Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish is now meant to be the most fanciable male in the U.K right now amongst the more mature ladies, aka cougars! 😂

Does he do it for you? And are you 40+? 😂

Is Jack the one who said "best thing since sliced veg"

Or was that someone else? 😂

EarringsandLipstick · 13/04/2023 21:39

'Cougar' really 😳

This thread is offensive on so many levels, and the PP pointing out that if (mostly) male posters were objectifying a woman in the same way, they'd be torn apart is totally correct.

Don't fancy him but I'm a lifelong City fan & I love him - he's a great player and seems like a really genuinely nice person.

Have seen him interacting with young fans & in particular those with disabilities and he's amazing.

Mamadothehump · 13/04/2023 21:49

I'm 41 so don't fancy him personally but can understand why my teenage daughters would!!!

Passthecake30 · 13/04/2023 21:51

Yep, I may be encouraged to watch a bit of footie if he is on the pitch (48)

KezzaMucklowe · 13/04/2023 21:55

Another Arteta fan here. Pep isn't bad either.

Jenniferturkington · 13/04/2023 21:57

Yes. I’m 42 and a big fan. I’m a big fan of footballers generally though 😀

I think he’s lovely . Very handsome and I like his physique 😛

I am also old enough to be his mother. 🫢 😶

InTheSquare · 13/04/2023 22:01

Watched him play long before he was famous and no, he doesn't do it for me.

I dont really think its a great idea for a thread. If men were posting about and objectifying a woman we’d be the first to condemn them.

Awww boo bloody hoo

InSpainTheRain · 13/04/2023 22:11

I'm old enough to be his mother so I'm pleased he's considered handsome but nothing more.

Xrays · 13/04/2023 22:14

Nope. I’m 43 and he does an absolutely nothing for me. Too groomed!

User1234567891011121314 · 13/04/2023 22:15

Funny you should start a thread I didn't realise how many fancied him but I saw him the other day and said to DH oh he has a nice body 😁 and DH was not impressed hahah and yes I'm 40+!

tatteddear · 13/04/2023 22:16

Fit

Topee · 13/04/2023 22:20

I would but I’d prefer Jamie Redknapp if I could choose!

YetiTeri · 13/04/2023 22:20

Greensleevevssnotnose · 13/04/2023 21:03

Never heard of him. Back in a min after googling I guess he's a footballer

Really curious as to why you opened a thread with his name just to say you don't know who he is?

GreyTS · 13/04/2023 22:21

God no, all that grooming is incredibly off putting....for me, I'm sure he could literally care less what I think, besides I rather fancy Granit Xhaka so I clearly have terrible taste 😆 but JG is a terrific footballer and appears to be an very decent human and good craic too so can definitely understand the attraction

Silentmama · 13/04/2023 22:23

No.. he is grim.

sweatynoob · 13/04/2023 22:24

Beezknees · 13/04/2023 21:34

Meh, women can't even trust male police officers not to rape and murder them and it's getting worse. So I really don't care at this stage if the menz get their feelings hurt a little.

Not about hurting feelings. About lowering standards to the level of some men and then going onto criticise men.

AmberGer · 13/04/2023 22:25

Over 40 here.
He is a pretty boy.
He is very nice looking.
Do I fancy him? Nope

Nellieinthebarn · 13/04/2023 22:26

Just had to google who he is. And bless him and his little hairband, but I don't fancy him at all. But then I am probably old enough to be his mum.

Well put. 👏

Decent humans don't drink drive and cheat on their partners. Then there was his attendance at the Mendy party.
