Does this cartoon actually represent how a significant number of working women perceive men they work with in corporate America?


Well, yeah. If you ignore all the nuances, of course they look exactly the same.
Attractive Man has good social skills. Look at him. He’s passing Susan’s desk, gives a shout out, moves on. Probably to give the same shout out to Lisa, and Beth, and hell, Susan again on the second lap.
Unattractive Man probably doesn’t have the easygoing social skills the AM has. He most likely stood across the room staring at Susan for 20 minutes before approaching her. He’s not about to pay a compliment and move on. He’s got a grip in the divider, showing he has no intention of moving on if she were to engage him. UM isn’t creepy because he’s unattractive. He’s creepy because he’s being creepy.
There’s absolutely truth to this. I work in a setting where the majority of the staff is male. There are some men who I’m comfortable engaging in certain behaviors and conversations with that I’m not with others. It has a lot to do with familiarity and personal rapport and attractiveness does play into it as well. I can’t lie. We’ve had male staff disciplined for sexual harassment for engaging in behavior that other male staff routinely engage in with the same woman who reported the incident. I know it’s confusing but there are different boundaries for different people.
Yes, but, lets consider this from a different angle. It is a well established fact that people help attractive people more than unattractive people. They will even die for them, to save the genetics. Go ahead, look it up, it is a fact. It is not a bad thing, but rather, we have taken a bad view of it. We cheapened beauty, those with it took it for granted, now we are all annoyed by it. But lets nit forget for better worse, right now is the most beautiful reality will ever be, and its ugly.
Yeah, that's true.
Even the questions here from women reflect this reality.
That's sad. It shouldn't be that way. I don’t believe women are inherently bad or uncaring humans. There must be something causing it. Perhaps, it is a combination of the schools, the media that seems to always trying to put fear into us such as news 24/7 teaching us to believe there is a pedophile hiding behind every tree when actually they are very rare, and movies and TV implying that most men have evil intent whenever they are trying to be nice.
"There must be something causing it.¨
Well, the graphic is a bit of a hyperbole from the manosphere, but that basic dichotomy is due to evolution.
In short, we are receptive to people we find attractive who find us attractive.
We are not receptive to people we do not find attractive.
Here's a typical example:
Girls, has a creepy guy ever hit on you? ↗
The question only mentioned creepy guys yet "creepy" guys wouldn't be much different than normal guys; indeed, they might even be less inclined to "hit on" a girl.
Yet, this girl is bothered by "creepy" guys but, implicitly, she has no problem with normal guys. She complains in her question about the "creepy" guys. And, what makes them "creepy" - that she's not attracted to them.

This is true to an extent. The line between cute and creepy can be impacted by attractiveness. But women can also turn on hot men if they don't hit it.
Absolutely. Seen this first hand.
https://youtu.be/PxuUkYiaUc8Unfortunately I think this cartoon is true and represents reality. The more attractive you are the better you get treated.
yes, its reality now, just listen and look around you, a very elderly man can say a lot of things and most will just laugh it off,
And you forgot to mention all the times he's been in prison for murder.
Men haven't changed significantly in almost a century but women have become unpredictable, unreliable land mines.
Definitely. It's unfortunate, but that's the world we live in. No way to change it.
There is a difference between how a female co-worker would react if she saw a Johnyy Depp or Brad Pitt looking co-worker and got noticed/approached by them OR someone who looks like a monkey!
That represents how it often is with some women. Perhaps up to 10% of the time.
This cartoon is spot on.
Yeah, that's the world alright.
That's actually eerily accurate.
100%
Yeah I’d say so
