Since when did women or love make since? House is a classic a$$ and some women are attracted to them. It's the *Mommie Syndrome*. You see a grown man acting like a spoiled 8 year old boy and you just got to have him. (I am currently recovering from that disease and have to live with the disability of being married to an a$$.) I don't think House ever did respect her or anyone he's worked with. Occasionally someone bullied him into playing their way but House would just whine and fuss and take it out on everyone else that was around him. As for being a lunchroom joke, every boss I ever had has been a lunchroom joke. In my job I work with that person or I work around that person and I know the difference.
Have you always seen House as a "classic a$$" or a "spoiled 8 year old boy"? I haven't. I liked him very much in the first season, and for most of the second season as well. I could see why Cameron, Cuddy, and Stacy were attracted to him, and I think that's why the show built such an big female audience. In the episode where House and Cameron had that disastrous dinner date, we could see that House was genuinely trying to make an effort, and he was doing very well until Cameron foolishly pushed him into talking about their relationship. Even then, House's response to Cameron was more about what he saw as HIS flaws, rather than telling her he didn't like her. He pushed Stacy away rather than face the prospect of being hurt again, not because he didn't love her. He kept Cuddy's secret about the fertility injections. He had a couple of lovely, caring conversations with Cameron in the first season, and Stacy in the second season. He is quite capable of being a decent man, and the rebel attitude makes him that much more attractive, in my opinion.
However, in the last couple of seasons, he has changed for the worse, and I can't see how any woman could be attracted to him the way he is now. I can see women being attracted to
Hugh Laurie, but not to House. He has treated Cuddy in a horrible, demeaning way and he has done it publicly. But Cuddy has not only allowed him to demean her like that publicly, she has contributed to her own downfall as well by publicly stooping to his level, and even
below his level in the last episode.
I'm sorry that you have a bad boss. I'm fortunate, I guess, to have only known bosses who would never hand over their panties to a fellowship candidate to win a bet, let off stink bombs in an employee's office, or string wires across doorways for the sole purpose of causing bodily harm to another employee.
I think House and Cuddy bring out the worst in each other these days, and that is why I answered the way I did to the topic question, "Why can't House and cuddy get together?"
