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 😂😅

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

@bijouxbroussard: I happen to have small ones actually 😅 I can't believe I am answering his question 😂

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 business. If you're trying to get promoted legitimately, your colleagues' wanting to sleep with you is not an advantage.

I beg to differ having seen it several times.
@GeniUs: You've "seen" one thing. I've both seen and 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,
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 ?
GeniUs · 56-60, M
@bijouxbroussard: Yes.
@GeniUs: So my point about those in charge not really listening to their ideas stands. If you're asserting that most 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.
