I find one of my clients breathtakingly gorgeous. I'm married so would never act on it, but it's noticeable enough to impact my behavior. I.e. this person doesn't have a ton of budget to spend with me, but I find myself going out of my way to help them because just wow

I find this endearing and dangerous. Make sure you aren't perceived as crossing any lines. You may be unconsciously flirting which can come back to bite you.

Oh absolutely. Before I fell in love with my partner I was very direct... I'd never let an opportunity like this go. This person is a single parent as well, and I love kids. Wouldn't hesitate if I was single

Hey Now....

I'm curious. Does your client know of their good looks. Do your clients peers know? And do people treat them drastically differently?

I had a client that is a 9 or 10 among 3s and 4s. Client had a very powerful presence because of that. Was also actually good performer besides just good looks. But I feel like the good looks was a double edge sword for them as many would attribute their position due to the looks which diminishes their work.

I also have a managing partner that is good looks. Everyone in our practice knows and agrees. I think both genders are actually enamored. Even had some clients specifically ask for this partner.

In my case both genders are in my examples.

Is this a woman or man op ? I’m guessing a woman because of the way you mention a single parent situation . Usually women frown on that for men

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.
