To think Stanley Tucci is basically the answer to the question What Do Women Want From A Man?

[Draineddraineddrained]

He's talented, charming, cultured, funny, stylish, easy on the eye, exudes bonhomie, loves food and drink and travel and history. Basically the ideal dinner date. Masculine without being macho, intelligent without being overbearing, sociable and talkative without being a loudmouthed idiot.

AIBU to say that he's perfect husband material?

Glad to see the Mark Strong appreciation (or Toska as we will forever be known). Just had to rewatch Tinker, Tailor.

No idea what it is about him but it’s there (sigh)

I enjoy his show, but 'easy on the eye'? Er, no.

*he not we

@Nemorth

OP may I introduce you to Mark Strong and 1980s/1990s Patrick Stewart?

Both yummy.

Oh god. Mark Strong’s voice [puddle]

I know almost nothing about Andrew Garfield so I can carry on believing that he is the perfect man. Hot, muscled but not ridiculously so, sense of humour, plays piano and sings, doesn't seem to get involved in scandals or make a tit of himself on social media. Perfection as far as I know.

Fuck no!
Keanu, Keanu is always the answer to this question

I thought he was gay

The idea that all women want the same thing from a man is sexist. And homophobic.

Seriously. Painting women as a uniform aggregate is gross.

I’ve long had a bit of a thing for Mr Tucci (for his acting and chat show performances) and then heard him speaking Italian. ((wibble))

OK?

@Draineddraineddrained No you are not wrong! He’s a dish.

A human, fallible dish. Much more interesting. And a man who loves food and wine as much as that can’t be all bad.

BridgesofMadison I use stocky to mean shortish and well built, not as a euphemism for chubby. That might be wrong? But it's how I have always used it.

I am loving the Italy programme. Makes me want to eat pasta, go to Italy and have dinner with him as he seems really intelligent

Seems he left his first wife for some actress I wouldn’t put him as top of my ideal husband list even though he did eventually ditch the other woman and went back to his first wife.

Well, that escalated quickly.

This ^

I totally have a thing for bald men. Jean-Luc Picard was my first! I fell for him when I was only 12 and I love him still over 3 decades later.

If they are bald with a beard like my DH...swoon.

Intelligence, Grace, kindness, compassion, leadership are all key elements of the attraction though.

never heard of him, had to google, no thanks he's no RDJ.

Mark Strong is my choice too

@maras2

I fell for him after watching Murder One in 1995. It was a weird program but quite ground breaking, definitely 'appointment TV' and much discussed next day at work.

I bloody loved that programme! My mum and I were obsessed with it. I wonder if it's available to watch anywhere now?

@laquila you can find quite a lot of it on YouTube. Entirely legitimately i'm sure

But he's quite slightly built, no?

I don't fancy him but I do think he seems like a nice guy and quite funny. I watched the first Italy show recently and of course it all looks gorgeous.

@RobotValkyrie

Weeeeeeell OK. I hereby hand in my 'relatively decent human being' card for wantonly starting a lighthearted thread on Mumsnet.

PS I don't think Andrew Garfield is gay, is he? (we ARE talking about Andrew Garfield there, not Stanley T, right?)

@BloodyN0rah yes, behind ME 😂
