Michael's perception of himself...

[TMoney]

... I don't know who he thinks he is. But he seems to be disgusted by any girl who shows him any attention or romantic interest. He needs to get a grip. He is so far from being attractive it isn't even funny. Its also a little pathetic when people rate themselves a little too highly looks and personality wise!

 

[melange]

Agreed. His personality matches his look if ya ask me... And that's not a compliment.

 

[torifrog]

I also find him unattractive ... BUT I think his recent breakup may be his reason for rejecting anyone.... he may be still mourning his long term relationship. I know it took me a while to get over my 1st marriage (which *I* finished), which wasn't quite as long as his recent relationship (which I believe *she* finished).

Not that I actually care either way.

When I heard him say he was not a touchy , feely person, it made a bit more sense too.
If you are a space person, don't liked to be touched etc...ie me....it is impossible to be comfortable when someone is in your space...let alone touching you.

Michael is clearly conflicted about Estelle though. When they cuddled in bed he was certainly touchy-feely - we saw him stroking her hair and her arm, and he was the one we saw motioning to Estelle to come over to join him in his bed. The guy's a fuckwit. If he is so turned-off by the whole thing - as he keeps telling Stacey & Ben - then he should just back off from Estelle, just tell her he doesn't want to keep cuddling. She would be totally cool with it.

So even if he isn't interested "romantically" in any of the girls in the house, he should string along any girls that show an interest in him because he is "unfunny" and "unattractive" and should be happy anyone is interested in him at all and just along with it and have a shomance?

it's not empathy to project your feelings onto other people. if you really don't care, then you're just in this thread grandstanding about yourself. seriously, it's not about you.

 

[aieee]

So failing to reciprocate 'romantic interest' = 'rating oneself highly'. Yes. It's high and mighty behaviour like this that circumvents true luv and marriage blossoming from unsolicited gropings on public transport. Stupid.

He is also no genius, for we see right through his manipulative, and failing, ploy to tarnish Estelle's reputation.

Using completely unrelated examples to make oneself seem smarter? aieee, you are pathetic. Seriously, get a hobby.

[mad]

For someone who is not touchy feely, he sure didn't mind touching up Josh...hugging, rolling on him, dry humping his backside. Confused much or in denial?

Ok. Try this. Ugly Michael is on a train. Random woman gropes him. Since Michael is so unattractive it isn't even funny, he should be honoured by that attention and romantic interest.
Better? That's a completely related example, in the context of exactly what you said.
PS Is there a drinking game for 'pathetic'?

 

[Strahan]

Believe me, Michael is fake.

Not better. Still completely unrelated. We are talking about the context of the Big Brother house. If there were a drinking game for 'pathetic', you would be an alcoholic.

You stated in your original post ANY girl, ANY girl refers to ANY girl. You also stated he SEEMS to be disgusted by ANY girl, which would indicate a wider sampling than those in the house, since apparently you are Nostradamus and a fine back-pedaller. So no, Nostradamus, it's related. It's also completely related since it's extrapolating from your original assertion which was this:

So failing to reciprocate 'romantic interest' = 'rating oneself highly'.

By your reckoning, since Michael is so far from being attractive it isn't even funny he should therefore be a) grateful for all romantic interest and/or attention and b) reciprocate that romantic interest and/or attention. In the Big Brother house. In a laundromat. In a police line-up. On an internet forum.

PS http://thesaurus.com/browse/pathetic?s=t (some alternative insults for you, because you're dead right, if there was a drinking game for 'pathetic' after reading your posts I would be sloshed)

When you are not a touchy person, no matter what or who, it is so uncomfortable for someone to do it that it gives you the cringes. Which I guess explains his remark about her making his skin crawl.
I don't know. He really seems to have kept all of the females at a distance. He said origionally stacey would be the only one cause she was funny and stuff. I notice that is not something that he has repeated to anyone

Can see your point. I was wondering how much booze they had all had that night ?? I know estelle had had a bit, but don't know about Michael. Boooze makes most barriers fall down.............and then comes the alcoholic remorseeeeeee. Ewwwww

Blokes being blokes ...showoff even.. trying to be funny. I don't know if there is not a Michael we have not seen. A very private part he does not like to show people. Like Ben ...we see it all good and bad....Stacey hs only just started to show us more.
I just don't know....but what the hell. I agree that if he cannot cope with estelle wanting to spoon he should just tell her. She seems to accept the truth without a big drama or hissy fit.

Yeah, I've already mentioned the booze factor. Estelle was definitely a little pissed and very merry in the diary room after the post nom drinks.
