This may sound strange but i just want to know if anyone else out there feels the same.

I am always attracted to people in management positions that i find it hard to settle for a guy with a normal position in a job.

I'm 25 and i develope crushes whether on my male managers/supervisers or a manager at a restaurant, even if they aren't much to look at, there's just something about a man with authority which really turns me on.

I have tried dating non management guys but get bored and feel no spark.

Why??

kittikat agony auntHi, I also am attracted to men in authority...Not so much management, but I have a thing for cops like you wouldn't believe. My fiance now was a cop for 12 years when I met him. I've also had a thing for older men. I too have often felt drawn to some of my male supervisors over the years. I think that you probably respect and appreciate the fact that they're in that position for a reason. It takes drive, motivation, commitment and to get to the top. There's also a certain type of person who makes a good manager, it's a personality style. It's all very sexy to be around a man who knows what he wants and works for it. He can make the rules and break them, it's very cool. Now, I wouldn't write off those who aren't there yet, you never know...Those "management" types you love so much have to start somewhere :-) Try to be more open, you don't want to keep your choices so limited! Also, be careful about forming relationships with supervisors or anyone who could potentially make your work environment sucky. People do weird things when the heart is at work and no matter how nice and well intentioned they may seem, if something goes wrong in the relationship it could definately make your job miserable. Take Care!

You're attracted to confidence and people who have worked their way up into a position of authority generally have confidence and ambition. Henry Kissinger said the ultimate aphrodisiac is power, but it's the qualities that go the person there that's really the turn-on. I don't think there's anything wrong with being attracted to a man with confidence (not arrogance - learn the difference) but like with any attraction, make sure there's compatibility, integrity, and substance to back it all up. You will find yourself attracted to several people over your lifetime but that doesn't mean you act upon it. It has to be the right person, the right time, and the right situation. Many times when you're attracted to someone you can just have a crush on them and leave it at that, make it a fun thing. But determine the must-have qualities you want in a man and then once you find someone who has those qualities and it's the right time and situation, then go for it. Oh, and don't worry about their looks, if they are attractive to you from the inside out, it doesn't matter.
