For the record, I don't think talking about M and R with members of the opposite sex is, on its face, a bad or wrong thing. Its when the convo turns to your own M/R AND a sense that OM/OW is "on your side" and your SO is not, is when the danger really happens. Having someone give you advice on things to do to improve your M can be perfectly fine. A woman would be able to give a man perspectives that he couldn't get talking to another man. There is danger though in too much empathy/sympathy and not enough critical thinking. Talking about M/R issues with co-workers is dangerous because there already is a base of empathy, you both work in the same field. The same could be said for gyms, as the two people could have similar life motivations.
