I Am An Idiot

Many people take my opinion on things, whether professional matters or personal ones, some are also a lot older than me, makes me feel very flattered and valued, but at the same time, makes me wonder; why! For I know I am genuinely a complete idiot 馃槀馃槄

Have you got big boobs? That cures a number of problems.
@GeniUs: No, that tends to make people take what one has to say [b]less[/b] seriously, because they're not actually listening. 馃檮

Not in my experience, most blokes will listen just to be in their company, not me of course I'm a leg man.

@ReincarnatedPhoenix: it was rhetorical really, more of a statement of why rather than have you. I have spent almost all my working life in a male dominated industry so of course all you had to do was wear a skirt for attention.
@GeniUs: I spent 33 years in the corporate world and "getting attention" in the sexual sense doesn't mean anyone's listening to one's ideas and proposals regarding the [b]business[/b]. If you're trying to get promoted legitimately, your colleagues' wanting to sleep with you is [b]not [/b] an advantage.

I beg to differ having seen it several times.
@GeniUs: You've "seen" one thing. I've both seen [b]and[/b] lived the opposite.

Perhaps you didn't hold out long enough, I don't know. I have witnessed people useless at their jobs getting promoted because they slept with their bosses, fairs fair some even married them.
@GeniUs: I said, [quote]If you're trying to get promoted legitimately, your colleagues' wanting to sleep with you is not an advantage.

No, I wasn't willing to prostitute myself to get ahead. I earned my promotions with the work.

So you accept it went/goes on? And maybe you lost out to people willing to do it would prove my point...
@GeniUs: You admitted that they were useless at their jobs, right ?
GeniUs56-60, M
@bijouxbroussard: Yes.
@GeniUs: So [b]my[/b] point about those in charge not really listening to their ideas stands. If you're asserting that [b]most[/b] men are too weak to be trusted in promoting solely for the good of the business rather than following their sexual desires, I sincerely hope you're wrong. I know some are.

Ok you got me there.
