Lighthearted thread!

was just chatting to DH about this. I’m in an industry with lots of very powerful successful middle age men (50s/ 60s). I’m mid 30s, reasonably attractive, successful but not in the same role as these men. I was chatting to DH about how I definitely gently flirt wish these men in work for professional gain. Not overt, or sexual flirting but more banter, putting them down, they seem to love it. I think very successful men really enjoy being sort of put down in a flirty way by younger females.

DH finds it quite humorous and said he can definitely see me doing this and that he can see when I’m doing this with his dad (my fil) which I definitely do. He’s definitely not jealous and if anything finds it quite sexy that I can “manipulate” men like this.

do other women use their sexuality in the workplace? Or am i some kind of succubus.

That's...a bit gross OP.
Reminds me of someone I worked with years ago. Used to make me cringe tbh.

You flirt with your father-in-law? Gross. Do you have daddy issues?

This is going to go poorly. Unless you’re completely new to MN, you know this.
