Hmmm... not eating where you shiii is one of my personal principles but I'm curious as to why you think so in term of meeting people irl? In general I avoid sexual relation in my workplace unless the girl is too good to pass up (in case things go awry, my face is thicc enough to see the girls everyday but a woman's grudge shouldn't be taken lightly) but I still socialize with my coworkers, nothing wrong with that... or is it?

Hey absolutely nothing wrong with socializing with co-workers as long as you understand the environment. Let me explain my own opinions more in depth.

Usually when people say they want to meet people easier irl, the first thing people go to is just meet them at work. The problem with that besides it being your money maker is it depends on what type of environment you work in.

I read on a forum a while back about a comment someone made about how different work environments let you get away with different stuff.
An example would be, I used to work in the oil field. And the random, outlandish stuff I heard on a daily basis as well as the shenanigans were crazy, but no one was also running to HR.

So a certain type of demeanor was required in that type of environment. And Im positive there was a lot of behind the scenes sexing going on between multiple people in the office :O

Where if its more of a corporate/white collar type job, those people also "expect" you to put on your socializing mask and play watercooler talk, and not make too many waves...
Also of course there are those situations where you if make the wrong person mad or you hurt someones' feelings for even something as little as you wouldnt chat with them in a certain way, then theirs that HR talk coming a bit too fast.

So my own personal philosophy is try and keep the work stuff work, unless of course like you said the person you want to pursue is just amazing haha. (Always an exception to the rule)

Ah I understand it better now, thanks. Now that I remember it, some of my jokes did offend people back then, especially those who are sensitive to dark and macabre humor or dry/sarcastic humor. Since then, I've learned to make my jokes E-for-everyone to play it safe aka "watercooler talk" like you so aptly described

It becomes such a natural habit that I totally forgot about those issues that you mentioned that I myself have had the misfortune to encounter in the past. Nowadays in this PC age, it definitely is something that we should be more aware of in regard to jokes, never know when we'll get caught by a SJW at work lol
