Tis the Season for Office Holiday Party Hook Ups

Office holiday parties might be pared down this year because of the recession, but any gathering of a group of co-workers drunk on egg nog and the holiday spirit will lead to the inevitable inter-office hook up. At Avalanche, LLC, owner of leading online dating sites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com, we wondered which co-worker our members have been coveting but never made a move on because of office rules and politics. Provided with the right setting - like a relaxed office party with plenty of free flowing liquor – we asked who they would want to go home with that night.

“According to statistics from a Pew Internet & American Life Project, 38% of Americans in marriages or long term relationships reportedly met at work or school,” said Shira Zwebner, Relationship Advisor for Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com. “With that figure in mind, two people engaging in some drunken debauchery at the office holiday party will definitely be fodder for Monday morning office cooler gossip. But, it could also be the beginning of love, a relationship and even a life-long commitment.”

In a new survey of thousands of singles nationwide, we asked: With the recession many of you won’t be having office holiday parties this year. But, if you were, whom would you end up hooking up with?

Following are the complete results:

WOMEN MEN
Single Boss 23.3% 10.7%
Married Supervisor 3.3% 3.6%
Hot male co-worker 63.3% 3.6%
Sexy female co-worker 6.7% 60.7%
Someone you Supervise 3.3% 21.4%
The receptionist 3.3% 17.9%
Mailroom Guy 3.3% 3.6%
