"Don't **** where you work" is a pointless restriction because no one ever follows it, and nor should they.
If you work in the white collar world, chances are that 75%-95% of your waking hours are spent at work, with a mixture of males and females, and your interaction with those coworkers can be as intimate as team projects that last late into the night or work parties where the alcohol flows freely. It's not much different than the setup you have for meetings peers in college.
No, I'm not in a work relationship, but basic reasoning tells me that the next woman I develop an interest for will most likely be at wherever I work at the time.
If you work in such close proximity that you see each other every single day and you then hook up and things don't work out and she hates your guts or falls in love with you and you want nothing to do with her...that could end up hell.
It's fine as long as you keep you perosnal crap out of work, but that is obviously not going to be the case for many people...especially younger folk who are still finding themselves.
My business would not be able to function productively if everyone did not have lives away from their work spaces.

Nope. I work in male dominated teams, always have... and I follow it.
But then, I've never ever, had the slightest interest in any of them - regardless of how much time is spent with them.

Yeah, some people do follow that closely. Work relations would be fine if everyone could keep the sex and romance out of the office. But many can't separate the 2. If something bad happens in the relationship, it gets brought over into the office. Then there's the gossip that will spread.
It just has a way of potentially being really messy. All relationships come with that risj, but best not to risk your source of income over it.
While I've never dated coworkers (I'm in a female dominated profession), the same applies when becoming friends with coworkers.... I really try to avoid doing that because it has always ended up causing a lot of problems for me in the end.
I did date 2 guys who work in my field though who don't work at my site. With one of them (I kid you not) I ended up interviewing for a position at his site and he was one of the people interviewing me! The other (again not kidding), ended up getting transferred to my site 1 day a week!
