In a manufacturing facility
a woman who would not elicit a second glance on the street is often treated as if she were a fashion queen. Literally all they have to do is not weigh 200 lbs and have decent hair and they could have their pick of a healthy handful of “happily married” men. I have always understood this; I call it the dandelion syndrome. On a pile of horseshit, a dandelion is a welcome splash of color and life. In your lawn, it is a pestilence. I am constantly amazed that nobody else seems to see this.

Computer centers too.
I bet!
Any workplace staffed by average joes will experience this. I’ve seen it called the “real life: 4; in the office: 8” phenomenon.
lol.
Nice! I like it.
(Note: as typical, my readers are all on this. Where I’m working today, not so much)
“Hawt for insurance” is a standard phrase around here. Always excepting HR, where the worthlessness of that department (and they are hapless) is inversely proportional to the quotient of nubile female HR “professionals.”
About 20 years ago I worked as a consultant, there were a number of consulting companies that had people there, but the two big ones where the company I worked for and another whose name rhymes with Carthur Canderson. CC had lots of attractive young women, and with most of them you’d gaze into their pretty brown eyes and know there wasn’t a damn thing happening behind them. We used to joke that you sent the CC people to meetings to make a good impression, and you gave the work to my company.
Yep, at my place they say “she’s railroad pretty”.
“I may not be a 10 but the boys say I glean up good.”

That’s all we ask, darlin’.
“Iraqi Fox”
“Field Hawt”
“Desert 10”
You should see the disgusting hags I’ve been ogling lately. Cream of the crop is a very broad term, depending on the environment.
I have to disagree about the cutoff line.
200lbs is the new “curvy”. If she has most of her teeth and bathes weekly at least one of the morlocks I work with will be trying to bang her like a broken screen door.
heh heh
I do like “Dandelion Syndrome.”
In the Marines, for some, mysterious, reason the further you got from the states the hotter woman marines became. A gal who wouldn’t get a second glance in North Carolina was quite the hottie in Japan.
Scrawled on porta-john in Kuwait:
Army women… one plane ride away from being ugly again.
I was about to say that you would be amazing at what draws attention on deployment, but it looks like I got beat to it.
Brian and Hale,
We had that in the Navy too. Especially applicable to being at sea, or if you were stationed/deployed to the Far (and or) Middle East.
It always amazed me, especially while in Japan or Korea, that you could have the most stunning Asian gals show up at the local watering holes, but the average “round-eye” Jane seemed to get a disproportionate amount of attention.
It should not be a surprise these were usually the same guys who while on liberty call (just after we pulled into some foreign port or another) went straight to the first American franchised fast food joint they could find, vice sampling the local food and drink.
Supply and demand!
Lol. Free market fanny.
Brian D, you may be mixing meraphors here. Sounds like you have a “500-mile rule” going there at Naha.
We called it a “Plant 10, you know, a four anywhere else”.
