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.

No, MrsTP. We can express how attractive we find a man without describing him as "fuckable".

What would be acceptable crescend0?

Crescend0 · 09/10/2017 19:05

Well pretty much anything would be better than that.

AfunaMbatata · 09/10/2017 19:05

Nope, that was me trying my best Wink

You put into words exactly how I feel, mrstp

David Duchcovny is STILL my favourite. Especially as Hank Moody in Californication. Just can't help myself Blush

As an aside - I can totally see why men find Victoria Coren sexy. She's extremely intelligent, attractive and BRILLIANT at poker. Grin

Would Louis really do this though?

Dame - handsome, attractive, charismatic, beautiful sexy, hot, fit...? I'm not a thesaurus, but I'm sure there are many more descriptions of the non-offensive variety. It's not that difficult.

Smitff · 09/10/2017 19:23

What's wrong with being described as fuckable?? I'd love to be described as fuckable! I'm often told that I'm intelligent, warm, generous, perspicacious, loving, giving. I'd love to add fucakble to that list!

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2017 19:27

See the problem with that Crescend0 that I think that point is that despite not being handsome, conventionally attractive or beautiful, he is, you know, what she said. Is it 'fuck' you abject to? Or generally talking about people in terms of their sexual attractiveness?

'Attractive' works I suppose.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2017 19:27

*object.

I have to make a typo when talking about language. It's Muphrey's Law.

Crescend0 · 09/10/2017 19:31

No I don't particularly like the word. I can't pretend I don't find it nasty. That's me, but I doubt I'm the only one.

Oysterbabe · 09/10/2017 19:31

That's the thing isn't it, he's not conventionally attractive but there's something about him, his personality, professionalism and talent that makes him an appealing prospect for a physical encounter. The slightly crass way it's been phrased isn't for everyone but I think it's fine. This is AIBU, swearing is par for the course.

AfunaMbatata · 09/10/2017 19:35

Thank you to mrs TP and oyster, you’ve articulated perfectly what I was trying to say.

But none of those descriptions mean fuckable. Why can't a woman say she finds a man fuckable. Not ladylike?

He's not particularly handsome,wouldn't describe him as hot, attractive is blah.

DollyLlama · 09/10/2017 19:37

Something about the man... I would!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/10/2017 19:38

I love the word. It conveys rather a lot. Although went off him a bit after the photo you posted OP Grin

thenewaveragebear1983 · 09/10/2017 19:49

It's like fireman Sam- he's obviously quite fuckable- but if you look at him closely, he's actually supremely unattractive.

Or he would be if he wasn't a cartoon

CheggarsPlaysPlop · 09/10/2017 21:25

MrsTerryPratchett I do adore you

Ohyesiam · 09/10/2017 21:28

I think fuckable is a delicious word.

If people were on here talking about his physicality, and nothing else, yes I'd find it naff. But most posters have emphasised his intelligence, his ability to connect, his diffidence etc.
The problem with being objectified is just that, being seen as a physical object, with your humanity ignored.
Being appreciated and desired for what you are good at, who you are , how you are able to connect with others, how skilled you are at your job , is a really different thing.
