To sort of admire (and be attracted to) Dominic Cummings?! 🤦‍♀️

I mean, it’s not about his looks. It’s that deep self confidence, firm self belief that he’s right and that beautiful Machiavellian way he operates.

I would never want to be like this - it’s not in me, but the naked ruthlessness, the I don’t give a f**k attitude and the way he’s not afraid to take down anyone in his path, I mean - he’s got to be a wonderfully dominant lover right (if you like that sort of thing)? Or do you think he would just be very, very selfish in bed?

"I mean, that is the very, very pinnacle of self assurance"

It isn't, it's the pinnacle of arrogance, entitlement (which is always dangerous especially in a sub/Dom situation), lack of personal responsibility and a victim mentality. He'd damage anyone slightly vulnerable and they'd trauma bond with him. He is toxic. If you are reading him any differently then there's something amiss in your thinking and red flag radar.

TulisaIsBrill · 29/05/2021 10:16

Raab is as actually too conventionally attractive for me.

@TulisaIsBrill

Yes that’s exactly it! I would love a man who was that sure in himself that nothing could ever be his fault. I mean, that is the very, very pinnacle of self assurance, and let’s face it - it’s seriously hot 🥰
Other than the fact I doubt Dom is dom (see above) - do you mean this as a fleeting sex fantasy rather than an actual life fantasy?

Cos I work with men like this and they are just unhappy and humourless, they aren’t attractive at all. They are fun to taunt in meetings, but that’s all.

Firstly I can't even believe I am replying to this thread, but couldn't resist

Secondly I don't think any of those things in bed.

I think he'd artfully posture about as if he had the key to every single sexual technique. He would postulate in detail how his technique was universal and one he had personally amalgamated and cribbed together from a synthesis of the Kama Sutra and Tracey Cox's Mail sex columns. He would proclaim how sex is completely misunderstood and needs "disruptive" thinking.

Then when he didn't cum, he'd turn round and forensically blame you and everyone he's ever been in contact with, as if he was never a participant in the act or had any agency.

Yeah, that.

This is so accurate 🤣🤣🤣

TulisaIsBrill · 29/05/2021 10:18

Honestly, if he was still in with the government, I'd probably apply to be one of those unconventional 'geniuses' that he wanted for his specialist skunk works think tank.

But then, if he was still in with the government, I'd probably not have discovered how hot he can be when cornered.

I think Dom, Boris and Matt are in some sort of menage a trois and all the public spats are to keep us off the scent. There will be photos in the Fail one day, you mark my words.

No, no and even more no Envy(sick)

"You might not agree with his methods, but there is no doubt he's a proper leader"

How has life improved in Russia, particularly for children under Putin? You're coming across as very damaged.

MumW · 29/05/2021 10:22

YABVVU
I find him an abominable, arrogant, shit stirring prick who has a total lack of integrity and judgement.

How a man who so blatantly flouted Covid guidelines has any credence as a critic of the government's performance on Covid is beyond me.

Whether his claims have any basis in truth or not, they smack of revenge and back stabbing and a sense of self importance way above his pay grade. Every time I hear his name my blood boils and my stomach curdles.

Boris must rue the day he backed him over the Durham debacle.

Funny, because if anyone ever posted on here about their OH behaving like that, the unanimous response would be that he is abusive.

I hope you recover your sense of self-esteem and worth soon, OP. Though at least you are not in the sad situation that Carrie Symonds finds herself in.

Toxic is a good description of him. He has in a small way contributed to thousands of unnecessary deaths by his working for the worst Prime Minister in our history.

Stop - you're making me blush at the thought!

Hancock is another one who I find quirkily attractive. He's just so damn awkward, but you know behind that clumsiness lies a deeply passionate man, who would definitely enjoy providing a tempestuous and varied sexual experience for his paramours.

I don't even like Boris Johnson, but DomCum came across like a bitter ex - employee, who has hard feeling for being sacked.

It's just not believable. He was riding the gravy train for so long despite all of his concerns for the country, was the driving force behind many questionable policies, and then - all of a sudden-when he's sacked, he has all these moral objections against the government.

The opposite of a man I would be attracted to. The definition of weakness.

He was only able to "take down everyone in his path" because Boris Johnson let him.

He's nothing without Bojo and his revelations won't hurt the government, mark my words.
Bojo has his loyal fans (I'm not one of them)

Lottapianos · 29/05/2021 10:25

Sweet Jesus. This has to be the weirdest crush ever on the site, and there have been some HUMDINGERS over the years

He's utterly repulsive in every single way. No idea where you're coming from OP. Dominic Raab is a scumbag too but he is at least physically attractive.

Dumbledoresgirl · 29/05/2021 10:25

Last year he was the laughing stock of the entire country which makes him the very antithesis of attractive in my eyes.

MumW · 29/05/2021 10:26

I did need a wee but you appear to have taken all the piss.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

The way I see it, he dealt with what would have left most people humiliated just magnificently. He brushed it off his shoulder like a piece of lint, then retired to plot a beautiful, sweet revenge. If that isn't the actions of an attractive man I have no idea what is.

Bravo, absolutely this!

OrangePowder · 29/05/2021 10:30

Yes, I get what you mean. That confidence that you can just do your own thing and not care what anyone thinks.

However, I do wonder how real that is. That performance in the Rose Garden (and even his evidence now) was very much about wanting people to see things from his side. Even if he can't quite believe they don't, he does want to persuade them, as opposed to not caring what they think.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 29/05/2021 10:30

And also David Cameron. And l hate the fuckers.

I like Richard Burgon too though, and Andy Burnhams eyelashes make me weak at the knees

❤️it's ok - the heart wants what the heart wants 🤷‍♀️ there's a lot of very judgey people on here who don't see human sexuality as a very complex thing clearly.

Any of you weirdos prepared to admit to fancying Boris Johnson? I'm fairly sure a friend of mine does, but I honestly can't bear to ask her

That performance was the turning point for me. The utter lack of admission or remorse....I mean, wow! For someone to be that determined not to show any vulnerability...it was a real energy orgasm for me to watch.
