The one on the left is fuckin' hired.

I think the problem the respondents had with the girl on the left may have been that she wasn't bringing anything to the table.

Duh. You put a man wearing a open collar with 3 or 4 gold chains with his hair slicked back next to a man in a Brookes Brother suit and you get the same result. Though I do contradict the study as I do not have one negative thought about the one on the left.

The girls get skirts.

That's just the way it fucking is.

The one on the right wants me to tell her that she's hired, but I don't placate.

I'd hire both of them, but the one on the left is definitely getting a bigger raise.

the cute mail-boy with the ass like Olga Korbett in her prime

This is disturbing on more than one level.

Ah, to have been the grad student who was responsible for the actual running of the experiment! The lady would have had to "model" various outfits, poses, and other behavioral patterns before the experiment began.

To control for error. And bias. Lots of potential bias there.....

After all which thong goes with which mini is a very important consideration and a male eye is best at picking that out.

In an attempt to be fair, a female grad student could run the procedural check for the male control condition.

It must be fun to work in a University Psych lab.

This&That

Ace, if I am correctly reading the last two sentences of this post, you are asking for 'homos' to give you a 'boner'.

Gay. Very gay.

Oh this is just too funny:

But men, too, can dress too sexy for work, San Antonio executive coach Barbara Greene said. "Sometimes they'll wear a shirt with too many open buttons," she said. "They'll show cleavage."

Bwahahahahaha!

Offenses like that, committed by men or women, often go unpunished, but sometimes a little cleavage can mean losing a job.

If you're showing off MAN-BOOB CLEAVAGE you have some serious issues, and it's pretty unlikely you have a job anyway.

Listen, this is the way it works. A secretary or assistant can be sexily attired. However, if my boss is giving me directions wearing a mini and tight top and, instead of her words, I can only concentrate on her chest, or her legs, or her ass or ... See what I mean? That's just bad for my career.

That being said, it would be perfectly OK for the one on the right to let her hair loose while keeping her grave business suit. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Guys, I'm all over the one on the right. The whole repressed librarian look?
It's hot. Damned hot.

I hate to point out the incredibly obvious, but I'm assuming everyone realizes that the one on the left and the one on the right are the same woman, in placating and non-placating outfits?

C'mon utron, don't be ridiculous. The woman on the left is easy.

Sheesh, do I have to point out *everything*?

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Wow, look at the shoes... I mean legs, look at the legs on that chick on the left there, oh yeah baby.

Olga Korbut, Ace. As in the National Lampoon story "Olga Korbut Had My Baby."

Just sayin' is all.

Is this where I'm supposed to talk about things I want her to do to my weenie now?

There's TWO women up there?

I see a babe on the left and ...

Well, that's all I see.

Is this where I'm supposed to talk about things I want her to do to my weenie now?

No, this is more the predator-prey time. So we talk about what we'd do with our weenies. Let me know if you need any more help, Pseu.

Oh, and I've been to Appleton, WI. Let's just say there's no high finance going on there.

The librarian look dosen't work without glasses. Isn't there some middle ground between Brazilian showgirl and male Ape Management functionary from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes?

"Isn't there some middle ground between Brazilian showgirl and male Ape Management functionary from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes?'

Yes, that would be called, "The Real World."

I mean, please. On her worst day ever, the woman who was considered by all to be the Ho of my company (and who eventually ran off with her married boss) wore more than the chick on the left. This Ho wasn't taken seriously in her little sundresses, and for good reason.

On the other hand, both my boss and I have been promoted in the last year, working as scientists for a conservative non-profit organization, and we've never come in looking as mannish as the woman on the right. And we never will. I wear red lipstick, dark nail polish, and you can actually see the difference between my waist and my boobs. These things are not incompatible with modest business suits.

The one on the left should be laughed at if she wears that anywhere but a bar. The one on the right should be taken immediately to a good gay male hairdresser and be shown how to buy business suits that fit.

*gurgle*

*must keep silent, not be annoying, stay out of jail*

Sure, but is there a middle ground between a Brazillian wax and a trim when wearing a short skirt?

I think not.

Short Skirts Don't Mix With High Finance

Um. High finance would be exactly what it takes to mix with the one on the left.

ARE MINI SKIRTS MAKING A COMEBACK? and remember the joke? MINI MOUSE WEAR MICKEY SKIRTS?

It is interesting what chameleons some women are. Those might as well be pics of two different women.

Kimberly, I've never had a gay male hairdresser who ever did a good job on my hair, or who wasn't too rough.
If they don't cut it too short, they rake your ear off with the comb and shove your head around like its a gearshift.

Gaagh, I actually clicked on the craptastic article. I feel degraded by having to pick through this exercise in journalistic busy work. I feel like I am reading a high school newspaper.

I loved the caption for our sexy, not sexy demonstration photo. Priceless.

I also think the paragraph which states that men can also dress sexy is painfully tacked together. Yes, men can dress sexy in the office by wearing open buttons? Maybe in the 70's, Meena. If I want to impress the receptionist, I either wear my coat of many colors or a polo that shows off my gun collection, if ya know what I am saying.

Second chance reaction to photo caption: Thanks for clearing that up.
