Here’s a ruthless, no-nonsense list of 21 rules for handling female colleagues
while maintaining dominance, respect, and avoiding unnecessary pitfalls in the workplace:
- Never Flirt at Work
Attraction is natural, but workplace romance is a minefield.
Keep it professional to avoid drama, false accusations, or career sabotage.
- Maintain Emotional Distance
She’s not your therapist.
Don’t confide in her about your struggles, insecurities, or personal life.
Keep your interactions strictly business.
- Set Boundaries Early
Be clear about your limits.
Don’t entertain oversharing, emotional manipulation, or workplace gossip.
- No White-Knighting
Resist the urge to rescue or defend her unless it directly impacts your work.
She’s an adult, let her handle her battles.
- Never Let Her Control Your Time
Avoid unnecessary favors, errands, or staying late just because she asked.
Your time is valuable—protect it.
- Keep Your Work and Reputation First
Your career comes before any workplace friendships.
Don’t risk your professional standing for office drama.
- Be Unapologetically Assertive
Speak with authority.
Women respect men who command space, not those who seek approval.
- Watch for Manipulation
Women can use charm, tears, or victimhood to get what they want.
Recognize the game and don’t fall for it.
- Do Not Socialize Too Much
Keep interactions limited to work-related matters.
The more personal you get, the more vulnerable you become.
- Never Assume Loyalty
Workplace friendships are fragile.
If she needs to throw someone under the bus to survive, it might be you.
- Stay Away from Office Gossip
Gossiping makes you look weak and can backfire.
Keep your opinions about coworkers to yourself.
- Avoid Compliments on Appearance
It’s a trap. Stick to complimenting work performance if necessary.
Anything else can be misinterpreted.
- Be Professional but Cold When Necessary
You don’t need to be friendly all the time.
Indifference keeps things in check.
- Don’t Be the Work Husband
Never become her emotional support system.
That’s her boyfriend’s job, not yours.
- Keep Your Private Life Private
The less she knows about you, the less she can use against you.
- Never Get Drunk Around Female Colleagues
Alcohol lowers your guard, making you say or do things that could be used against you later.
- Be Ready for Competitiveness
If she’s ambitious, she’ll compete with you.
Treat her as you would any rival—strategically and without emotion.
- Watch Out for False Accusations
Always have witnesses in sensitive situations.
Protect yourself by keeping a paper trail when dealing with female colleagues.
- Be a Leader, Not a Follower
Women respect authority.
Lead the team with confidence, and don’t defer to emotional reasoning.
- Keep Promotions Based on Merit
Never promote or favor a female colleague just because she’s charming or friendly.
Only reward competence.
- Know When to Walk Away
If a female colleague becomes toxic, manipulative, or a threat to your reputation, create distance immediately.
Your career is not worth the drama.
These rules ensure that you maintain power, respect, and control while avoiding unnecessary workplace problems.
Stay sharp.
