Objectively, I'm not unattractive, I'm average. But women deem 80% of men to be unattractive. Therefore, most men are in danger of being accused of sexual harrassment.
Do you just have a database of this stuff that you copy and paste from?
He was unattractive, plain and simple. When you're an unattractive man, even saying "good morning" to a woman is sexual harrassment. But not saying it is also sexual harrassment, for failing to acknowledge her. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Welcome to the new America!
You are right, Sexual Harrassment means "No sexual attraction"
No. Any given woman finds 80% of men to be unattractive. And each woman has her own, unique 80%.
Not necessarily. While there are preferences in things like facial hair, most male traits are uniform in attractiveness to women, like height (6'0" or taller) and muscles (six-pack abs and such). There are also men that are universally attractive to all women; they get hot, steamy sex on a first date even after taking a woman to McDonald's on a city bus. Now, they never have to worry about sexual harassment charges, except in extremely rare circumstances.
The rest of us have to play it safe, to avoid getting ourselves MeToo'ed and our careers ruined, deservedly or otherwise.

You know, I'm a guy who successfully dated and then married one helluva woman after a whirlwind three-month courtship. But one thing's for sure. I never got laid on the first date. Nor did I try, at least once I got out of adolescence. If that's what you deem to be successful dating, then small wonder you're sitting at home alone on your Saturday nights.
Here you can't get out of the starter's blocks when it comes to relationships, yet you're offering up a bunch of pseudo-sociological nonsense rather than listen to some basic common sense. Maybe you should stop nursing these ridiculous and convoluted theories and start listening to those who have actually been successful in this realm of life.
Which can still create an unfair environment depending on the business type.
There are already plenty of unfair relationships in the business world due to nepotism (hiring relatives). This has been pointed out time and time again.

Right. So it matters very little that people date in the workplace, as far as favoritism is concerned. There are already tons of people in business who are relatives of each other, or married to each other. Owners tend to hire their relatives, sons, daughters, wives, spouses of sons and daughters, nieces, nephews, etc. There is definitely favoritism even if you subtract workplace dating.
The McDonald's CEO was fired for having a consensual relationship with a co-worker. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/b...ceo-fired.html
These kinds of workplace romances are becoming more unacceptable at many companies and not just with management. Every company I've worked for strongly discourages inter-office relationships of this kind.
This is a warning to be careful how you conduct yourself at work because what was once accepted or even encouraged could now get anyone in trouble or even terminated.
It is never a good idea to seek out co-workers for romantic relationships. You go to work to do the jobs you are assigned, not to fish in the company pond.
I say take it a step further and don't be friends with coworkers. Keep your work and personal lives separate.
