    Sexy Male Managers?

    Not hardly. The article states "A man in a powerful position is generally regarded as inherently sexy, and that sexiness is not viewed as provocative or in conflict with his professional responsibilities." In what office is the author working??? I can state with 100% certainty that the uppper management in my East Coast banking company are NOT SEXY. On a whole, they are middle aged, grey-haired, mostly bald, out of shape white guys. Nothing that would stand out and scream hottie, and I'd really want to poke my eyes out if any one of them came into the office shirtless or (God forbid) in leather pants.
