Gender dynamics at work. Should I seduce the intern?

My Dad was a personnel manager when I was a kid. Rule #1 - do not fuck anyone at work. Pounded into my head my whole life. Off limits, just like women who my friends dated.

Eh, worst that could happen is your company gets sued you get fired and it’s public record for all future employers. Def not if she was a 6, but 7-8? Go for it.

Damn I didn’t know Subway had that many layers of management!

You cannot squirt your mayo on buns while at work.

If all u wanted is fwb then I feel it’s inappropriate and not worth it. If you felt a potential long term real connection then go for it

Happened to me a few times with a co-worker that I wanted fwb with. But it seemed like they either weren't interested period, or only in something serious. So fwob aka friendzone.

I would have to agree with SkiBum's dad. You just do not want something to jeopardize your career for some side action. That is what strip club VIPs are for.

It made no difference to me if someone was a co-worker, as I don't get at all pesky with women. I always took a pass on the ones who actually wanted some peskiness, they fall into the cost you more than a sex worker category. Contrary to manosphere paranoia, you need some amount of peskiness to get into any real trouble.

You don't shit where you eat.

I remember there was this scene in Hall Pass with Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis where they're talking about who they should screw first with their Hall Pass, and they both decided on one thing.

Keep The Office Clean.

You're asking for trouble. I can think of a hundred ways in which this will end badly for you. If you want a young, pretty woman to pay attention to you, go to a strip club.

What are you? Stupid?

She doesn't want anything to do with you.

As someone who's worked in corporate America for 40 years, I've seen quite a few work relationships like that crash and burn, and in a couple of cases, cost the company a relatively large sum. So I agree with skibum. Don't even try.

I doubt a college intern would be interested in an uneducated porter like yourself. Did you fail out of sixth grade? Your spelling, this post and historically, is atrocious. Combine the lack of basic education with the retarded logic that you should try to seduce an intern and you clearly should castrate yourself. You are too inbred for the shallowest of gene pools.

Danger Will Robinson! No matter how many layers you have, you can still get nailed for workplace sexual harassment. Don't piss in your own pool!

Risks outweigh benefits by pretty large margin. I agree with others that it’s not worth it. If you do go for it I would advise against taking her to a Coldplay concert

Absolutely not. And you’re a creep for even thinking about it. If a 21 year male intern wants to fuck the 21 year old female intern, that’s OK. Maybe even expected. But interns are absolutely off limits to older career employees. That’s just gross. What’s wrong with people? Isn’t there a 40 yr old accountant or marketing lady you can fuck?If you’re lucky you’ll just get fired.

The best thing that could happen is that you happily spend the rest of your life together. The worst thing that could happen is everything else

Not a good idea. Go to a club.

Don’t dip your pen in the company ink.

Knew a guy about 20 years ago that was 50 and married. Took the 18-year-old office assistant to lunch every day. He parked as far away from the building as possible and his van never left the parking lot. He found out she was fucking 2 other employees besides him. He tried firing her. She went to his boss. He got fired. They paid her $50K to go away. That was 2 years of pay.

Had another intern that offered to be my traveling assistant when I went on trips. Made it clear she would be "very appreciative" to travel to Europe. I was young and stupid. I passed.

And let me add one more ingredient to the stew. So, it starts off very well, a connection is established, but then, it goes south and you break up. Then she decides to complain to HR... The best that can happen now is an unending series of interviews followed by a note in your record and a warning. At the worst, discharge and a cloud that will follow you to every potential employer. I watched it happen to a guy who started the same day as I did. That was 50 years ago and the odds for you have definitely improved since then. It was particularly bad because the idiot was married. I can't imagine the awkward conversation with his wife when he had to explain why he was suddenly fired 😖

This thread illustrates a key thing about relationship advice. If someone's personality is a bucket of ugliness, they generally think that relationships are inherently ugly.
Certainly you should do what one should always do, be careful not to show your interest in her in a way that would make her uncomfortable. If she is much younger, you're out of luck unless she's pretty outgoing. You'll need stronger signals from her, since the age difference may be an automatic creep out for her. If somebody feels like they can't date at work, that seems like a problem with not knowing how to be nice and recognize niceness in others.

Are you about to retire?

If not, not worth it

@ikmowbetter If guys wanted to fuck 40 year olds they wouldn’t be on TUsCl

But I agree with the general gist of your post

No. Not just “no,” but HELL NO.

There is no possible upside to this.

Be safe. Strip clubs only.

YES - please give us an update

Tell your hormones to shut the fuck up. They aren't just reading between the lines, they're writing whole litanies of potential legal action against you.

But I do have to admit… if she’s a real 10… OMG.

Yes, thank you for the 25+ comments of warning against doing anything stupid. Kinda needed the kick in the ass to snap out of it. I’ve decided against doing it.

This whole experience is a bit different for me. I’ve had tons of instances where I worked with 8 to 10s and have on several occasions turned down frank offers for sex. All of these were either direct co-workers, supervisors, or direct reports. I knew it was a terrible idea to get involved.

This situation, because she is far removed from my team, and reporting structure, kinda clouded my judgement. It doesn’t help that I don’t have as much free time or freedom of movement to go to clubs these days…

Again, thanks for helping to snap out of it.

Why risk your income over a women, when there’s numerous ways to get laid with a hot girl. You’re literally on TUSCL, you should know you can just go to a strip club if you want a hot girl to get you off. Do risk your income.

Seems all are in agreement on this...no stronger signal to stay away than this. It's similar to a "don't fuck your housekeeper" discussion several months ago.
