Pinc Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 8 hours ago, Bellenda Carlisle said: Did anyone end up disliking Louis Theroux on here? There is a bit in the swingers episode of Weird Weekends where he goes to a supermarket with the wife of the main swinger guy, who clearly doesn't want her friends and neighbours to know that she and her husband swing. When she starts telling the cashier that Louis is making a documentary about supermarkets, Louis laughs and presses her to tell them the real reason he's there. She's clearly uncomfortable and once they get outside he apologises. Given that the whole angle of the show is that this woman's husband has pressured her into a lifestyle she doesn't really enjoy, this sequence seems rather cruel and made me think twice about whether I'd actually like Louis in person.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 That horrible man @Frankie Crisp will probably veto this but Paul Rudd seems to be liked by everyone? Similarly Keira Knightley. She seems to have been quiet lately, hasn't been in much that I can remember though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Perhaps doing himself wonders on Twitter lately but I reckon Neville Southall would win a general election on his own tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted August 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 Henry Cavill seems like an absolutely brilliant guy, he also runs a charity to protect animals which is the exact opposite of Chris Pratt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes some really terrible films. I find kiera knightly really quite annoying though, sorry Devon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 I was wondering when I started this thread just how many women would be suggested here - and it's been about as few as I expected. Why do we reckon that is? Why is our perception that men seem to be more instantly likeable than women? Is it because most of us on here are men or is there a different reason for it?

Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2018 Probably because I identify with men and their character traits as regards masculinity more than women I'd assume. The whole "That's the kind of man I'd like to be" thing, as opposed to "The kind of person I'd like to be". I'm probably massively sexist and don't even know it. I dread to think what Laura Mulvey would make of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2018 It wasn't so much the "chasing" thing, more the comment of "I'm now afraid to chat women up in case I get called a rapist". He seems like a nice guy, but that was pretty stupid. EDIT: Ah, sorry - you were replying to Devon. Fair enough. Actually, now that Devon's raised the point, this is where I should do a bit of self-monitoring: why didn't it occur to me to name more women? There are plenty who seem or seemed really awesome: Tilda Swinton Miriam Margolyes Maxine Peake Carrie Fisher Whoopi Goldberg Natalie Dormer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think it's also the question being asked - it's asking who is universally likeable rather than who we find likeable. I have have a perhaps incorrect preconception that women will be more polarizing. Anyway - here's one now that old Ted has been shot down. Surely no-one dislikes Mary Steenburgen? Edit: replying to Devon and Butch. I'm not sure what you're talking about Carbomb. A little confused with your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Can I nominate Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson? He seems pretty universally liked. He's not even a good actor but yet millions (including myself) seem to watch his films - and he just seems like a lovely bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Butch was replying to the Henry Cavill article I posted, but he was replying to Devon's question as to why we as guys haven't nominated more women in this thread.
