To not understand Russell Brand's success with women

[LunaLoveg00d]

He's on the One Show talking nineteen to the dozen about nothing in particular and looking like he needs a good wash.

What on earth do women like Katy Perry and Jemima Khan see in him? Just don't get the appeal AT ALL

Money and fame two of the best aphrodisiacs to shallow people

Is it Russell Brand MN bingo time again? My card is nearly full.

And a comment about him looking like he needs a wash in the OP. HOUSE!

It's not the money and fame for me patricia it's the dark and the funnies. And I bet he's a fantastic shag.
Many of my uni encounters were with men just like him. But without the prank calls or Chris Evans. Obvs.

If that makes me shallow...meh..

I don't fancy him (not my type at all) but I can see why some women like him. He's very funny, charismatic, energetic, articulate, intelligent, handsome (in his own way). I bet he's a dynamo in the sack n' all.

I hate his whiney voice.

My friend snogged him before he was famous.

I'd rather fancy him than bores like Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, B Cumberbatch and the like.

Why, Drama? Do you imagine it makes you one of the cool kids?

Two of my friends have slept with him (London, media/PR jobs) and he's apparently very nice and quite normal. Neither went back for more though.

Well I am married to Idris, so I should think you won't be shagging him Drama.

His pseudo-intellect makes me cringe. I personally wouldn't go near him. Reminds me of a sewer rat.

I used to hate him but I decided the hate was too strong an emotion and was probably based to an extent on my unwanted sexual attraction to him

Someone needs a reality check if they'd rather shag Russel brand over Idris Elba.

Ahem.

Nah, the weedy smug look doesn't do it for me.

Idris Elba, on the other hand...

As a concerned citizen, I'm willing to conduct some thorough research on behalf of MN into who is the least boring out of RB, TH and IE.

Someone else can have Benedict. He looks like a stoat.

I like to fancy men who are skinny, funny (imo) and dirty looking - not that into clean living and boring types I have have enough of that in real life.

Just because I don't fancy the same people as others doesn't mean I aspire to be in the cool kids gang

Hes sexy. Handsome. Funny. Charming. Down to earth ordinary bloke. What's not to love.
I think his hair definitely makes him, and I don't usually go for the long haired look

Agreed. Never liked him. Not attractive in my eyes.

I don't get why people say he needs a wash etc. I've met him and he's perfectly clean

He has faults and has done some silly stuff but give him his dues he tries to address when he's been wrong and seems to be trying to change. He's been really vocal about his previous sexism and seems to have taken loads of stuff on board.

I totally get why some people wouldn't like him or enjoy the humour but a lot of the criticism he gets on here about needing a wash is just odd.

Soooooop, Shag, Marry, and Push off a cliff. And your choices are

Russell Brand
Donald Trump
DavidCameron

Okay....

Shag Donald Trump
Marry David Cameron
Push Russell Brand off a cliff

I would. He makes me laugh. And those saying that he isn't clever, well, that just makes you sound odd. He is obviously articulate and bright, even if he is irritating to some never met anyone in RL that mirrors MN on this.

Marry RB
Shag DC

Push DT
