Sorry nothing juicy or scandalous. Having to tolerate the World Cup for OH and just realised how young and handsome the players are?. Enjoying it a little more now.
Anyone else got a little confession? Or even a big one?

Tsk! Tsk!

I call it "art appreciation"!

Anniebach Sat 16-Jun-18 14:42:12

I call it ‘lusting’ ?

Grandma70s Sat 16-Jun-18 14:45:52

Footballers?! Really? Not for me.

JustALaugh Sat 16-Jun-18 14:48:14

Not for me. Footballers aren't manly enough for my liking. I prefer rugby players.

I discovered ‘House of Elliot’ having a rerun and just enjoying it when DH came in looking for the football! Luckily I had taken the precaution of recording the HoE too so I can watch it later.

Its rugby players that do it for me lol

anniebach I come from a background where l
“lusting” is sinful but luckygirl “art appreciation” is quite proper and acceptable. I am artfully appreciating the Icelandic football team - imagining them in Viking costume! Might have got my cultures mixed up there ?

Aw house of Elliott. Delightful.

Teetime Sat 16-Jun-18 18:19:24

French rugby players legs!!!! Wow.

I'm looking forward to appreciating Yann Sommer the Swiss goalie smile

I nicked a bit of bacon off my OH's macaroni cheese ...I'm on 800 calorie a day diet ...oops.It was only a very small bit of bacon .
To be fair I've stuck to it like glue for over 3 weeks and lost a stone,but the smell of the bacon was temptation overload.I'll be good again tomorrow

I prefer rugby players.
There was a great interest in rugby by the girls at college years ago, I don't think it was the actual sport, more the muddy legs that were the attraction.
Now, if men started a thread like this would they be castigated?

paddyann are you on the right thread? grin I could ignore the bacon but might have pinched a spoonful or two of the macaroni cheese

Husband's just been given a box of Maltesers for Father's Day - I've just eaten a handful while he was out of the room - well he needs to lose weight grin

jalima was just waiting for that comment to be able to “what’s sauce for the goose .....” but actually the thread was meant to be about confessions, mine just happened to be sexist. Slapped hand.

Feelingmyage55 Sat 16-Jun-18 19:52:07

My hand not yours!

Jalima1108 Sat 16-Jun-18 20:34:50

grin

Footballers' legs just aren't the same Feelingmyage

paddyann Sat 16-Jun-18 22:18:33

I made a confession* Jalima1108* I dont watch football and cant remember the last time I found a strange man attractive ..is that a different confession?

Jalima1108 Sun 17-Jun-18 19:15:10

Oh, sorry, I thought you'd got the wrong thread
I'm not keen on strange men either grin

GrannyGravy13 Sun 17-Jun-18 19:56:43

Sorry it's show jumpers / 3 day eventers that do it for me. Tight white jodhpurs and knee length riding boots.

petra Sun 17-Jun-18 20:21:01

jalima
I don't find 'strange' men attractive, but I'm attracted to many men that are 'strangers' to me.
As there's a football theme here, I do lust after David Ginola, yum yum grin

Jalima1108 Sun 17-Jun-18 23:14:45

now, when was the last time I found a not strange but a stranger attractive

hmm I must be getting old
Oh yes, Rupert Sewell grin but I've never met him, unfortunately.

I used to dislike football but now due to the obsession of DS and DGS I hate it, especially the baying crowds and inane commentaries. If I can bear to look there are a few with hair that appear attractive. The shaved bald heads just look old to me and yes I am old too! Maybe growing up in the sixties has had an impact!!!

PECS Mon 18-Jun-18 08:21:36

Muscles have never appealed to me..too representative of the type of male Ì dislike...generalisation I know but you have to start somewhere #somanypebbles
