Sojourner Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 We just got a new ad rep for the publication I write for. Apparently he's very good-looking. I have yet to see him, but I've heard tell of his good looks from (straight) guys and women alike.
Proud2BCatholic139 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) Why would it matter if he was good looking or not? Well, unless if a woman was single, but... It would only matter to me if he was a good co-worker/or boss. Edited October 17, 2005 by Proud2BCatholic139
Sojourner Posted October 17, 2005 Author Posted October 17, 2005 [quote name='Carrie' date='Oct 17 2005, 10:24 AM']Nothing wrong with a little eye candy. [right][snapback]761131[/snapback][/right] [/quote] My thoughts exactly. And actually, good looks can really help in a sales position, from what I've read. Hopefully he can leverage that into more ads, which means more revenue for the paper, which means ... that we probably still won't get the raises we deserve, but still.

Cow of Shame Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 so, we can only take pleasure in all the rest of nature's beauty, except that of man? hypocrite I suppose the Sistine Chapel is just a bunch of dirty nudie pictures, too, eh?
Proud2BCatholic139 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Having "thoughts" or looking at a person lustfully can lead to impure thoughts...... I try to stay away from that.

Am I allowed to talk to him, or can I only talk to guys I don't find attractive? BTW, this guy does look good, but he's very, very young.
Jaime Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 If he's old enough to be an ad rep He's old enough to sojourn

He doesn't come close.

[right][snapback]764792[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I don't think calling someone "eye candy", i.e. acknowledging that I think he's physically attractive, is lusting. Your comments seem to indicate you think otherwise.
Carrie Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Saying he's "eye candy" is slang for saying he's attractive. Lust was never even an issue. I've never even seen the man!
