Goodness me! <fans self>

[NoMoreMarbles]

It's not an AIBU but...

I'm married and all...

I work in a very male-centric environment and there's a new manager who started a week or so ago and oh sweet Moses he's beautiful!

Tall (6 feet plus region) slim but well built, dark hair, brown eyes

I'm all a-flutter like some sort of damsel and I've got to be professional (he's one of my main stakeholders!) so need an outlet...

Anyone fancy joining me in some entirely lighthearted, slightly objectifying, appreciation of the opposite sex?

There's an older nurse who works there and she said to me and a couple of the other people with their jaws on the floor.

Window shopping is okay. You're married not dead. Just don't open your purse. 😂

@Menarefrommarsitwouldseem that's a great way to put it!

It's been quite a while since I window shopped haha

@CrazedWaitress

Misread "it" as "I" in your "wet and blustery" sentence and had to re-read it more slowly because the first skim read left me with a completely different scenario in mind.

Who's chocolate wanking in an advert? I've missed something chocolate related, must have been too busy wanking.

Oh I used to work with three incredibly good looking young men - I've recently returned to work and none of them are still there they were their own little team. One incredibly tall, dark and handsome (European, sexy accent, undeniably gorgeous). Another was tall, big of a bigger build and more "rough round the edges". They were both early 30s. The third was mid 20s and looked like something from a 90s boy band with his floppy hair and posh accent. I never did get a lot of work done - they were all incredible flirts.

See, I don't normally swoon over good looks. However, a really good sense of humour will make me weak at the knees hahahaha, it usually means I get a bit flustered around the most inappropriate people

I totally get it.

Many years ago there used to be this insanely hot (and also lovely) delivery driver who used to come into my work most days. My colleagues and I could barely speak to him without being jibbering wrecks. And the one day he stopped coming in as the delivery company went bust.

8 years later I got on a bus, looking like shite and go to swipe my pass, only to hear the driver say "hello". It was the hot delivery driver. Instantly I turned into that jibbering wreck again. 8 fucking years later and he still had the same effect on me.

The times they are a-changin, and i struggle to understand the new ideas about what's acceptable. But from what i gather so far human attraction is still considered normal. To be caught off guard by an unexpected swoon is still considered normal. Stalking, i believe I'm right on this, it's totally out.

It's so hard when it happens op, in the work environment there's no where to go to tell anyone and talk the angst out, i get it!

What's wrong with appreciating a member of the opposite sex (or the same one if that applies)? It's normal. I have no problem with someone expressing this on MN either.

It's only creepy if OP starts behaving inappropriately towards this guy.

What's demi sexual? And no it's not creepy to fancy other human beings

My DPD delivery driver is bloody gorgeous and a really lovely man too. He brightens up the day when he comes in. And luckily we order shed loads at work

I can't wait to hear the feminists take on this thread.
OP you are surely joking. Men would be demonised for this.

I'm a feminist and will not be demonising op

When I was in recovery after an op, there was a beeyooteefull male nurse. He was so beautiful I could appreciate it through the drugs. All the female staff seemed to go a little bit silly around him

Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look in the bakers window...Just don't sample the buns. Mine is my dentist. He is just gorgeous all dark and smouldering. My friend comes with me when I have an appointment hoping he'll come into reception!

@AutumnCrow OMG!!!!! Michael Praed as Robin Hood.....Swoon!.

God, there are some people completely devoid of humour on here. I’d hate to have to be around them IRL. How depressing and lacking in joy that would be. 🙄

Awwwww..... just looked at current Michael Praed.....Nope. No fanny gallops

Ooh. It’s lovely to have something/one that makes going into work seem not quite so bad after all...🤣😂

Creepy? Don’t be so bloody ridiculous.

Nothing wrong with looking, as long as you don't touch!

My manager is lovely to look at, nothing more but certainly brightens my day!

It's the malteaser advert thread that's currently running. Where the girl basically shows her mates how she wanked a guy off. Ending in a shower of Maltesers.

It’s basic human nature to be attracted to other humans (especially drop dead gawjus ones 😅) I don’t get the creepy and objectifying comments! The OP isn’t groping his buttocks every time he passes.

Oh that advert is so gross.

We have a lovely photocopier man who visits when ours breaks, it breaks a lot 😁

I stupidly positioned myself directly opposite said beautiful man in a meeting today... my thought process was large table, less distracting but that was a bit of a bum move obviously! Never mind I noticed the HR manager all a flutter too so that makes me feel a bit better! She's usually very professional and straight laced..,
