It's just common sense for people to protect their future/careers. And it's not just men that think that way - from the article:
> A late-40-something in private equity said he has a new rule, established on the advice of his wife, an attorney: no business dinner with a woman 35 or younger.
- danesparza 8y agoYeah. That's good advice ... because (#metoo movement aside) WHO HAS "BUSINESS" DINNERS ALONE WITH MARRIED PEOPLE? This is something completely different than having dinner with a group of people.
- netcan 8y agoI do.

- dsfyu404ed 8y agoI would wager that if you send N (where N>=2) employees to go do something, like drive somewhere and go meet with a client, go remove hardware from a datacenter rack, man a booth at some trade show, volunteer at some university event, etc, etc. and the logistics are such that it will be convenient for each of them to eat a meal or meals, possibly at a restaurant, there is a very good chance that if they go out to dinner they will do so together. Ideally gender and marital status would have no effect on whether or not that is acceptable.
- wl 8y ago> WHO HAS "BUSINESS" DINNERS ALONE WITH MARRIED PEOPLE? Would you give it a second thought if it were two men or two women?
- FilterSweep 8y agoYes. The optics look bad with N=2; namely, you wouldn’t have any controls over bribery or other coercion
