People date people with all sorts of motives.

People have been marrying people for money, status, or influence since the dawn of time.

What motives do you define as appropriate and what gives you the right to define them for others?

If someone wants to date their superiors then honestly, its the superior who's most likely to be acting unethically.

They literally say in the post their main motive for dating in the workplace is career advancement and door opening. Thats not dating anymore thats basically a job. If you want to treat your love life as a carreer knock your socks off but the vast majority of people have more personal motives for dating and love making than climbing the corporate ladder.

Everyone, stop feeding the troll

I'm not trolling.

I'm genuinely surprised that the fediverse is so sexually constrained.

As I've said elsewhere in this thread. People date people for all sorts of devious, manipulative reasons, and the majority of those reasons are born of self interest. When selecting a desirable partner, we're hard wired to desire partners who can provide social stability.
