Not that I'm justifying it, but I wonder if the deal would even have gotten to the closing table if Heidi had been male?

- danudey 12y agoIf we assume that it was going to go through if she was receptive to the deal, then it's probably safe to assume that it would have gone through otherwise. It's not good business sense to make a bad business deal just to get someone to touch your junk. If you're working for a large company with lots of money, you either find women yourself or find a way pay for them on the company card.
- drumdance 12y agoOh I agree completely that sexual attraction shouldn't be the reason for a bad deal, but OTOH consider that there are a lot of very attractive women in sales who are able to subtly use that attraction as leverage. Not that they promise sex or anything remotely that overt, only that a lot of men think with the wrong head and will go out of their way to please an attractive woman. That includes signing a deal they may not sign otherwise. I don't fault women for this state of affairs.
