To think Freddie Flintoff

Looked a lot better chubbier?

I do think he is a very attractive man still though.

Am I alone in this?

Wouldn't matter to me chubby or not, he's bloody gorgeous.

KenLeeeeeee · 01/12/2012 21:55

YANBU. I thought he was lovely as a bigger bloke. He looks older and much less pretty now.

resists temptation to get on soapbox about reverse sexism and how it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about a woman in these terms

HKat · 01/12/2012 21:57

Hmmmm, am torn. Would have anticipated feeling the same but then was pleasantly surprised at the weigh-in. So on balance, YABU :)

Yuck - chubby or not. Blurgh

Hmmm Joaquin phoenix.... Yums
A little chubby I suppose.

I prefer chubbier (tis a word) than skinny

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/12/2012 22:09

Generally speaking, I mean.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 01/12/2012 22:10

I had to google him. No thank you I'll keep The Flintoff Grin

Freddie's face was nicer before the weight loss. Still love him though, but if I had to pick as if it would ever happen I would have Joaquin.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/12/2012 22:14

Sharnt fight then.

We could double date.
Ooh, the dark and the light, like yin and yang.

northernexile put 'em up! Put 'em up!

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 01/12/2012 22:19

See I find it strange that I prefer him chubbier as my other crushes seem to be small and weedy Grin

He's not attractive at all but he did look better chubby.

I've realised I prefer tubby men. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Ricky Gervais and Johnny Vegas all looked tons better chubby. Now they look like lollipops.

ThePortlyPinUp · 01/12/2012 22:22

I wouldn't say no, although I think his foray into boxing may marr his good looks :(

Onebadbackandalostpelvicfloor · 01/12/2012 22:23

Oh I love him to bits but I can't fancy him I'm afraid as my brother is the dead spit of him (height, build, hair the works)

StinkyWicket · 01/12/2012 22:25

I like my men with a bit of meat on them as well.

Just watching the boxing (not Freddie) and I like the heavyweights. Can't abide a slight man.

bondigidum you make me bilious with your suggestion that Ricky Gervais is an attractive man! Shock

InkleWinkle · 01/12/2012 22:27

Hilarious, I was just thinking that the other night! Grin

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 01/12/2012 22:30

OneBad is your brother single? Grin

Yes he is Smile

gallifrey · 01/12/2012 22:32

I think Shane Mcguigan is rather lovely Grin

rhondajean · 01/12/2012 22:35

He is very very pretty but I must admit, I saw the photo of the weigh in and thought oops he still is carrying a bit of weight.

Then I saw his opponent!

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 01/12/2012 22:38

Well let me know his age and I will PM you my number depending on what you reply Grin

I love Freddie. I missed the fight though Sad I was watching A League Of Their Own and noticed he looked slimmer.

Jamie Redknapp is near enough perfect though. I think he is gorgeous

OP posts:
Onebadbackandalostpelvicfloor · 01/12/2012 22:42

He is but a boy, he's 20, and we are all trying to match make him at the moment Grin

rhondajean · 01/12/2012 22:43

The fight was on pigging boxnation which is about the only channel I sent get on sky. Saw clips on this mornings bbc news. He won, could see he was inexperienced though, no technique poor love Grin.

rhondajean · 01/12/2012 22:44

Jamie redknapp is starting to look like Harry, that's enough to put me off.
