I don't want to socialize with or date my co-workers. I don't want to play politics to get promoted or have to befriend my boss or navigate office-relationships where I risk getting fired for offending or rejecting the wrong person. I also have had repeated problems with female co-workers trying to cheat on their partners with me, which I do not miss.

For me, working from home removed that problems and got me 3 promotions in 6 years. Because what matters now is my work, and I can do it without being distracted or worrying about upsetting a co-worker who will report me for sexual harassment because I rejected their advances.
