To have a giant crush on...

... Harry Styles?

I'm obsessed with his new single. I love the sparkly jumpsuit. I could even make my peace with the nail varnish.

Ok so he's 10 years my junior and I'm getting married next month but a girl can dream eh?

No! I have a son the same age, it wouldn't be right.

LittleBoPeepHasLostHerShit · 18/05/2022 20:41

He's about as sexy as a baby koala in my opinion.

ABIIOR · 18/05/2022 20:41

I assumed everyone had a crush on him??

TheCaddieisaBaddie · 18/05/2022 20:45

It's Keanu Reeves for me (short hair), he just seems so nice and genuine. Married 26yrs but I so would without being asked twice.

Coasterfan · 18/05/2022 20:46

We are going to see him on 11th June! I don’t fancy him though I am just accompanying DD14 the 300 miles to Glasgow….

titsintiers · 18/05/2022 20:48

Not my cuppa tea but hey, different strokes for different folks!

I like the new single though.

Funny nostrils

SickAndTiredAgain · 18/05/2022 20:51

Until yesterday I'd have disagreed but then I read an article about his style that showed quite a lot of his various outfits and in some of them he looked gorgeous.

He's only two years younger than me so I feel like it's ok.

I’m with you on this OP, I’m 62 and my thoughts about Harry are most inappropriate 😜

Sparklingbrook · 18/05/2022 20:54

I think if I was 16 or 17 right now I'd be all over Harry Styles in the same way I was about John Taylor back in the 80s. But not as a grown up now. He doesn't do it for me. Rob Lowe still does.

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 18/05/2022 20:55

It seems he likes the older woman though, OP, so you may still be in with a chance!

Classica · 18/05/2022 20:56

He's definitely got something as so many people seem to be under his spell.

I don't personally get it though. His whole showbiz persona seems a bit 'M&S does David Bowie'.

Bobbins36 · 18/05/2022 20:56

Is there a menopausal women who doesn’t 😂

LetitiaLeghorn · 18/05/2022 20:59

I don't get it. He looks like he's 15. He's seems to ricochet between older women It looks like he's looking for a mother rather than a partner. Ugh. That's very unattractive.

Bobbins36 · 18/05/2022 20:59

Although @TheCaddieisaBaddie has a very good point…..

Yep!!!

but I'm ancient (53)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/05/2022 21:01

Yes, afraid I do too. I think a lot of the world does, tbf. He is the man of the moment.

MintLampShade · 18/05/2022 21:05

I personally don't get what the fascination is with him. I really don't see absolutely anything when I look at him. I don't find him neither charismatic nor sexy but I guess everybody has different tastes and types so dream away, OP! 🥰

MasterBeth · 18/05/2022 21:06

Are you being unreasonable for having a crush on a conventionally attractive pop star. Er, no. That’s what they’re for.

waterlego · 18/05/2022 21:07

YANBU OP, I’ve got a ridiculous crush on him. He is 16 years younger than me and not my usual type at all really. I’m normally drawn to hairy, slightly unkempt, grungy sort of fellas and Harry is so polished and pretty. My God he’s sexy though.

waterlego · 18/05/2022 21:08

His whole showbiz persona seems a bit 'M&S does David Bowie'.

I totally get what you mean 😂

Keanu is lovely. Matrix era, not Bill and Ted. Hi-five!

As for Harry - not for me. Probably because I was watching X Factor when tiny Harry auditioned.

Stylishkidintheriot · 18/05/2022 21:11

I think he’s handsome and absolutely adorable. But definitely don’t fancy him.

CaptainThe95thRifles · 18/05/2022 21:15

Each to their own 😂 Doesn't do anything for me, but it's hardly unreasonable to be attracted to a very conventional public figure...

Tonkerbea · 18/05/2022 21:21

Err, not unreasonable at all. I didn't get the fuss until that Coachella jumpsuit 🥵
