate every sexual advance I make while drunk at the company Holiday mixer, subby. You are confused.

You sound like you are a blast at parties!

They want it and they know it.

Unwanted is just the lie they tell their husbands and wives afterwards.

So I shouldn't pull my dick out and rub it on the HR girl's thigh?

love my job, don't hate my co-workers, but, they are my co-workers, not my friends.

/I go in to work, in order to work, not to socialise about my life

Only the good parties, subby, Only the good ones.

Especially if you already have a chip on your shoulder and read sites with names like WorkingMomsOnly.com.

/Get over yourself, lady. If you were all that you'd have landed a husband who made enough so you wouldn't have to work.

Ah, office parties. They were fun once upon a time....

... and wanted.

Why would anyone be upset about a one time unwanted advance? Just shoot the unwanted person down, end of story. I would never do it myself, I'm happily married and I don't think that workplace romance is a good idea, but it's not really the end of the world if both parties are god damned adults about it.

mlorton: The idiots who write articles like this don't think through obvious problems, "How do you know it's unwanted?"

if you're ugly, it's unwanted sexual harassment, and you will be fired, if not jailed.

If you are attractive, you will fark in the broom-closet, and on your desk the next work day, and she will invite her friend over for a threesome within the week.

I miss wild office parties...that was the only time of year I would get wanted sexual advances.

Guess it's back to the ol' roofies and Bailey's for me

/really...that's what I drink

Office parties are the best when you work with a bunch of functioning alcoholics who can't wait to take the bottle out of their desk and start pounding shots in public for once.

Back in the late 90's, I went to an office holiday party in Chicago. At the door, they handed out disposable cameras to everyone. The idea was for us to take pictures that we would later pass around to laugh at.

The next day, I was tapped on the shoulder and told to discretely round up all the cameras. And that was the last holiday party we had with an open bar. Or cameras.

Weird, 38 years in the work force and I've never met anyone who attended an office party like this, much less gone to one myself. It's like those traditional weddings that launch 5 new romances, six pregnancies and 10 divorces; never been to one of those either.
