Maudi

I think Macron is trying to emulate Zelenskyy trying to look manly and tough, I think Macron is a strange man married to a woman who could be his grandmother, no children, makes one think could it be a sham marriage of convenience to hide something although in this day and age there would be no need. Boris on the other hand has proved his verility with numerous children and women. I think if I was young again and these two were on offer I know who I would pick for fun, frolics and a few laughs ??

Re-examine what you’ve written Maudi. That is the most disgracefully nasty and prejudiced post I’ve seen on Gransnet. Has it occurred to you that Macron married his wife because he loves her, and he isn’t a serial philanderer unlike some? All I can say is that if you actually believe what you’ve written Boris deserves you.

Sorry to derail this a little, but I just found this and it made me laugh.

There is a 24 year age gap between Johnson and his present wife. Clearly a sham marriage, eh Maudihmm

I think Macron is trying to emulate Zelenskyy trying to look manly and tough. By relaxing on a sofa in a pristine white shirt and smart trousers?

I think Macron is a strange man married to a woman who could be his grandmother She's gorgeous, clever and only 23 years older than him.

no children She was 54 when they married.

Makes one think could it be a sham marriage of convenience to hide something although in this day and age there would be no need So why mention it then?

Boris on the other hand has proved his verility with numerous children and women. So many that even he has lost count.

I think if I was young again and these two were on offer I know who I would pick for fun, frolics and a few laughs I think you would probably get along just fine.

Nice one Mamie.

I have no problem at all with Macron's choice of older spouse and I trust he happily shares in the lives of Brigitte's children and grandchildren like his own.
I'm not quite as comfortable with the teacher/pupil background attraction, but I don't know how far that went.
Luckily I found a man who is dishy, intelligent and who enjoys fun and laughs. We're off to the beach now with the dogs to frolic about because he is off school this week. Actually both Macron and Boris have dogs, so I'd find it hard to choose.

Mamie Tue 19-Apr-22 08:49:54

So Maudi the age gap is fine for Johnson and Carrie, but not Macron and Brigitte?
Hmm....
By the way I think you mean virility. Words starting with veri tend to come from the Latin for truth which is not a prefix I would associate with Johnson.

Very unpleasant post Maudi

That's gone wrong. I've asked for my own posts to be deleted.

Do you say that about men who marry women with a 25 year difference younger than them?

Macron is a faithful solid upright citizen. The other is a soiled and has a police record.

Perhaps Emmanuel is wearing his wolfskin fleece under his shirt.

Sacre bleu...

That's weird indeed. During the 2017 Macron had a smooth chest! Les tendencies de la mode change very quickly in France.

Joseanne Mon 18-Apr-22 21:32:09

I'll have to try and source that headgear on Boris to match.

The photoshop, not the fleece ?
