MAFSAUS 2025 - Thread 3 (No Spoilers): “TV’s in bedrooms bring on the tears, snoring at bedtime stirs big foghorn fears, gaslighting, AWOLS and warrior things, nobody’s jeans fit as tightly as Tim’s….🎵”

Let’s go……

Apart from tall Dave, who totally isn't my type but is a lovely man. So might be in time.

Yeah definitely. I think a lot of men if there's no attraction there the minute he sees a woman he just checks out. For women (well me anyway) it sometimes takes weeks/months and then a lightbulb will just go off and I'll realise I find a guy attractive. I suppose for me the feelings come at the same time and that's why it takes a while, if I don't have any feelings there's no attraction. Men it's ALL about the initial attraction.

Tall Dave reminds me of my son 🙈

I am not sure about tall Dave. I feel like we aren't seeing everything when it comes to him

I hope he's genuine and continues to treat Jamie well. I'm very bad at weeding out the wrong'uns in the early stages though.

My feeling is that the producers think he’s a bit boring, so never shown. I also think Jamie’s full on involvement in the dramas is not his bag. They are polar opposites, really. Which sometimes works, I guess !

Yes I was saying that.

if asked to say rank Brad Pitt v Tom cruise v George’s clooney (by me, a clearly less attractive person) then it would be amusing to me and I’d make up silly /superficial reasons to slightly neg then to give reasons to order them. Like trying to objectively rate Julia rivets v Claudia shiffer. Too much teethy smile. Or too much hair bounce. When actually they are all gorgeous.

it’s obvious you should put your partner first. But if you have one of the clearly less attractive partners that’s hard to do and be honest. Refusing to rank may be better.

Tall Dave has made me eat my words on heavy tattoos. I reallly dislike tattoos and ‘neck taaats’ are the worst. But he’s such a gentle giant at the moment.

I think that whole task is impossible! You’re on a hiding to nothing if you ask your partner how you compare to others. What do you want ? Brutal honesty? I’ve been married 28 years and never asked that question. Of course there are more attractive people and less attractive people than me/you but attraction is not just 2D. How someone is and how they talk, walk, act is so much more than their face value. Billy did the right thing and I hope more do that in future so they ditch the whole thing.

I've known exes of partners and some really don't have a 'type'. Physically anyway.

Hopefully it's just the less visible tatts.

Have binged all this seasons episodes in the last 3 days and up to speed now.

Adrian looks like Sammie from Love Island. It’s the very dark hair, microbladed eyebrows and turkey teeth!

It’s hilarious that Ryan and Jacqui are the male and female version of each other yet they can’t see it and are getting totally frustrated with each other. Genius casting there.

I could be barking up the wrong tree here but I think there’s more than meets the eye about Paul. He’s got away with zero questions being asked about the fact that he ghosted his wife (forgotten her name). I reckon he’s hiding something. 🧐

Caught up last night and have just finished reading all your comments.

Does anyone else think that Ryan has been on one of those “dating courses” where they get sent out into the street with an earpiece and told by someone behind the scenes to go and chat up random women? He certainly doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to realise that Jacqui/The Grinch was playing him at his own game.

Don’t think that Tony has too much going on between the ears; he just wants someone to sit next to him for company and not say too much. Just smiles along inanely hoping no one will notice he hasn’t got much to say.

The older couples always struggle on Mafs - generally the man wants a compliant wife rather than someone with her own opinions and ways of doing things.

Gawd, finally caught up.

I love that you can spend an episode see-sawing between who you hate more - Jacqui or Ryan.

Billy is a sweetie but dangerously close to a shitlid.

Jake is an absolute arsehole - making out it was all banter, she wasn't reacting as if she thought it was funny at any point.

Can we please have 'dopamine shooting out of my arse' in the next thread title? 😂

What is going on in these last few minutes of hollyoaks 😭

Is Mercedes pregnant by some criminal again and doesn't know who the father is?

No idea but the decor is truly awful.

Oh God 😭😭 another stalker

It's been 20 years and she is still the same!

I am watching live tonight

I do love a commitment ceremony!

Leopards, and their spots... And she sure does love her animal print.

I'm ready for some of these men to get their arses handed to them 🤭

We're going to have 10 mins of recap aren't we?
