To fancy Zelenskyy?

Yes, it’s in bad taste. Yes, I feel awful. No, I can’t help it. And no this isn’t even something I’d flippantly call a lighthearted thread as that would be inappropriate. My only question is, am I the only one? I am genuinely curious.

To make the Macron thing even creepier, he was her daughters classmate. It’s rumoured that they knew he was going to be a very high achiever and go into politics so it’s suspected that that’s why she went after him.

I told my husband I had a crush on him and he said he did a bit too. 😆

Back on to sexy Zelenskyy, here’s the video that made me fall in love.

Eww, I knew his wife was older, but didn't realise she was his teacher and that he was 15 when they met, @howler21

That is seriously creepy.

MidnightMeltdown · 13/05/2022 12:53

He's not bad, but he's very short!!

howler21 · 13/05/2022 12:54

@SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit.

It’s why I struggle to take him seriously as a president. I just see a 15 year old child who was groomed and never got the right intervention or support.

He's hot. But I'd rather be the filling in a klitschko sandwich

Lol 😂😂😂

TonyBlairsLover · 13/05/2022 13:07

@howler21 Ikr. As much as I wanted Le pen to win… I feel so sorry for him. She’s a vile predator who belongs behind bars

Gudbrand · 13/05/2022 13:15

No, you're not the only one.
He's really hot.
And as I've fancied the sum total of 2 people in the last 3 years, I think I'm quite fussy, it's something when I fancy someone!

Stylishkidintheriot · 13/05/2022 13:16

Doesn’t everyone? He looks like quite a nice normal guy. But really, he’s a bloody hero

Stylishkidintheriot · 13/05/2022 13:18

Yes! That video. So fucking calm and cool.

Ringmaster27 · 13/05/2022 13:19

No. You’re not the only one. I’d shamelessly let that man bend me like a pretzel 🥵

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 13/05/2022 13:19

here’s the video that made me fall in love

That was so powerful, the "I'm here, we're all here" video, coming shortly after Biden and others offered to rescue him and fly him to safety, and Z responded that he didn't need a ride he needed aircraft.

It seems Biden would shoot off and leave his country without a backwards glance if they came under attack.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 14:09

Apparently he’s survived dozens of assassination attempts, he’s Teflon Man.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 14:57

I’m relieved by the responses anyway. This being MN I genuinely expected a rant about how distasteful it is of me to be like a dog in heat over Zelenskyy when his country and people are in crisis.

Eranzer · 13/05/2022 15:01

Oh he's sooo hot. Agree with the Klitschko sandwich filling comment too!

TellMeSomeGoodNewsPlease · 13/05/2022 15:09

You are far from the only one. It might be partly the weird-horniness-of-war effect, but I think he just has a bit of an inexplicably hot vibe about him, as some men do, and just happens to be the elected head of state of Ukraine. The voice, the eyes, the arms, the charisma. Am not proud of myself, and largely keep it to myself, but I would honestly ride him into next week.

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/05/2022 15:10

Yes I thought this a while back.

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/05/2022 15:11

Well his face and arms are pretty good.

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/05/2022 15:12

It’s when he’s in that khaki T-shirt

Glitterspy · 13/05/2022 15:15

Yes that’s the video 😛such courage in the teeth of danger, like a stocky khaki demigod….

howler21 · 13/05/2022 15:18

he’s so lovely

MrsTerryPratchett · 13/05/2022 15:19

You will be told it's distasteful and shallow. But two points I think are relevant...

Zelenskyy knows and uses the media very cleverly. He makes us care about him and by extension, the Ukrainians. He's not stupid. We don't want the hot hero to die or his country to be taken. Figureheads are important. And 'men want to be him, women want to be with him' is a very good position. If he was a cowardly toad <cough> Boris <cough> Putin <cough> he would not have received the support.

Secondly, it is very basic psychology. The list of attractive qualities is short. We add our own twist but; funny, good-looking, brave, strong, rich and caring is pretty universal for heterosexual men. And he's literally the global exemplar for those right now. He's only missing height and you can't tell on film.

Yup, that sets me off!
