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?

I dreamt about Harry last night. Blush He was staying at our house. Smile At the recent concert I accompanied DD to, he did have glorious hair, so I see the attraction. And he was so kind about his young fans. A man who is nice to children, who happens to be rather gorgeous too. What's not to like?

I can understand having a crush but to take it to the next level is surely a bit to far!

I can't find Beardclub on Twitter?
sad git that I am

honeyroar · 17/10/2015 15:26

I wonder if it's become treaty/good street cred for these older women to say they've been with him? It boosts their image, for example Nicole, " yeah you dumped me Lewis for a younger pop star, but I can play that game too..."?

MsRamone · 17/10/2015 15:26

He looks like a girl.

I thought this thread was going to be about prince Harry and was ready to tell you yabu! Grin
However, in this case, yanbu

magicstar1 · 17/10/2015 15:28

Seriously? It's well known that he's gay, and has had various beards. Nicole S is a popular beard, so it all makes sense.

AnemonesCloser · 17/10/2015 15:30

I always though Nicole S's relationship with Lewis Hamilton wasn't quite kosher.

As for Taylor Swift and her various 'romances'.....

I can't see the appeal at all. In fairness that's because I'm way too old, but there are some youth I can see the appeal, IYSWIM, even if I couldn't imagine fancying them. He must have a bucket-load of charisma which photos don't convey.

SurlyCue · 17/10/2015 15:33

I dont see the appeal with Harry styles. Im 29 and never found him atractive. He looks grubby.

Louis on the other hand...

The80sweregreat · 17/10/2015 15:42

He looks like Mick Jagger ( younger days obviously) women adored him too. I couldnt see it, neither can i see Harry's attraction. He just seems very boring and shallow.
I dont believe Grimmy is gay at all. But then i didnt believe George Michael was either for years!

PrimalLass · 17/10/2015 15:46

He is beautiful. Blush And seems very kind.

regenerationfez · 17/10/2015 15:47

Grimmy is openly gay! He doesnt even hide it, does he?

EponasWildDaughter · 17/10/2015 15:49

Does nothing for me. He's fairly average.

However he's happy, healthy, rich enough for the best of everything, surrounded by stylists and image consultants and most importantly only 21 years old.

No excuse for looking shite under those circs. is there?

The80sweregreat · 17/10/2015 15:54

I just googled Nick Grimshaw and boyfriend popped up too.
I dont have a clue do I?

PippaPug · 17/10/2015 16:01

He has fantastic on stage at one of his concerts recently - great stage performance! He sung happy birthday to a girl and was very sweet - I do get why his fans love him!

IHaveBrilloHair · 17/10/2015 16:03

He's gorgeous, I saw 1D again last week and he's really funny and entertaining too, and hot.

SeaMagic · 17/10/2015 16:03

Umm I think Nick Grimshaw is definitely gay...

Don't know about Harry Hairstyles.

The80sweregreat · 17/10/2015 16:07

Harry Hairstyles! Love it.

My eldest was amazed Scott Mills was gay.

YokoUhOh · 17/10/2015 16:20

ihate @beard_club

It's not just beards, there are merkins, too!

I vaguely remember an ep of Celebrity Juice (I know, I know), where Grimmy was forced to redial the last number in his phone. It was James Corden, who said, 'are you with Harry?'. James Corden is also a regular on Beard Club.

AnemonesCloser · 17/10/2015 16:23

Everyone is gay according the Beard Club!

The80sweregreat · 17/10/2015 16:28

I asked eldest about Nick G, ( he is a radio one fan) he reakons ' he is both'
I need to get out more, clearly.
Never heard of beard club. Is Gary Barlow in this?

DoneCaring · 17/10/2015 16:32

Nope I don't get it at all. I don't like pretty boys - give me a well seasoned man any day. Sounds like I'm planning a BBQ Confused

The80sweregreat · 17/10/2015 16:41

Done, well seasoned! Sounds like my DH, but going off a bit.

AnneSansTete · 17/10/2015 16:42

Harry Styles came to my work once to do some filming with 1d. He was very, very charming and polite. I had absolutely no opinion of 1d or Harry Styles before I met them. I had to give them a safety briefing and Harry kept asking asking cheeky questions and I ended up giggling like a school girl.

I am normally a very sensible, married mother in her thirties. But I would totally do Harry Styles.

BBQ Grin. I totally get that his young fans get him but grown women falling at his feet (into his bed) baffles me. Pete Wicks from Towie (yep sad to admit I watch it) is more "dirty looking" in a sexy way and could see the appeal. Harry Styles looks as though puberty has evaded him!!
