Liked the article up until #10.  Not saying this couldn't/doesn't happen, but was anyone else distracted by the photo used? I hear people say that if you want to meet a "nice girl" you should go to church, but I don't see this kind of picture on their website.  I know it was likely used in jest, but it made me feel a bit like I was running a creepy executive escort service instead of a coworking space.  Sorry, I have a tough enough time getting people to take us seriously as it is, this just struck a chord.

 

Maybe I am just getting old. Or maybe the week has just dragged on too long.  Time to start the weekend early.

 

Thanks & God Bless,

I too thought "Humm" when I saw the picture, " Is this about coworking or office romance?" Maybe that was the point of the picture. The article was decent, maybe I too am getting old! LOL!

Good article and I agree that you should never need sex to sell anything. Ever. While I get the poke (no pun intended) I did get a little spur being someone who helped found a space.

Well, the fact that we're talking about it serves its purpose,  I guess.

And technically it's true - you are more likely to find romance in a coworking space than at home.  But maybe your spouse might have a problem with that. :)

Cheers,
Anca.
