To wish there were more hot men?

[Lighthearted thread]

I’m not a shallow person at all - prefer personality over looks. But very, very occasionally I come across an extremely hot guy, and I wish there were more of them around. The kind you just want to ravage right there and then. The kind who stirs a certain feeling within you, something you forgot existed, and you feel alive and buzzing again. If there were more of them around, perhaps I wouldn’t prefer personality over looks then 🤣 For me, I find so few attractive, it’s such a treat when I find one! And, no, I am not asexual or picky 🤓

I feel like I rarely find anyone attractive these days and I'm definitely not asexual. Even if they are stereotypically hot, it does nothing for me. Confused

ReallySpicyCurry · 25/12/2020 21:02

It depends on what you mean by hot I think

On balance, the women I know take a lot more care of themselves, and make the most of themselves, and the men just don't. So I know a lot of very attractive women of all ages, but when I think about it, a lot less men - though they probably could be a lot more fanciable if they tried. I mean, obviously they don't have to if they don't want to, but they could.

Hot as in Jason Momoa or Gerard Butler levels, well I could count on one hand the number of times I've seen a man who looks like that, apart from DH of course Grin

Ekdkso999 · 25/12/2020 21:25

I agree, I see attractive women literally every day. I rarely see attractive men.

x2boys · 25/12/2020 21:39

It depends what you mean by attractive men I suppose I always went for long haired guys ( was a bit of a rocker in my youth) my Dh is bald I had never considered bald men before I met my Dh ,but he's definitely attractive Imo , something to consider maybe? I realise its light hearted of course Xmas Grin

OP, you took the words right out of my mouth....
I had a conversation about the very thing yesterday, pissed like a fart, mind you, but nevertheless, most deep and philosophical it was.
A truly gorgeous human being, be it male or female stirs that primordial urge to own, ravage and have.
The ones who do have that raw beauty and sensual mystique are rarer than hens' teeth though. Perhaps better for all of us ....

buckeejit · 25/12/2020 21:49

Amen. There are so few. I'm happily married but still would like to see one or two. Although I don't get out much....

ReallySpicyCurry the guy I’m thinking about now is even hotter than Jason Momoa 😍

There's loads round where I live - walk down the road and every other person is a virtual Adonis

CigarsofthePharoahs · 25/12/2020 22:57

Hot men?
I'd be worried they'd be feverish and need a covid test. Hey ho.
I can't complain really. Ds1 and I have been having a star wars marathon. Harrison Ford can do one, but Billy Dee Williams? Oof, yes please!!!!

queenofknives · 25/12/2020 23:05

I saw a VERY handsome man today in the park. I smiled and wished him merry xmas and he smiled back which made him even more fanciable... then i noticed his girlfriend! Hahaha she was very attractive too but her smile to me was less genuine, can't think why Xmas Grin

FarTooSkinny where do you live??

@FarTooSkinny, I'd be careful with your co-ordinates due to the highly likely stampede of Mumsnetters that will ensue, all trying to get away from toothless, burping walking guts Grin.

This!

Where are all the men?

MsVestibule · 26/12/2020 09:47

I never fancy stereotypically hot men, though. I can appreciate them (and women) in the way I would a good painting, but I just don't fancy them.

If I was single, I'd definitely want somebody who looked after themselves (at my age, that really means not overweight as most of them will be bald) but 'hot' just doesn't appeal to me and never has.

Pinkyandthebrainz · 26/12/2020 10:17

Agree. Most men aren't that great looking. Often even more confirmed when they take their clothes off.

HTH1 · 26/12/2020 10:19

I had voted YANBU before even reading your post!

GrimSisters · 26/12/2020 10:25

I agree. I see a lot of men every day but very rarely do I find any attractive. If I do, it's very rare that they're British. DH looks like a grizzly viking and I find him very attractive (although both of us could do with losing some poundage).
Currently watching a documentary on Siberian tigers and the teenager is rolling her eyes at me when I mention 🔥 Russian scientist man.

heseesyouwhenyouaresleeping · 26/12/2020 10:33

I might be less picky than you, it's very personal after all, but I see plenty of hot men around. Maybe not even hotter than Jason Momoa but hot enough Grin

I can think of a couple of hot guys at work (I do like the sporty type in a suit Grin ), a few around the fields when I take my kids to football/rugby etc, and my gym and sport clubs have a very decent selection when they are open.

Plenty of very hot women too to be fair

And DH is hot.

I like tall and strong, others might prefer a different type, so I tend to gravitate towards more sporty places if that makes sense.

praepondero · 26/12/2020 10:55

Thank you, perfect, had no idea who Jason Momoa was, have just had a peep - very nice indeed, bit too body-builderish though, however, of course I would.
Recent titillators have Duarte Silva firmly leading the pack. Every woman must have her own Boxer......

Socialbutterfly198 · 26/12/2020 11:27

Not many attractive men around but my god they all think they’re gifts to women don’t they Grin and I don’t mean this in a light hearted way Xmas Wink

OP posts:
Onedropbeat · 26/12/2020 11:34

It’s all subjective though

I think my DH is drop dead gorgeous in a 90’s Hugh grant from 4 weddings kind of vibe with the hair and glasses but is tall, slim and muscular

But others might think he looks geeky and a bit too slender

I don’t fancy people like Brad Pitt, George clooney or others people find typically attractive either though and really dislike men who have visibly down time bulking up

SilverRoe · 26/12/2020 11:48

stereotypically beautiful people like you see in the movies are pretty few and far between in day to day life that is true. But often they don’t do anything for me attraction wise anyway. Meeting someone who makes you feel weak at the knees is also rare bit god it’s great when it happens!!!

DreadingSeason2020sFinale · 26/12/2020 11:53

Sorry, I took one off the market. Waaaay out of my league but I still got to keep him. His personality matches his looks too. A good, kind, hardworking man who knows his way around the laundry and the hoover, knows the kids schedules (likes and dislikes as well) as much as I do.

Sorry. Mine looks like Killian Jones (Cptn Hook) from Once Upon a Time. But without Guyliner. Mmmm....
