Women who cross their legs provocatively, wear short skirts or massage a man's shoulders at work get fewer pay raises and promotions, according to Friday's USA Today. According to a Tulane University study, the respondents who said they never engaged in such activity earned an average of three promotions, versus two for the group that had employed sexuality. 49 percent of those polled said they used flirty behavior to try to advance their careers.
