... to think you wouldn't touch Ryan Giggs with a bargepole?

"Giggs found love again with lingerie model, Zara Charles, 33, who has 'supported' him through the charges."

I don't want to get into the legalities of the ongoing case, but what normal woman would knowingly get involved with the likes of him?

One who likes to gain attention, or thinks she can change him or likes the lifestyle?

MarshaMelrose · 08/08/2022 23:10

Women who like being treated, badly? Didn't the one involved in the present court case against him, get together with him after he'd been shagging his sister in law for several years. That surely would give most people pause for thought, but not her. Nor this one. Why would he treat women well when so many are queuing up to risk be treated badly?

Because she thinks he couldn’t possibly be like that towards her, as he’s probably been on a major charm offensive, tale as old as time. Plus she’s probably got low self esteem.

Y0u may get a load of "innocent till proven guilty" comments, but YANBU, a greasy slimeball if ever there was one

Lots of women choose relationships with men with dodgy relationship histories and that's without the fame and notoriety someone like him brings

OnaBegonia · 08/08/2022 23:22

People seem to have quickly forgotten he was shagging his brothers wife for 7 years.
Nasty selfish man.

MarshaMelrose · 08/08/2022 23:22

to think you wouldn't touch Ryan Giggs with a bargepole...

And an STD clinic on standby.

AthenaPopodopolous · 08/08/2022 23:22

Abusive men always move on and sometimes don’t repeat the behaviour in new relationships. He is is a shit though and I wouldn’t...

catandcoffee · 08/08/2022 23:23

He just needs the right woman 🙄

Allywill · 08/08/2022 23:23

I wouldn’t touch any footballer with a barge pole personally.

Exactly

GinIronic · 08/08/2022 23:23

I wouldn’t touch him with somebody else’s barge pole - let alone mine. Look what is allegedly did to his brother and sister-in-law

This.

No morals. Horrible man.

AardvarkLaughs · 08/08/2022 23:26

Because he hasn’t done anything wrong, his ex is crazy. Probably all his exes are crazy actually 🙄

Just go on any online dating app and you’ll see the same story over and over. Men who don’t see their kids, have convictions, want a ‘chill girl’ because of their crazy ex(es). He might be famous, but he’s nothing special or unique in this regard, he’s got a well-worn story that works eventually if you tell it to enough women (because of many reasons).

Penguinsaregreat · 08/08/2022 23:26

Women write to murders and rapists in prison, then start relationships with them. Nothing surprises me.

Iamconfuzzled · 08/08/2022 23:29

Cost of living crisis...

It's crazy.

Endlesssummer2022 · 08/08/2022 23:32

I chose YABU because unfortunately tons of women will still want to be with him and he knows this too.

Whatkindoflifeisthis · 08/08/2022 23:35

£££ and fame. That's why they go with him.

Janesdufflecoat · 08/08/2022 23:37

I haven't forgotten him & his brothers wife! Absolute despicable low life! 🤮

AnnieSnap · 08/08/2022 23:39

She either accepts his account of crazy ex’s or thinks she can save him from himself 🙄

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 08/08/2022 23:43

No I wouldn’t.

And I used to really fancy him when I was a teenager in the 90s!

He turned out to be a nasty piece of work by all accounts.

Nasty selfish man.

Shagging his brother’s wife and reportedly pressured her to have an abortion. Now I’m pro choice, but her choice, not his.

RestingMurderousFace · 08/08/2022 23:45

His new girlfriend lives near me, I see them walking the dog sometimes. Never seen either of them smile.

A bimbo who wants money and attention.
