Intersting findings!

Gee, here's a surprise: Men are more apt than women to flirt. According to a survey by Randstad USA, 41 percent of working men concede that they have flirted with a co-worker, compared with 32 percent of women. Men are three times as likely to nurture a secret crush on a fellow worker (12 percent versus 4 percent). Women also are judged more likely than men to form lasting relationships at work. The “flirtiest co-workers” live in Western U.S. states. Indeed, it seems workers have been getting more promiscuous on the job. Vault Inc. found that nearly 28 percent of workers had sexual escapades at work in 2006, including trysts in conference rooms, elevators and bathrooms.

Hi Faizal,

It is more intriguing than interesting. If 41% of the men flirted with their co-workers and only 32% of the women flirted with their co-workers, from where did 9% of the men get women to flirt with?

Dear Ranga Raj,

The article reports that 41% of men admitted to have flirted, compared to 32% of women admitting to flirt. I don't see any contradictions here.

I hope you get the point?

Hi,

Actually, they are equal because 41% of men flirt with women, and obviously, 41% of women flirt back. About 32% of women flirt with men, and obviously, 32% of men respond in kind.

I think so, what do you say? Hahahaha, kidding.
