[quote=njtosd] A male friend of mine who was having trouble making partner…yelled “REALLY??” and jumped on the back of the bike 🙂 .

That’s hilarious. Did he ever make partner?
As for the rest of your post, you’re just talking common sense. I agree with basically all of what you say. (Although I think that while 99% of available women aren’t coworkers, that doesn’t change the fact that, if you add up each minute that you spend with an available woman, for most men somewhere between 50% and 95% of those minutes are with coworkers.)
As I said in my previous post:

While never approaching a woman regarding sex in this scenario might be a wise policy, should it really be required?

My problem is that we seem to have taken common sense out of it. It’s a black and white thing now. If you’re in a position of power, you can’t approach a woman in your company for sex without risking your entire career, regardless of any other circumstances.

Even if she’s giving this hypothetical guy “the signals” – everyone knows that work relationships rarely end up well, and problems are almost unavoidable. Why open yourself up for that?

Maybe to him the relationship ending up well isn’t important to him and maybe typical workplace-type post-romance problems are worth it to him. But that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about his career ending.
