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 know someone who had a real thing for Peter Mandelson. Each, very much, to their own.

“DC is certainly the height of masculinity in some respects, but not the good ones.”

In what way is he the “height” of anything, let alone masculinity? I just see a dweeb in an anorak.

Well he strikes me as a world class mansplainer for a start.

And he’s got high level male pattern baldness.

Would you like to post a picture of yourself so we can critique it too?

Dom's baldness oozes virility to me.

YABVVVVVVVVVVVU.

He's an utter weasel. Just no.

TulisaIsBrill · 30/05/2021 14:02

I'm just glad that so far the polling suggests 50 people agree with me that he's the apex example of the male of the species. It doesn't surprise me at all that most people don't get him. He's such a beautifully complex person that It does take a very contemplative sort of personality to find the value in it. But when you do, oh my! He arouses sentiments that can't be found elsewhere.

@MissGendered

Machiavellian? He offered up the weakest excuse imaginable after being caught breaking lockdown. Now he's been kicked out of the inner circle he's backstabbing, gossiping and talking shit like a mean girl. Also he looks like Gollom when he runs.

I think the evil genius mask slipped once he started giving interviews.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
DolphinFC · 30/05/2021 14:09

He has many of the traits of a sub-criminal psychopath.

Hardly an endearing quality.

This is disappointing because I'm not trying to entertain. I'm trying to create a thought experiment on the essence of the libido, the mystic nature of the erotic, the why's and the how's that we fall for someone who may not be what the mainstream define as as attractive person.

To me, this thread has been an absolute eye opener in the sad fact that most don't look to the spiritual world in exploring the nature of their animalistic drives. I spend a lot of time meditating on this subject, and it was only when I was sitting under a tree, feeling at one with nature that the revelation hit me about Dominic. That he is where we will all evolve to - or what we should aspire to.

We should be reaching out children how to be more Cummings. How to unashamedly believe in ourselves. And how to look damn good in a single white shirt.

And maybe you weren't trying to entertain, but your way of writing is entertaining nonetheless.

mintice · 30/05/2021 14:50

You are very funny OP.

Personally, I’m all for the spirit world in informing my animalistic drives but, as a raw specimen, he’d be bottom of the evolutionary food chain, I’m afraid.

I'm also slightly jaded from overly enthusiastic wine consumption and wry wit and irony has whooshed over my head. Grin

TulisaIsBrill · 30/05/2021 15:02

Another way to look at this is historically.

There was a time in the past, where a waft of Mick Hucknall's unwashed dreadlocks was enough to be flooded with oxytocin for some.

For others, to quote Shania - 'ok, so you're Brad Pitt. That don't impress me much'.

This is analogous today where I think if anybody us ACTUALLY were in a room with Dom, and his intoxicating pheromones permeated our nasal cavity, we'd probably relinquish ourselves to the heady situation, and enjoy for a brief moment pure sexual escapism on the spot. I definitely would.

OP posts:
TulisaIsBrill · 30/05/2021 15:11

To be fair, some may still find Mick Hucknall attractive to this day. For me, it's a case of been there, done that.

We had our night and it was pleasant enough, but there's fresh meat to eat and I've got a steak by the name of Dominic Cimmings to have medium rare. It may only be in my dreams and fantasies, but by god I'm going to grab my Lovehoney wand and let that imagination run wild to night. Cumming indeed.

Not if he was the last man alive, there were no batteries to be found and the cats had gone off Philadelphia cheese.

@GrimDamnFanjo

You could always ask Kirsty Allsop?
What have I missed? I don't get this reference at all?

According to Popbitch KA and DC were once an item and, more worryingly, he was apparently “a cracking shag”.

This is probably the only downside for me as I detest Kirsty Allsopp. She has ruined this country almost single handedly with her encouraging of house price inflation. So the idea of being with a man who has been with her is extremely off putting. But at the same time, I'm pretty sure that she's correct and he knows techniques that have been lost to all but the sex shamans of the Bolivian Amazon. There was some speculation that he spoke to those who take Ayahuasca and was able to visualize sex as energy afterwards.
