Lighthearted obvs…

DD and I have been watching Scrubs and I remember how much I used to have a huge crush on Zach Braff when I was younger. I just googled him and he hasn’t aged well and also now find his character really annoying in Scrubs (and now I really fancy Dr Cox 😂). I did also read that he dated the very gorgeous Florence Pugh so maybe he has hidden depths (although the 17 year age gap I found a bit ick inducing too).

Craig Charles?! Jesus I didn't think anyone would have ever found him attractive anyway :o

I know 😩 I was about 15 and for some reason found him funny in Red Dwarf.
l have no idea what I was thinking.

@TooBigForMyBoots no, I haven't, is it good? Now I think about it, I may have been put off him by that lockdown drama he did with Sharon Horgan. He played such an utter dickhead and was perhaps too convincing!

I am enjoying the fact that with 99% of these men it's not their looks that put us off them but serious character flaws/traits.

A good man is attractive no matter what his age.

You can’t think Tom Cruise has aged well. His interventions have left him looking like a stuffed hamster.

Anyway he ditched his DD for Scientology - which has to be the biggest ick ever.

I saw him on Graham Norton a year or 2 ago and he had very puffy hamster style cheeks, but have to concede looked pretty good in Maverick.
However agree the scientology stuff and his treatment of past wives and daughter are more off putting.

Orlando Bloom still looks good
rob Lowe still looks great

Absolutely 👌🏼
Shame most men don't think like that. A thread like this would be all about looks.

Dean Cain for sure. Loved him in Superman and Lois, now his twitter feed is the most ick ever

Anthony Kiedis from red hot chilli peppers. Fancied him so much as a teen. Now he’s just a dirty old man with a moustache hanging round with young girls

Nearly every man mentioned on this thread is with or has recently been with a much younger woman/women....

I’ve realised that men see a 40-year-old man with a 20-year-old girlfriend and think, “wow, if he can pull a woman that age, then he must have something about him”.

Whereas women look at the same couple and think, “ugh, sleazy creep. I’ve gone right off him now”.
