To not understand the Harry effect

I just don't get it. Harry styles and the attraction largely his cougar dating direction! Seems that him and Nicole Scherzinger had hooked up when he was 19 and she was 35. Just what is it that he's got going on?

No idea I would

Tartyflette · 17/10/2015 13:43

Dunno. Tbh think the bouncy puppy appeal would wear off fairly quickly, though.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 17/10/2015 13:44

He has a beautiful face.

Not keen on his current look, he looks a bit Russell Brand, but there's definitely something about him.

I'm 35 if you're interested Harry. Grin

Fairylea · 17/10/2015 13:46

No idea. He looks like he needs a good wash.

Leafitout · 17/10/2015 13:50

It can't be his wealth as these women are wealthy in their own right! I don't think as a 35 year old I would find a 19 year old attractive rich or not! Could it be stimulating conversation, his wicked sense of humour laughing them into bed? Nicole is very attractive and could have her pick.

No movie or pop star is good looking enough to inspire the hysteria they do.

I don't get the Harry Styles thing either but I'd be highly doubtful if he ever hooked up with Nicole Sherzinger. A lot of these 'romances' are just PR constructions.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 17/10/2015 13:53

Nicole likes younger men, why not he's a pretty good a choice.

SalemSaberhagen · 17/10/2015 14:06

From what I've heard, Nick Grimshaw thinks YABVU

Leafitout · 17/10/2015 14:08

Salem tell me more

MidnightRed · 17/10/2015 14:09

So RPF would have us believe Salem.

I don't get the attraction either. I'm mid 30s and have no desire to hook up with anyone young enough to be my son (I would've been a young mum admittedly but still).

UnGoogleable · 17/10/2015 14:10

Oh I thought this thread was going to be about Prince Harry. I was coming on here to praise his Royal Ginger Hotness Wink

As for that Harry Styles - he's a young child. I'll tell you exactly what these people find attractive in him - column inches.

SalemSaberhagen · 17/10/2015 14:10

Give it a Google, I can't! Wink

cashewnutty · 17/10/2015 14:14

UnGoogleable I am even worse. I though it was a thread about Harry Potter. Grin

Leafitout · 17/10/2015 14:40

Surely Nicole can generate her own column inches without Harry Styles! Caroline Flack was with him for a while! But none of these women are coming out with a common theme as to what gives about him.

I'm not normally a fan of younger men. But I certainly would.

scatterthenuns · 17/10/2015 14:45

Maybe he's got a massive cock.

scatterthenuns · 17/10/2015 14:46

I think he's probably just very, very charming. And good at chatting up women.

Sad, but that often works.

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 17/10/2015 14:48

Its like a story Max Clifford would throw up if he wasnt so indisposed at the moment.

Its a good idea though isnt it? Bit different from the usual beards is that.. going the older lady route..its clever

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 17/10/2015 14:49

He does Scattered..its called Nick Grimshaw

regenerationfez · 17/10/2015 14:49

I thought Prince Harry too! Have a feeling all Harry Styles alleged relationships are for generating column inches. You can never have too many column inches in that world!
I've heard the Harry Styles/Nick Grimshaw/Louis Tomlinson rumours I dont know how,I'm 42 for Gods sake!!!!! but I don't know why he would have to hide his sexuality. Don't 1d have a huge Gay following?

Sallystyle · 17/10/2015 14:53

Yeah, he has a gorgeous face.

I don't go for younger men but he certainly is beautiful.

AnemonesCloser · 17/10/2015 14:53

They join these bands when they're compliant 16 year olds and they're told how important it is that their fanbase think they're straight. They're probably told 'the band will last five years, just go along with the party line till it's all over'.

Leafitout · 17/10/2015 14:55

Massive cock and charming but still don't get it Grin

YokoUhOh · 17/10/2015 14:59

salem is correct. Follow @beardclub on Twitter. It's all a ruse!

werewolfinladderedtights · 17/10/2015 15:01

There is def something about him. He has that 'dirty rude' look about him, it's in his eyes.
I couldn't imagine having a thing with someone younger than my kids tho.
