Ladies/men, who's your fantasy fella?

As I've gotten older my 'list' of fantasy men has shrunk considerably. I need some new eye candy! I definitely had a certain look I went for but over the years that's changed. Currently it only stands at 'Dave' who's just moved in across the road. Tall, shaved head, rides a motorbike and he looks good in his leathers!

Tell me your fantasy men so I can add to my list of one (or two).

@ISpyCobraKai and @coastergirl

I met Gethin Jones on a TV game show he presented a couple of years ago! He's LOVELY

I watched all the Spiderman films around Christmas time, between his role as Spiderman and his amazing performance in Tick Tick Boom, I fell wildly in love with Andrew Garfield. I've told DH I'm running off with him if I get the chance. Oddly DH doesn't seem worried 😂

Or a young Christopher Plummer.

My list of "fantasy" men hasn't changed over the years, it's my definition of "fantasy" that has changed.

My fantasy "used" to be daydreaming of jumping them when I was young but now at 51, it's actually meeting them and being in their presence that excites me.

Interestingly, I've fancied the same men since I was young:

David Sylvian
Steve Jansen (David's brother)
Ryuichi Sakamoto
David Bowie
Miguel Bosé (Spanish/Italian singer & actor)
Rufus Sewell

Seeing my list made me giddy in delight.
There's life in this older woman still 😉

Sparklingbrook · 14/02/2022 21:41

David Sylvian was very beautiful, I'm not googling to see what he's like now. We can both remain our 80s ages and looks.

Thank you for the picture of Chris Evans.

Every time someone mentions him and talks about his hotness, I keep thinking the DJ. I just think, "I suppose it's like Quality Street in that each one is someone's favorite." But I'm really wondering what I'm not seeing.

Now, I get it!

Lipsandlashes · 14/02/2022 21:48

Chris Evans (I’m begging you not to put the ginger mask up again!)
Jake Gyllenhaal
Henry Golding
Cillian Murphy

David Sylvian was very beautiful, I'm not googling to see what he's like now. We can both remain our 80s ages and looks.

He's nearly 64 now and seeing that he was unbelievably handsome in his youth makes it hard for many to see him age like a normal person. To me, he's still very cool with his long white hair. I know if I saw him walking down the street, I'd stop to notice him because he's still stylish.

His brother Steve has aged quite well and is still very handsome. As are Ryuichi and Rufus.

Bryan Ferry has been mine for years. So cool.

Gindrinker43 · 14/02/2022 21:53

I've been in love with Alan Alda since about 1982
David Tennant, I could listen to him read the phone book.

LadyLolaRuben · 14/02/2022 21:54

Tom Hardy

I think seeing the beautiful people of my teenage years now makes me feel sad. Because I'm no longer a teen and they are in their late 50s and 60s. Nick Rhodes, James Spader spring to mind.

With the exception of Rob Lowe who seems to be getting better with age.

MrPenguinsPoppers · 14/02/2022 22:41

Currently Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan, though only a bearded killer type Jamie. Don't like him clean cut.

I also have a bit of a thing for Kenny Doughty from Vera, Daniel Ricciardo (way to young but a girl can dream) and the man I refer to as my second husband James Hetfield. Aged liked a fine wine has papa het.

Zerrin13 · 14/02/2022 23:05

My current bit of eye candy is Jack Grealish. My kids think its disgusting because I'm 56!
