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.

Yep, also really fancy him and feel very bad about it. I’m aware I’m in common with vast, vast numbers of women (and probably gay men too) though.

Trying very hard to ignore it though, as it seems really inappropriate. The only redeeming thing is that it does come across that he doesn’t mind a bit of light hearted fancying by the entire word 😂

But also, yes I’m sure that his very attractive wife is in now way under threat by these droves of “well wishers”

😂at the Khaki Demi God comment.

Sadly, his fine wife will easily bat away any keen peri menopausal MN posters who lust after her dh. Hmpf.

She looks older than him

SarahSissions · 13/05/2022 17:13

Sexy as f@ck.

In a world of toxic masculinity, he is everything a man SHOULD be. I feel guilty to it seems a bit inappropriate, but yeah he’s lovely

howler21 · 13/05/2022 17:15

He definitely encourages it. He knew what he was doing with that vaccine video and that was pre-war, with Ukrainians as the intended audience.

If he ever wants a bit of a break from Ukraine and the war, he’s perfectly welcome to my spare room. DH wouldn’t be blessed pleased if I offered up our marital bed, so the spare room will have to do.

In all seriousness though, he’s got a lovely family and I hope they all remain unharmed.

To fancy Zelenskyy?

Not sure if I met him IRL I would fancy him but he definitely has something. I also think the appeal is the fact that as well as being strong and having a sexy accent, he is so in love with his wife and a proper family man.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 13/05/2022 17:21

You are not the only one op

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 13/05/2022 17:30

That is the other problem - the fact that being a good family man is part of the appeal.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 17:33

Feel genuinely sick at the thought of Boris in Zelenskyy’s trademark green shirt.

Also, I think Zelenskyy is the only man that can wear a generic green fleece and make it look sexy.

£90,000 it went for.

He's not for me, I was put off by the video of him naked playing a piano - didn't find it funny at all. And I wish he'd get rid of that bloody khaki fleece! He's probably a nice person though and I've nothing against him.
He is head and shoulders above Justin Trudeau though, who I literally can't stand. Macron is better than Trudeau, but not by much.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 17:37

@GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing.

Yes, it’s odd isn’t it. It makes you feel bad for fancying him when he’s got his wife and kids. But it’s not like any of us have any sort of chance nor are we planning on ditching our current partners for him, so generally it’s harmless.

But I get what you mean. In a real life situation, you can’t really pursue a married man because you’re attracted the fact that he’s a family man, because in the process that would ruin his family and he wouldn’t be a family man anymore. And even if you then had a family with him, it’d be tainted.

Oh yes, he's hot alright! It was the wink that did it for me...

Neverreturntoathread · 13/05/2022 17:44

howler21 · 13/05/2022 12:35

And the way he’s stayed with his people as well, so admirable. You just know if we (and most other Western countries) were in the same situation our leaders would abandon us.

Haha yes imagine how fast Boris would get on a plane if Britain was invaded! Then he’d be tweeting from some safe sunny island “I think what the British people really want is to know that I’m safe.”

Anyway yes Zelensky is hot as hell.

whiskyjarsafilling · 13/05/2022 17:47

If he were single he’d be the world’s most eligible bachelor!

What woman wouldn’t want to be impregnated with those superior genes?!

SarahSissions · 13/05/2022 17:48

I do wonder though if it might piss Putin off just a little if he knew that women get their panties in a twist over Zelensky. Let’s not forget Putin released those topless horse riding pics that turn the stomach in an attempt to look macho 😂

ChocolateCakeYum · 13/05/2022 17:48

Yes! Love a bit of Zelensky but he’s still not as hot as Justin Trudeau (just want to run my hands through his hair lol) and I have a wee thing for French men so Emmanuel Macron is right there amongst them too.

British politicians are just boak in comparison.

FloLoNo · 13/05/2022 17:50

@catsonahottinroof

I couldn't help but google it. Was this video made recently, it's actually <ahem> quite funny! 😁

I love the energy, they have great PR, the Ukrainians.

And then there is this one

He's quite mad, I fancy him even more now 😇😜
GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 13/05/2022 17:50

Boris would be nowhere to be seen! Straight on the plane.

@howler21 I think that’s the thing with a lack of proximity- you can just admire from afar without needing to make sense.

SarahSissions · 13/05/2022 17:51

Boris would do me though… but then I do have a pulse

Flossyhair · 13/05/2022 18:00

I wouldn't kick him out of bed for farting. I would also ride that man like a pony if I could (in my dreams!).

I am getting all flustered just looking at him.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 18:03

@FloLoNo.

those videos should put me off, and they would do with most men. But nope, too far gone with Zelenskyy.

BiscuitLover3678 · 13/05/2022 16:12

omg 😂😂😂 my thought was he’d do the opposite. Rummage around and make you pay for the wine.

OH my God that made me laugh!

So true 😋😍

Sense of humour and not taking yourself too seriously is very sexy in a man. Luckily my dh delivers on both fronts. I'll have to share the videos with him.

whiskyjarsafilling · 13/05/2022 18:14

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.

Exactly! Other world leaders just assumed he'd want to bugger off and leave his fellow country men and women to be slaughtered. Because that's what they would do. But he didn't did he? He's a genuine bona fide hero that man.

howler21 · 13/05/2022 18:19

Yes Boris isn’t the wine and dining type at all I don’t think. He’d be absolutely meticulous about making sure that the bill was split exactly 50/50, even if he’d had the more expensive glass of wine and you’d been on the house wine. He’d be funny about getting a bottle to share because he’d only want the most expensive even if you couldn’t afford it. He’d also be funny about leaving the tip and if you left one he wouldn’t contribute.

I hope that nothing nasty pops out of his past, this man if he stays the course and WINS THE WAR, deserves a medal, noble peace prize etc... ill forgive the non hairy chest, love him
