To have developed a stonking crush on

[catgirl1976]

Damiano David from the Italian Eurovision winning group Maneskin?

I'm 44. I actually googled tickets for Eurovision 2022. I'm not far off adding up the number values of the letters in our respective last names and adding them up in my jotter to see if we are a match

I know I AIBU but bloody hell he's hot

Haha, bit disappointed as these threads are normally about Greg Davies !!!

Damiano is beautiful though.

[quote embarrassingcrushtoo]@littlepattilou - Dadi Frey looking like a redneck hobo? Not sure what one of those look like, but he looks beautiful to me. Plus he seems really sweet, doesn't take himself too seriously and has a great sense of humour, eg all the camp dancing.

I'm definitely in favour of men who are in touch with their feminine sides.

Swoon.[/quote]
All of this. I think it was the confidence being silly why he’s my crush too!

@SinisterBumFacedCat

Did you see him in the press conference afterwards putting his platforms up on the desk. He has so much sexy confidence!

Oh yes, may have possibly taken a screenshot.

@2CatShapurr

I liked the drummer from Maneskin! He looks a bit like one of The Lost Boys. There was a great shot of him looking all amazed and angelic when they announced the scores with his long dark hair and eyeliner

Must admit I preferred the drummer too. And I'm far too old.

Yuk. He's a child. YABU

He’s not a child.

@Justgivemeamoment happy to also discuss the unbelievably sexy Greg Davies also. When he goes all teachery I am overcome with desire, it's embarrassing.

He's not attractive.

Black eyeliner and black nail varnish and he is soo oooooo short

You can have him OP ....

I just knew this post was going to be about him before I opened it! I'm same age as you and find him super gorgeous, a bit surprised at my own crush as he's not really my usual type (my hubby is a tall scandinavian looking guy). I have a son who is only a couple of years younger than him

He's like a mixture of David Bowie, Jim Morrison and the lead singer from Depeche Mode.

Platform shoes on desk denote sexy confidence

No way... grubby, child like, short and not manly at all, more stroppy teenage boy

Platform shoes on desk denote sexy confidence

Fuck yes

He’s a year younger than DS23 ...

He is goddam beautiful though - charismatic, talented and lean 💋

@osbertthesyrianhamster you know some of us are in our 20's?

Cute but smokes , total turn off

I can over look the shortness and I have never said that before. Never been out with anyone under 6ft. But I will make an exception for Damiano (I am sure he will be thrilled at this gracious offer from a frumpy 44 year old )

I was a goth back in the day so they eyeliner is a massive plus for me.

I don't care how short he is, look at Prince!!
He's still bloody gorgeous, ditto angelic drummer

[quote nevertelling]@osbertthesyrianhamster you know some of us are in our 20's?[/quote]
never you know the OP said she's 44.

You described a 22 yo as a child!

That is a bit rude to some posters!

22 yo is an adult.

@SimonJT thanks for the heads up, I would have hated to miss that..... hooo boy. DP has now added Damiano to HIS list. This man has sex and charisma just oozing out of every pore.

I know it’s wrong, he’s a baby, but Lordy.

Not sure many men could wear eyeliner, fishnet, hotpants and high heeled boots and yet still look so masculine.

Never fancied anyone in music just doesn’t do it for me, I’m so fussy it’s u true no scruff, no blonds ever, no music people either.

@commatose

DD has the same 'flames licking up my skinny hips' tattoo peeking out of his snakeskin strides as Justin Hawkins. Once I noticed that on Saturday night, Maneskin were less supercool Bowie/Ronson and more Don't Let the Bells End.

Oh my god WHY have we never sent The Darkness to Eurovision?!?! They would 100% win, this needs to happen. Has to.

@DontGoIntoTheLongGrass

Not a fan sorry but was looking for a pirate costume on amazon other day and found this specimen

Blimey!!

Crushes are the WEIRDEST thing. I very vividly remember developing a huge thing for s comedian off the tv called Lee Hurst when I was 15. He was probably mid-30s, bald as an egg and has a really pointy chin. But for a few weeks he was all I could think about. Then it went away as quickly as it started.
Wtf is that about?!

Please remember those of us who are actual eurovision fans who have been waiting years now to go to a live final, there are and will be limited tickets and now it is made impossibly hard by the maneskin fans who could see them at literally any other show

Imagine Maneskin will be releasing plenty of tickets for a live tour outside Italy soon, so the numbers who will bother to travel to Italy just to see them at Eurovision aren't vast.
