LC you sound as though you are lovely inside and out, you better get used to getting loads of male attention

I think she is already used to it.
I believe she keeps a stick with her, always, to beat off unwanted attention, these days.

Most men can control themselves Kraftie but there isn't scope for a long term "platonic" friendship if the girl/woman is single.
In the real world I have good working relationship with married women as there is a mutual understanding. Indeed I am able to catchup for coffee with many of my married female co-workers.
Single girls don't make good co-workers for males for reasons I don't really need to spell out.

I agree,
And with sexual harassment concerns,
Even through misunderstandings,
It is better to play it safe and keep to social distancing distance x2
But there are always exceptions to the rules. <shug>
This problem of sexual harassment and perceived sexual harassment has changed society.
Not that long ago, there was a report on the media that a lot of men are actually frightened to have a lunch break, etc, with a female colleague, for fear of a misunderstanding with them or gossip about their "Liaison".
Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin had to fend off malicious gossip, as an example.

Sarcasm: You just explained the gender opportunity gap and pay gap in IT (and many male-dominated workplaces). Gee, if I'd gotten married earlier, been less attractive, more NT, not mentioned breastfeeding, or perhaps simply homosexual or male, I could have been a contender.
I have no problem with women in the workforce. I am stating a fact. Young single women are not ideal workmates for males. However when you work in teams you can't choose whom to work with.
How funny is it that I am defending your position.
