I’m embarrassed by this. Had dinner with an old manager who started his own company that is hiring and paying much more. I wore something tight and low cut. I can’t believe I stooped to that level. 😣

Don’t beat yourself up over this- the dinner is over. Going forward I would be more conscious of your outfits because it’s impossible for another human to ignore another persons attire- ESPECIALLY as a female. Yes progress has been made for us females but that isn’t to be confused with how we should continue to carry ourselves. We must leverage the other qualities that enhance us rather than cater towards our sex appeal to entice others. That being said, as women we have an advantage. We have much better sex appeal, so use this sex appeal in a sensible, necessary way.

Remember that you aren’t where you are now because of a low cut outfit. From now on, make sure to recognize your audience before an important interaction and remind yourself to consider who you would want to see in that outfit. Don’t let this give you Sunday scaries!! (Even though it’s Thursday :) )

OP fuck that, it’s the real world. If you can manipulate your sex appeal into a man drooling over you and giving you an amazing job, do it but then also kill it at the job (which I’m sure you would). If someone is stupid enough to enter into a poor business relationship because of your tight and low cut outfit, that’s 100% their bad for being played like a fool.
