 London:
One in five Brit employees won’t mind flirting with their
boss in a bid to get a pay raise or promotion, a new survey
has revealed.
According to survey by an online dating agency Parship, men
are more likely than their female colleagues to enter into a
little sexual playfulness with women bosses.
While 19 per cent of women admitted that they will use their
charms to get on, 25 per cent of men said that they were
willing
to try it. |
 On
one hand, where over a third of men are
actually attracted to their female
superiors, finding them intelligent,
self-confident, open-minded, and honest,
with good communication skills, a sense of
humour and a can-do attitude.
On the other hand only 17 per cent of
women agreed that they fancy their male
bosses, a few even described them as
ruthless, domineering know-it-alls.
The survey showed that male employees were
more in favour of an office romance with
57 per cent saying they would date a
colleague.
However, only 15 per cent of women think
it is okay.
"Perhaps women have learned through bitter
experience that using one's sex appeal to
get ahead at work can backfire,” the Daily
Star quoted psychologist Dr Nafsika
Thalassis, Parship''s "singles coach", as
saying.
"Women who flirt with the boss risk having
their bluff called.
"They are more likely to realise that
flirting to get ahead will be disapproved
of by colleagues. Men are less concerned
that flirting will result in being
cornered by their boss.
"But they should be wary - hell hath no
fury like a woman scorned.
"The fun of flirting lies in its
maybe-I-mean-it, maybe-I-don't
playfulness, but it is often better to
conduct relationships with absolute
clarity," she added. |
