Big softies: Men more likely to play cupid at work

by Rick Duncan on February 11, 2008

Dating and the workplaceIt’s that time of year when men start sweating and women start smiling: Valentine’s Day. And what better time to ask America’s hourly workforce if they’ve ever picked up Cupid’s bow and slung a candy heart-tipped arrow at a couple of co-workers?

According to a recent SnagAJob.com poll, 25 percent of male respondents said they’re tried to hook up a co-worker, while 21 percent of female respondents said they’ve tried to play workplace matchmaker. Of these romantic networking attempts, men were a bit more successful than women in making love connections: 18 percent to 16 percent, respectively. More than 3,000 respondents voted in the poll.

Surprised? Watch an episode of “Sex in the City” or “Cashmere Mafia” and pop culture stereotypes might suggest the poll results would be opposite. And remember, to hook up co-workers, you actually need to be working first. (Details…) Start your job search by location now.
