I suppose he is different in the way he dresses.
Most men his age seem to have had a fashion/style bypass. The vast majority have hair cut too short and wear grubby looking sportswear.
I’m not into him myself but think that could be his appeal.

He seems like a decent guy.

Can’t stand his music though (not sure why his music is so hyped it’s really bland) and his tattoos and dress sense are terrible!

MeinKraft · 13/04/2023 23:12

He seems quite decent, respectful of women, he has a nice voice, he looks good. I don't see what's not to like really.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 13/04/2023 23:15

I don’t see the appeal at all.

He’s easy on the eye, likes goats, wrote a song about female orgasm, wears dresses. What’s not to like? 😂

Nope don't get it either. Never stood out on X Factor as being anything special.

@Trixiefirecracker Which song was that?

I expected to hate him but I just can't! His music is very catchy too.
He's not afraid of what people think and is happy with himself without being arrogant. I like a man in a dress 🤣

Some of his clothes remind me of my Nan. I like that in a whippersnapper. There's something comforting about wondering if he's about to offer you a toffee.

He didn't really have to stand out. He has what it takes to turn himself into something special. He has been in your for almost 2 years now delaying out huge venues worldwide.

@SorePaw Exactly the same when he was on X factor and in a boy band etc, didn’t even notice him and obviously would have found being attracted to him completely gross. But in the last few years..something changed 😬

@Wokenupbybirdsong

yeah I still don't get it myself, but as he is now a proper adult, no harm in you (&half of Mumsnet) getting all flustered over him😂🤣😂🤣

@Wokenupbybirdsong watermelon sugar supposedly.

JaninaDuszejko · 16/04/2023 07:22

He is objectively very physically attractive and seems well grounded. He was a very cute teenager and at 29 is probably at his peak attractiveness, there's still some of that youthful prettiness there to attract younger women (my teenagers love him) but it's balanced with enough adult masculinity now to make him sexy to older women.

But I think women tend to either like hyper masculine men or pretty boys so if you like the former you're not going to find him attractive.
