He is beautiful

He truly looks gorgeous. I'd never seen it before. I see it now.

What's Brooklyn up to nowadays? First it was photography and then cooking?

He's also thick as mince which massively decreases his appeal IMO. Can't be doing with a thicko.

He's made a lot of money out of being a thicko 🙄

He seems like a decent bloke, but the way he has shmoozed with the Saudis and Qataris is despicable. I don’t find him attractive physically either.

Just a bit I'd like him all 😂

What attitude are you thinking of?
I've seen him play lots and apart from that one incident he was better behaved than most of his era. Did I miss something?

He admitted to it.

He is a serial cheater. He’s just been lucky to afford NDAs. I’ve read Tom Bowers book House of Beckham, it’s all in there and never been challenged by him.

I think he’d look lots better if he stopped dying his hair and descended slowly into a silver fox.

What yourself 🤣

What I said. What do you mean?

I couldn’t care less whether he had an affair. It’s up to them what they do, if he did. I still maintain she could have done fine well from divorcing him, so I’m surprised she didn’t.

Not my type at all. I like rough old bikers.

This isn't what this thread is about. People are going to find members of the opposite sex sexually attractive. It's human nature and nothing will get in the way of that. He's sitting in a provocative pose in this picture, probably with the intention of being seen as sexually appealing. He is a very attractive man but not my cup of tea, personally. I find pictures of my own celeb crush sexy.
Sorry, this was meant to quote the poster who said about objectifying men.

@SoScarletItWas there are loads of reasons people don't divorce after an affair. I don't think it's a surprise she didn't.

Exactly. Humans and other animals are going to find others of their species sexually attractive (not necessarily the opposite sex though!) It's kinda what keeps life on earth going.
DBs pose above suggests he's more than happy to be looked at appreciatively.

All this "objectifying" nonsense is silly.

Now Cantona, that’s a bloke who’s aged into handsome.
Gnomic statements included - he seemed to me a bloke having a laugh at everyone taking him seriously.

A man covered in tattoos does nothing for me.

Ooh no, small squinty hooded eyes in men are my favourite trait! Mysterious and sexy haha 😅

I’ve met him a couple of times and he was incredibly nice. He’s also not thick at all. He’s not particularly articulate, but he’s not daft by any stretch.

I don’t actually fancy him at all, oddly - I don’t know why. But as a football fan I’ve got a massive soft spot for him as a player. He was brilliant to watch. And when I watched him play for England, he seemed far more respectful and grateful to the fans than pretty much anyone else on the pitch. It was really obvious to me, as someone in the crowd, how much playing for England meant to him, which was in stark contrast to a lot of his England team mates at the time.

I think he is gorgeous too, twinkly. I preferred him before the tatts.

And agree he should grow old more naturally, a bit of grey hair would look good, plus he seems to have started on the 'tweakments' and I fear heading into Simon Cowell looks.

I agree with @ItGhoul. I met him when he was about 17 (I'm almost old enough to be his mother) and he was a polite lad. He also came across as very nice, sensible and disciplined on Desert Island Discs. I was impressed when I hadn't expected to be.

But beautiful. He isn't unattractive but what might have been very attractive is totally negated by the indiscreet and overuse of ink imo which I think is very unattractive indeed.

I have never thought his wife attractive in the slightest. She exudes little grace or style in my opinion.

I take it you're a biker!

Objectification is more complicated than simply looking at a picture of someone and finding their body attractive. Enjoying looking at someone you find physically attractive - whether it’s a man looking at a woman or a woman looking at a man, or people of the same sex looking at each other - is not, in itself, objectification. There are other factors needed. It is normal and natural for human beings to find each other beautiful or sexy and to enjoy that.

With all those tattoos, IMO ‘beautiful’ is a matter of opinion.

Subjectively, I find him good looking, but not for me (I'm sure he's gutted!).

Happy birthday David.

Nah, don't like a cheat. It's instantly off putting

I think he was pretty when he was younger. But the tattoos are really naff and he's started to make a mess of his face now. He needs to stop now otherwise he'll get used to that distorted look keep adjusting his face too far. I don't find him remotely attractive though (I'm sure he's gutted) - the voice and lack of any deep insights into anything make him come across as quite a pleasant but dull person.
