This is so terrible when you work with a much older crowd. I'm getting tired of undressing Maude with my eyes

Yeah I mean she's hot for a human or whatever

We use the term "power plant hot" at work.

this reminds me of "engineering hot" while in school. you'd see a girl in broughton and she'd look pretty cute, and then see her at pb's and she'd be all ecky

Yeah, Broughton Hall was not a good place to meet women. I'm guessing there were about 2-5 good looking ones. I remember a couple of semesters where I didn't have one girl in any class that I found attractive.

Oh, and I work at a shipyard now as an engineer...it's even worse than the USMC in terms of women. There are about 5000 people who work there; I can think of 3 that I would at least sleep with.

We had something called the paper mill scale at my old job. A female would be like 8 on the paper mill scale, but 5 in real life. The hourly guys pretty much thought every female intern was Gisele.

Deployment hot? Man, you don't even go with the fun terms: 2-10-2 and Desert Queen

Psychologists have done studies about how the more often you see people, the more likely you are to find them attractive.

I don't see any of my coworkers as hot anymore - they're kinda like siblings, or they're all friendzoned, or something like this

Man I remember those days, haha.

There is one attractive girl in my building (not a huge building, prob 100 people working here). Compared to the rest she looks pretty amazing, but outside of here probably an 8.

Don't get my wrong, I wouldn't turn her down.
