Sorry for yet another “new job” post, but I think this warrants documenting. Even if it’s just from a curiosity standpoint.
The people that I work with are, by and large, attractive. And by “people” I mean the men. And by “attractive” I mean 7’s and above. Thin, fit… hot even. And mostly (if not completely) straight.
It’s a little weird.
This isn’t just because I’m gay and in a new work environment either. I’ve been around the proverbial block enough to be able to separate gay wishful thirst from empirically handsome straight men.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Eye candy is eye candy. But I mean, statistically there should be more population variation here. Even in this small of a company.
Ok- and not everyone is hot. The old guard folks that have been here 20+ years looks like they’ve sort of been “grandfathered in”. Figuratively and literally. But the newer engineers? All Handsome.
And a disproportionate number seem to have thicc asses on them, too.
Here’s a brief list:
- S- test engineer. Early 40’s. Starting the salt n pepper thing. Solid frame. Piercing Blue eyes. Looks like a straight porn actor.
- D- test engineer. 20-something Asian kid with serious cakes ans thighs. Wears extraordinarily tight jeans on a daily basis.
- A- mech engineer. Brand new SE Asian kid fresh out of school. Faux hawk and handsome with a big smile— and an even bigger ass
- K- summer intern. Senior in college. Totally cute and shy. Kinda doofus-y (in an endearing way). Scruffy mustache and stubble. Doesn’t yet realize how handsome he is.
- J- product dev. My work crush. Later 20’s and ridiculously hot. Plays guitar on breaks. BDE for days. Also a thicc ass in dem jeans.
- J- materials eng. later 20’s. Blonde and blue eyed, small framed. Looks like a sit com actor. Whip smart and twink adorable.
- B- test engineer. Early 30’s Nordic hipster with a handlebar mustache (the good kind) and glasses. Quiet sexy.
- Z- engineering tech. 20-something frat bro type and all that that implies. Floofy hair and all.
- J- Maintenance tech. 20-something and rail thin. Nerdy cute.
- J- test manager. Late 40’s? Tall. Fit. S-n-P going on. just a handsome guy’s guy. Again, looks like someone you’d see in straight porn.
- D- Fabrication eng. Looks like a quintessential leather daddy but in work drag. Fit. Wiry strong. Silver beard, probably early 50’s. Could totally see him in chaps and a Muir cap.
All this makes me wonder if our CEO might have a little sugar in his gas tank.
Are they hiring?! LOL! 😉
One thing I can tell you is there is fair representation of the LGBTQ in the engineering communities. I’m serious. I’ve been in places where I’ve actually heard gay men talking about programming in SAP. That shocked the hell out of me.
