SEOUL (AFP) — Almost three-quarters of South Korean male office workers feel uncomfortable when female colleagues show too much leg or cleavage in the workplace, a survey has revealed.

A poll of 1,254 employees by the job portal site CareerNet found that 74 percent of men felt upset with the attire of their female co-workers.

Some 56 percent of them cited micro-miniskirts as their chief complaint, while 51 percent objected to excessive cleavage.

Girly men. That stuff at work is distracting.

And we’ve been defending these folks since 1950?

Bump to review pictures later.

Almost three-quarters of South Korean male office workers feel uncomfortable when female colleagues show too much leg or cleavage in the workplace, a survey has revealed.

In a separate survey, roughly 25% of South Korean male office workers reported that their male colleagues are homos.

I googled "korean hottie"...

[VicVega]

LOL.

[LottieDah]

If mini skirts and cleavage upset male Koreans then perhaps these men should start wearing longer skirts and less revealing tops.

I cannot make up my mind on this issue until we have more pictures.

Please sir, more pictures.

I can see your enthusiasm here... but dude... she is a little skanky... :)

In my best Adrian Monk imitation, that is very distracting ... her right breast is lower than her left. Gad! Such asymmetry!

[Unam Sanctam]

Good for them for supporting modest attire in the workplace. There is a time and place for everything. I guess a lot of Freepers don’t believe in modesty.

I’m gonna send my job application right away!

If it bothers them so much... why not show up to work with shorts and black socks?

That stuff has gone on way too long here in the U.S. as well. The slightest long gaze or, God forbid, comment, get's a man fired or at best, sent off to "re-education camps" as the libs/gays don't tolerate any imaginary slight.

Huge problem even in the churches in America, as even the "faithful" women and girls seem to believe that dressing like a slut, should be acceptable Sunday School attire.

I try to avoid artificial ingredients whenever possible. Those look like they were developed by Dow Chemical.

[MortMan]

Cleavage in miniskirts can be pretty devastating, IMO... ;-P

[pappyone]

I find this article hard to understand.

[WayneM]

My co-workers had a problem with cleavage in our office for a while, but after some polite discussion I bought a new belt.

[CougarGA7]

No wonder they are so ronery.

This is another situation where guilt is in the eye of the beholder.

I mean, this is too much cleavage for me . .

[pissant]

Upset??? I hope they really meant distracted.

[NonValueAdded]

Oh, I dunno. It depends on SK’s litigation level. With all that eye candy around if one wayward glance earns a hostile workplace environment suit, yeah, I’d be against it too. Here in the US, I’d find it very hard to handle.

[B-Chan]

I agree. This thread is useless without many — perhaps hundreds — of photos of young K-gals in revealing clothing.

LOL! Post of the day!

[Always Right]

More evidence is needed before judging this issue...

[B-Chan]

I’m crying right now.

[MEGoody]

Personally, I don’t think short skirts and clevage are appropriate for the office. If you’re a pole-dancer or something, then that might be appropriate work attire.

Or they could send those troublesome girls to my office!

The thing I hated most about going to Viet Nam (all of 1970) was that I missed a full year of mini skirts at home. I guess I'm still just a sex-starved squid at heart.

I knew at least one party-pooper would show up on the thread. :O)

That’s just weird. Mod will probably pull that one.

Proof that Kevlar is twice as strong as steel.

OMG where can I order that?

I don't care if she is a robot.

‘Tis a hard thing my FRiend.... modesty that is.

Have you gone shopping recently with wife or daughter?

Most of the crap sold today is immodest - at best. You have to look long and hard to find tops/skirts suitable for younger girls.

I’m not saying everyone needs to wear Mother Hubbard type duds, but a young girl aged to 12 shouldn't have to look like a sleazy hooker because that is all that can be found in the ‘major’ stores.

[hoosierham]

Exactly!

The new double standard for the last 20 years is the woman can "wear" revealing clothing and if anyone she doesn't like ,looks,then they are GUILTY of harassment!

I actually had a manager state"a real man would not react if that young lady walked by naked!"...????!!!(I'm not sure what type of man he meant;at least you might offer your jacket or something?) The young woman in question was showing lots of thigh and cleavage and became "uncomfortable" with the way people looked at her.

My view is:if you put on a display,expect people to look.

Just how much and what quality of work gets done when everyone is distracted by outlandish clothing or lack of it?

"....South Korean male office workers feel uncomfortable when female colleagues show too much leg or cleavage in the workplace, a survey.....

Simple solution: For greater comfort, wear looser pants to make room for the 'tent pole' (and bring a change of underwear in case of unexpected discharge).
