AIBU in thinking that he is the physically perfect man ever? So tall and all muscles, and seems like a nice bloke as well

If you want to see an arrogant sprinter then look no further than Justin Gatlin or Oscar Pistorius.

nina2b · 31/07/2017 21:31

We are permitted not to agree with everyone in the thread, surely?Hmm

...on

Bigoldsupermoon · 31/07/2017 21:32

Calm your tits, Moron - I didn't go and find something negative out about him for the purpose of this thread, as was implied.

StillDrivingMeBonkers · 31/07/2017 21:33

Self assured isn't arrogance.

ProphetOfDoom · 31/07/2017 21:33

He copes extraordinarily well with the pressure - especially when he went up against x2 drugs cheat Gatlin at the Olympics.

And his longevity as a 100m champion is remarkable.

That said, I have a soft spot for Michael Johnson who's probably more well regarded here than the US.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 31/07/2017 21:34

Arrogant? I think he's the opposite of that. He may be a bit showy offy, when he's just won a Gold medal or broken a world record, but why shouldn't he? The rest of the time he seems extremely grounded.

He is a perfect specimen of a man.

800msprint · 31/07/2017 21:34

Watch (biased but good) film on h and you'll love him even more

PassedTheMoronTest · 31/07/2017 21:35

Bigoldsupermoon you obviously did though! 🤔

steff13 · 31/07/2017 21:37

Eh, I find Jason Momoa and/or Brock O'Hurn to be more perfect physically, at least to my way of thinking.

sonjadog · 31/07/2017 21:39

I have had a huge crush on him since the London Olympics. Not only is he incredibly hot, he also looks like a lot of fun to hang out with.

magentastardust · 31/07/2017 21:40

I always think if he was around in the proper olden olden days he would be a thing of legend , like a proper Greek god.
I love watching him.

TheLuminaries · 31/07/2017 21:42

Didn't he give an interview where he was repulsed at the idea of going down on a woman? So while he made be good looking, he sounds shit in bed Grin

Luminaries, I read an article in the Guardian that said cunnilingus is completely taboo amongst Jamaican men. Don't know the reasons why though! So it's how he was brought up.

Oral isn't in West Indian culture - the women I work with think its abhorrent also. They must be a whole nation of shit lovers according to you, TheLuminaries

Not that I give credence to tabloids, but I cant see any serious media source running a kiss and tell - actually today that should be shag and sell

I would be devastated if he had ever cheated. I love him.

maggiecate · 31/07/2017 21:55

He was great with the young volunteers at the olympics and commonwealth games

I was lucky enough to get a ticket for track and field events at London 2012, UB ran a brilliant semi-final. Love that bod, lush.

You have to be arrogant as a sprinter, it's all part of the psychology.

Apparently there an awful lot of rumpy-pumpy in those Olympic Villages. I'm surprised they've got the energy, after all that training and competition.

Piggywaspushed · 31/07/2017 21:56

Justin Gatlin is arrogant. I loved watching Usain shit all over him.

Usain is exuberantly talented and has a genuine joie de vivre. Occasionally he is childish. He is a man child. Part of his appeal.

And he doesn't do that annoying God stuff the US athletes all do.

Piggywaspushed · 31/07/2017 21:57

I saw him run at the Anniversary Games. All the crowd loved him. It was electric and sport will have a huge void when he retires.

TheLuminaries · 31/07/2017 21:58

Interesting about cunnilingus being taboo - I bet blow jobs aren't! Yup, sounds like a nation that would leave a girl a disappointed - I like a man who eats out Grin
