Male Bosses And Their Secretaries

Male Bosses And Their Secretaries

I overheard a rumor today that one of my lady friends got married to the boss last weekend. Being a Friday, I want us to discuss or dwell on the issue of secretaries and their male bosses and throw in some attraction while at it!

Why do many male bosses find their secretaries attractive? I did some digging around.

Whether any scientific study has been made as to the proportion of men who fancy their secretaries, I do not know, but there seem to be so many factors involved here that the blanket assumption – men find their secretaries attractive – is surely begging too many questions to be taken at face value.

For example:

• Not every woman who works as a secretary is young and beautiful
• Not every woman is looking to seduce her boss
•Not every man, or every woman, wants to be unfaithful to their partner

That said, there are such things as office romances, and it does sometimes happen that a boss and his secretary will become sexually attracted to each other. In a previous place of work of mine, there was a famous occasion when a couple was discovered in their office after hours, and both of them lost their jobs as a result.

OK then, let’s assume that some men do find their secretaries attractive, and seek to do something about it. And let’s also assume that some secretaries are willing partners in the affair. Why should this be?
Here is what I found out:

•Availability. Busy managers may well spend more time in the company of their secretaries, or other office staff, than they do with their wives. Assuming that the working day is nine to five, and the time spent traveling is an hour at the end of each day, and time sleeping is eight hours, that’s 17 out of the 24 hours accounted for already. If the man takes work home in the evening, spends at least some time with the children and plays or watches sport at the weekend, the actual time spent with his wife is not all that great.
