I choose to believe they’re flustered and awkward from how gorgeous I am

Go with this, if only for your ego.
It took 2 years before my tax partner would look directly at me when having a conversation. I’m cute, but I definitely act like I’m gorgeous.
I’m not sure if it’s misogyny, social awkwardness, hierarchy, a mix of all three, or something else entirely. Some of my female colleagues have similar experiences with these men, but most of the men will make eye contact and speak with other women (especially more senior women). These men are also normal to me over email.
Not all (or even most) of the male partners and associates I have worked with are like this, but it happens often enough that it is very demoralizing and alienating. To give so much time and energy to servicing the clients and matters of certain partners/senior associates and then get this kind of treatment in return really sucks.
Might have a crush on you
Yeah if they find you more attractive or if you have large ya knows maybe they are just awkward and look away instead of at you
I believe they think you’re pretty, and they’re just embarrassed or shy or honestly just not sure what to do with those feelings because they are probably attracted to you but simultaneously trying to respect you as a professional. They probably don’t want you to notice that they think you’re pretty so they just don’t look at you. Just my guess though!
This is weird, never happened to me. Is that person autistic or have Aspergers?
How do you present at work? Do you project confidence or have a small presence? Do people in public generally speak to you?
