Late Flowering Lust !

Nell8

I still carry a torch for a burly builder I sat opposite on the London Tube back in the seventies. He was having a snooze after a day's hard graft. What did it for me was the bow tie he'd made for himself out of an old crisp packet!

I love that. Wish I’d seen him. ?

Now, you know that Greg Davies is mine @FannyCornforth and I will also add to the list Rick Edwards and Joel Dommet - they're all tall, manly and handsome. aren't they?

In his youth, Jeremy Clarkson was quite a dish - and he can hand over £1m to me if he likes.

I think Rick Edwards and Joel Dommet look like twins.

I wonder what sort of reaction there would have been to this thread if it had been started by one of the male Gransnetters asking the others who they lusted after.

I can't decide whether to put a grinning or a shocked emoji now, 'cus I'm genuinely unsure how I would have felt about it!

Very good point !!

Are there any male gransnetters left or have they all been chased off ?

Sam Heughan in Outlander. Also years and years ago Lorenzo Lamas in Renegade.

Rege Jean page and Gerard Butler phew ?

The guy who acts Henrix in Neighbours.
If I was only years younger..................

Another fan of Giovanni Pernice here.
Hugh Grant
James Nesbitt
James Norton
Young Elvis, pre army days
Matt Teal (ITV Central newscaster)
I know there are others but mind has gone blank.

I’m almost sure there are one or two male members on GN

@ JeanneLeFol ooooh Dan Rowan sports correspondent on BBC

Well, I’ve had a long term lust for Richard Gere. But he’s married someone half his age I believe and they have a child now. So not the same anymore.

David Gandy (model)

There's something about Steve in the Repair Shop. He has nice hands and eyes and looks kind

Aidan Turner
Hugh Jackman
Matt Tebbutt
but can I have a version of them with a french accent please!

Rufus Sewell for sure.

But I feel a bit over lusting after the opposite sex these days. Still, it’s nice to see a pretty face. Bertie Carvell is looking suitably gloomy and attractive in a buttoned up, well dressed sort of way in ‘Dalgliesh’.

Sorry ladies but the only man I lust over is my husband. He's just so gorgeous

When I was working in Manchester Tom Conti must have been stayiǹg in The Lowery Hotel as I was walking along the bridge he was coming towards me I smiled at him and he gave me a lovely smile back.
My list of lustworthy men is James Martin was George Harrison we can but dream.

My eye gets drawn to so many over the years but I always return to Harrison Ford. In his Indiana Jones persona I’d go weak at the knees.

There was also a time when I had the most ridiculous crush on Eric Cantona - even to the point of going to a football match just to see him in the flesh. He hasn’t aged well though.

^Old school - Paul Newman
New school - Mark Cavendish*

Oh yes, both of them too. I’m so fickle ?

What a nice, fun thread to make us giggle and take our mind off the awfulness in the world!! I always go for nice eyes, smile lovely manners, humour & wit. Here's my list:
Nigel Havers (those eyes and hair)
Tom Selleck (those eyes and shoulders!!)
Tom Cruise (gorgeous hair and nose!
David Frost (sadly no longer with us)
Alan Titschmarsh (beautiful blue eyes I saw him one day as he walked from the station...all the women were smiling at him. He is much better looking than on TV)
Idris Elba
Roger Moore (sadly, no longer with us)
Robert Wagner (oooh!!)
Michael Heseltine (yep! reminds me of my ex-husband who I still love!)
Prince Charles before his selfish behaviour with Diana.
Cliff Richards ( fell in love with him when I was 14 and he sang "Hello Samantha, etc... Gosh he was cuuute!!)

...............long list, I know! But there you are.

Oh yes the young Elvis Presley. Wow.

I chose the title of this thread based on a very old poem by John Betjeman, as a bit of fun. My days of lust are well and truly over, and actually didn’t really begin to start with ? being blessed as I was with neither a pretty face or fair form.
I think it’s lovely that even at an advanced age, in our hearts we are still passionate women whose hearts beat faster at the sight of a handsome guy. I don’t think the thread puts us in quite the same league as some old perv in a raincoat with a bag of sweets trying to lure Sean Bean into a life of sin ?
The threads on here are for everyone, chaps feel free without censure or judgement !
I should also point out that if I was a lady whose heart raced for other ladies, it would be for Marion Cottilard, who is such a beautiful woman. I may not lust after her, but I certainly wish I had her looks.

... guilty secret.

I still lust after the late Peter O'Toole. When he was young that is.

James Krishna Lloyd who was in The Good Karma Hospital series is rather gorgeous.

Not everyone's choice I am sure... but Jack Nicholson has the most amazing eyes
