Go ahead and bat those big blues (or browns)

Should a smart and sexy woman use her physical attributes to help advance her career goals? Heck yes, I say. This doesn’t mean she should have an affair with the head of the company, wear itsy bitsy dresses or see-through blouses. It does mean flirting just enough to get the attention of the opposite—and sometimes very gullible–sex, wearing classy clothes that complement her great figure when she’s making a presentation to an important client and pretending her looks are sharper than her mind when she wants to obtain valuable information. Most businessmen think they’re smarter than women, which, in fact, is not the case. It’s pretty easy to outsmart many of them, at least emotionally.

A former boss–tall, sexy and quick–was so good at using her feminine wiles, she was repeatedly promoted. She wasn’t especially brilliant at her job but she was a great deal smarter than her boss, so she played it right. She also was sharp enough to surround herself with women who were brighter than she was so she’d look good.

One female TV personality constantly bats her eyelashes at her male co-host, practically sits on his lap during the show, shows off her long legs on air and gives male guests all kinds of coy glances. The only thing I fault her for is pretending she’s not using her looks to her advantage.  Of course she is, as well she should.
