Wrong. I'd fire him for what he proposed to the woman. I don't GAF if he scored or not. That's immaterial to my decision.

And her decision can change at any point, too. Let's don't forget that.

Um. But, you found out he did that at the wedding too.

The point is. You only find out if it DOESN'T work.

Which is a patently absurd construct.

Asking to make her feel better?

That is always the case.

If you walk up and slap a woman...and, she just happens to be "into" that kinda thing....you will not get into trouble. You might get into her pants.


But, the act of slapping a woman at random is a crime IF she reports it as a battery.


It is always a matter of "consent" or, at minimum, "acceptance" when it comes to these things.

Let’s all be honest here. If a woman is telling you she doesn’t like having sex with her partner anymore she’s begging you to frick her. If anything she sexually harassed him in this instance.

You offer to tell her how. She's now very embarrassed. So, you say, "hey, I'll just email it to ya".

You put it in writing? Never put something you are unsure could get you in trouble in writing. A lot easier to deny words out of your mouth than words on paper.

You're working with a woman. She's junior to you but not subordinate to you.

She's clearly down one day and let's it be known that it's because boyfriend and her are fighting.

She also let's it be known that she's just not interested in fooling around with him anymore because it's not enjoyable.

You subtly drop in that you can solve that enjoyment problem. She embarrasses easily so, turns a bit red.

You offer to tell her how. She's now very embarrassed. So, you say, "hey, I'll just email it to ya".

And you do.


At this point, depending on the e-mail, yes, this could absolutely be considered sexual harassment if she reported it

yeeeesh.


Perhaps. I don't care who is horny, etc.


Ask her out for coffee, dinner, etc.

IF you use company email to 'tell a fellow employee how you can make sex enjoyable again'

then, you ARE risking a rightful termination. That is all. It is a RISK. If she enjoys it and you two become a happy couple. Great. But, that does not mean the approach was correct from an EMPLOYER point of view.



PERSONALLY, I'd never get my meat and my bread from the same place. But, that's just me.

The email would be the tipping point for me.

No offense man but that wasn't your best work. A physical act in a verbal act are different

The point I'm making in this thread is that the very concept of sexual harassment now that it has expanded Beyond quid pro quo is silly

We basically decided to criminalize failed dating activity

NO. The point of view of the "recipient" is what matters.


You can call me "neeger" and the worst that will happen is I'll not like you and I'll ignore you.

I know some people who would react differently. Same word. Same context. Different outcomes based upon the "recipient's" point of view and reaction.

Again, wrong. Whether or not you scored is immaterial. Propositioning her at work, AND PUTTING IT IN WRITING, no less, would be the determining factors for me IF she filed a complaint against you. And it's not because I don't want you to get laid. I just don't need those kind of problems in the office and among my employees. Chase tail on your own dime, not on mine.
