Had had a bit of wine and watching his new documentary, just thinking how wonderful he is and wouldn’t mind a night with him at all.

Because they’re first responders. Here in North America all first responders (fire, police and ambulance) are trained to give initial life-saving treatment. Not to the same extent as paramedics but more than first aid.

Ps I really doubt his family or any famous persons family would care, or read this thread. It's ok to say you fancy fit men.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/10/2017 16:06

There's a huge difference between leering and wolf whistling and generally being intimidating and letchy and quietly admiring a man or woman and wondering what it would be like to shag them or are we only meant behave like 'well behaved Victorian women?'

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 09/10/2017 16:09

a colleague of mine is BFF with his wife

I don't know if she reads MN, fucking hope she doesn't

question. what would we say if a man posted a thread with this exact title?

I suspect we wouldn't like it so much

the double standards on here are rife. its like that thread slating TMs jacket too

Bullshit

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/10/2017 16:10

Why would his wife be bothered about random internet people thinking her husband is attractive?Confused

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2017 16:11

Jamie from Outlander did recently mildly object to being objectified. In his case though his acting is summarily ignored in favour of his arse. That objection I get. Louis is being described as intelligent, having a great interviewing style and being right-on. And therefore fuckable. Hardly the same as describing women as a set of physical features.

I used to find Jeremy Paxman wildly attractive based on his interviewing style, not his arse. It’s vastly less insulting, objectifying and threatening.

heateallthebuns · 09/10/2017 16:16

If they posted a thread on mumsnet about a woman being fuckable I wouldn't like it. But I imagine they post about a million on more male orientated sites which I don't know or care about.

Nowt wrong with a bit of earthy language, especially when it comes to matters related to fucking sexual intercourse.

I love him too; have done for years. He and Jarvis Cocker were always my lanky bespectacled dream shags.

Huge overreaction here. I haven’t spoken about his body parts as if he were an object, I think he is handsome and he’s clever , funny and so unjudgemental of the people he interviews. I luffs him.

Attractive and fuckable are not the same. His wife is no doubt aware her dh is the apple of many a middle aged womans eye, but fuckable is another thing altogether. As you obviously know.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/10/2017 16:23

I agree, I find it very odd that if you find someone attractive you are 'reducing them to a series of bumps and holes',which tbh is frankly a disgusting phrase if we're talking about revolting language.

MorrisZapp · 09/10/2017 16:24

Benedict Cumberbatch and the Poldark actor have also said they don't like the more objectifying language and that their partners find it disrespectful.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 09/10/2017 16:24

Ahhhh right,he has lovely glasses,he has lovely hair,he is lovely and tall,he has nice teeth and I want to fuck him

Fuckable to me just means everything about the person makes me want to fuck them. Seems to have others connotations for you?

Diazepam, that was in direct response to the a comment about Victoria Coren, who a pp said was a female geek equivalent. I mentioned that her breasts are talked about on many websites. She is absolutely objectified.

MorrisZapp · 09/10/2017 16:27

So if your son or daughter was perceived by strangers as being fuckable, that to you means that they are considered to be attractive?

HargenDarse · 09/10/2017 16:32

Disgusted that you're sexualising him

heateallthebuns · 09/10/2017 16:32

Oh my god. Stop derailing the thread with offence about using the word fuckable. I think he's fuckable and has nice hair. But don't worry mrs Theroux I very much respect him also. Let's have more pics of Louis, preferably with his top off.

It would depend on how they meant it wouldn’t it? Sexy is another word that could be used but to me that always seems more to do with how a person looks physically.

Prefer his dad Paul in his younger days. Louis comes across as a bit too nice.

he does self-aware with his attractiveness. Look at him all soft here. This was the swingers doc. He has a lovely empathy with people.

Oh I didn't click his dad was Paul Theroux ( daft as well as objectifying it seems!) I just googled and he wrote The Mosquito Coast,which I love! Bloody hell,talented family.

HargenDarse · 09/10/2017 16:40

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I prefer a fit hunk in his 20's.
