Personally, I get very pissed off when people pay attention to looks in the workplace.
It does sometimes give you an advantage in getting a job, and sometimes in advancement- and that is screwed up, but unfortunately it's true. But it
is terribly irritating to know you may have gotten it because of looks, instead of qualifications, and even worse to have other coworkers get jealous
and grumble that you only got where you are because you are good looking. No matter how much effort you put into doing the job well, that assumption
will always be made- which makes me livid that I don't get recognition for what I do!
I don't know what you mean by "using my looks"- if you got them, they are working for you. Unless you mean by being sexually provocative on
purpose- which won't get you any more respect, and could even put you in danger. Men tend to assume that if you are putting it out there visually,
you want to be taken, no matter what you say.
Do what you want, but even I find myself wondering if it isn't more for your own need for attention and confirmation of your attractiveness, that can
start to worry women at a certain age. Personally, I am much happier now that I am getting older and getting wrinkles and all that, because I hated
the attention, and can finally get some recognition for what I do!
