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?

He's like a bond/movie villian that you can't help be a bit attracted to...or at least feel a bit sad for when they meet thier demise

Hancock....a deeply passionate man who would definitely enjoy providing a tempestuous and varied experience for his paramours.

Now I know you're joking, OP. Thanks for providing the biggest laugh I have had this sunny morning, even over the embarrassed mis-leaping cat falling off the windowsill and a DC sneakily stealing and trying to drink my cup of tea, only to almost choke on the teabag that was accidentally still in it.

Every time I look at him he reminds me of what Robocop looked like when he took off his helmet.

A night with Dom - I'd buy that for a dollar!

Actually he looks more like Clarence Boddicker!

OP
You are on the wrong site, you nitwit.

midsomermurderess · 29/05/2021 10:54

He:s not Machiavellian, his every move is crude and predictable. He's a classic bully and deeply immature. If you can bear it, spend a few minutes on his blog. It is adolescent and cringey. But, each to her own.

Are you partaking in some kind of weird bet to see how many people you can make throw up in their mouths on mumsnet? If so, think you’ve won.

Oh sorry! I didn't realise you owned the site. Apologies for any disruption in discussing house prices 👍

@guinnessguzzler

I very much doubt he has a deep self confidence. If he did, he wouldn't behave the way he does. He is clearly a very unhappy and disturbed individual and probably at least one of a narcissist, psychopath or sociopath. I don't understand why so many people confuse this kind of dominant, controlling and manipulative behaviour with confidence and self assuredness. People who are happy in themselves simply don't behave in these kind of ways.

Sorry to be blunt, OP, but as humans we really need to get much better at spotting the ones who are so damaged that they are dangerous and not giving them any power or responsibility.

Absolutely this.

This is not what confidence looks like.

It's what an incredibly fragile ego hiding deep insecurities looks like.

It's what an emotionally damaged man looks like at work.

Ooh I've always wanted to have my turn at saying this on Mumsnet, and I think I can as no one else has said it yet......

OP are you on glue?

Shorthairlady · 29/05/2021 11:05

@TulisaIsBrill hahaha. Yes he does!

wheresmymojo · 29/05/2021 11:05

I've had the misfortune of working with so many of these men...slithering around the office with their little half-smiles, half-grimaces.

OP...you should go and work in the City. You'd be very distracted from your work though if this is your type!

EishetChayil · 29/05/2021 11:06

Don't be daft! He looks like a cartoon alien.

wheresmymojo · 29/05/2021 11:07

He makes me think of Pinky & The Brain

MarshaBradyo · 29/05/2021 11:07

Nooo

Griselda1 · 29/05/2021 11:08

He's unusual enough to be intriguing but not necessarily in a good way.The way he's told everything, absolutely everything, is worrying and has destroyed some of the mystique and genius theories about him.It's almost too much to take in or even focus on and I thought he was cleverer than that.As for the bed curiosity I don't even want to think about it.

@GrimDamnFanjo

You could always ask Kirsty Allsop?
This has blown my mind! Just seen on Pop Bitch that Kirsty said he was a great shag.

Thanks for the tip! I'm actually applying for a job at JP Morgan at the moment - Jamie Dimon is another of my pet crushes! God - imagine, hom Lloyd Blankfein and Tim Geithner in a room together, chaired by Jemore Powell with Janel Yellin and Christine Lagrade.... I mean can you imagine 😳😊 you would just have to add Alan Greenspan, Mark Carney and Hank Pulson and we've got ourselves heaven on earth.

I get what you mean OP although we have to part ways on the Matt Hancock thing, he looks like the type of bloke who would cry or say thank you after a shag.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 29/05/2021 11:11

Sorry to disappoint OP. But as a Tory boy, he’s more likely to want you to dominate him and is likely shit in bed.

Noooo I can't take that kind of wimpiness in a bloke.
