Aren't you in Europe though? I am not sure about their situation with this issue. It might be different from the one in the US.

That said... I went to the city of my grad alma mater (a big state school in the US) for the Presidents' Day weekend and got updated on gossip.

So many years ago I worked for one of the male professors as a TA. I found him of average attractiveness in terms of looks and of less than mediocre attractiveness in terms of personality. I cannot even describe him - he was so nondescript. He was a good catch for the department, so he negotiated a big perk as part of his job offer - his wife was offered a position, too. I do not remember whether it was a tenure track position or just a lecturer position. But at any rate, they worked for the same department, in the same building.

To make the long story short, one day his wife found a female student under his desk while he was sitting at the desk. A big scandal ensued, and in the course of the scandal it was discovered that he had a long list of affairs. How he managed to woo so many female students given his less than optimal attractiveness is beyond me. Clearly, there was something about him that was good and I just missed it in its entirety. He also barely talked, and in my experience, you have to be able to do at least some amount of small talk to fare well with women. So my only explanation of this phenomenon is that the problem was on my end - he simply did not find me in the least bit interesting so he did not care to talk to me, hence I remained unaware of his brilliance, sense of humor, and other positive attributes.

Result 1 - they got divorced.

Result 2 - he is still employed.
