What do these men have in common that attracts lovely young women to them so frequently? I assume they have magnetic personalities. Nick Knowles has another one. 30 years younger. It's probably just me but it makes me shudder.

Large pay packets of course!

As in Greg Wallace? I dunno, but I would Blush he just seems like he would treat a lady well Grin plus he can cook 🤷

Pipandmum · 20/08/2019 21:06

They may be lovely guys (who knows?) but mainly they are celebrities. That’s the attraction.

IDontDrinkTea · 20/08/2019 21:07

Let me reword your question to make it more accurate: What do these millionaires have in common that attracts lovely young women to them so frequently?

Hmm
HeddaGarbled · 20/08/2019 21:07

Fame and fortune, duh!

HellonHeels · 20/08/2019 21:07

No idea other than a huge wallet. They all make me feel slightly queasy. Apart from GreGGG who just gives me the rage.

wowfudge · 20/08/2019 21:08

Gregg can cook? Thought he was just a costermonger as Terry Wogan used to say. Fame and money are aphrodisiacs.

A greengrocer, a baker and a plumber? They must have something very special. I haven't noticed lines of of young beauties queuing outside Tesco or Wicked to meet similar.

Oh dearie me. I absolutely would not, with any of these men, especially Gregg, he makes me shudder, my fanjo would go into lock down if it thought I was going to get jiggy with him!

I think it's more about what the women have in common because frankly most young women I know would recoil.

janesmore · 20/08/2019 21:28

I've met Nick Knowles. Rude and entitled. Horrible man.

Pinkywoo · 20/08/2019 21:35

In the words of Mrs Merton to Debbie McGee, "what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"!

I have never hidden the fact that I am a massive Gregg Wallace fan...

Dunno why. Makes me smile, looks like he’d take me out for a big glass of wine and not tutt.

And also, just.....something.

Dunno, I just super love Gregg

CakeNinja · 20/08/2019 22:06

My friend regularly works with gregggg in foodie circles. Says he’s a rude pig Grin
The 3 of them make my skin crawl!

Jeffter · 20/08/2019 22:18

Gregg Wallace is an absolute bellend, sexist and entitled, very much "don't you know who I am?" I really don't understand the attraction. Also I've never seen that he can cook, he's not a chef.

I've heard before that NK is a knob which made me sad as I always used to fancy him.

Who's Paul H?

mnahmnah · 20/08/2019 22:20

Nick knowles is a complete knob. I have personal experience of him and one of his sons. Who was also a complete knob. I growl whenever he comes on TV. If you want a good laugh, look at the reviews for his album on amazon

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/08/2019 22:21

But, @Pinkywoo they were very happy. All the men in the title seem to run through wife's and girlfriends like they're being chased by a bull.

mnahmnah · 20/08/2019 22:23

Paul Hollywood

GCAcademic · 20/08/2019 22:23

Well, none of them appears to have a sparkling or even vaguely pleasant personality, so I’m truly at a loss to understand what the attraction is.

user764329056 · 20/08/2019 22:24

Can confirm GW a complete twat, loves himself and expects everyone else to

PennyNotSoWise · 20/08/2019 22:26

Uurgh, I saw Nick K's new GF in the news earlier. I know they're both consenting adults and to each their own, but it just looks so fucking tragic.

If it's fame the women are after though, wouldn't they go for someone a bit more relevant? Nick Knowles is hardly Chris Hemsworth, is he? Or is it literally just to get their face in the paper Confused

Bobbybobbins · 20/08/2019 22:26

They all seem to cultivate an 'alpha male' type of persona. As well as all being rich and famous.

So - if you had to - who would you choose? For me it would have to be Nick Knowles.

Jeffter · 20/08/2019 22:27

Ah @mnahmnah thank you, I knew it'd be obvious when I saw it Grin

Teaandchocolatecake · 20/08/2019 22:34

I don't like him but I do think PH is vaguely attractive and somewhat charismatic, the other two make my toes curl - and not in a good way!

NK I find revolting, mainly because he appears to take himself so seriously and no doubt believes that his girlfriends are with him for his personality and looks rather than his wallet.

I wouldn't go near any of them (or they me actually, I'm too old!), I think they're all delusional creeps.
