One Direction. Completely manufactured boy band from the UK. But this group is more edgy than your typical boy band and they actually make decent music. Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry, Louis. Talk about your fave here.
Personally I love Louis, who is like a young J. Bamber.
And Harry, who can apparently give Michael Fassbender a run for his money in the dick department. And who has been known to engage in some affairs with older women.

Okay, thank god, I'm not alone here. If someone starts a thread, I am so there. I just don't want to be the one to do it because it will make me feel like one of those teachers who sleeps with her high school student in a Lifetime movie. Haha, this is why I didn't want to make one. Thanks, lpatrice for taking the plunge! I really love their new album, more than the first one. I like the live drum and guitar sound, like that Louis was given more to sing and Zayn sounds a.maz.ing. I like all of them, both their personalities and their looks, but Harry is my favorite one.

Okay, love you for this lpatrice.
Harry is my favorite, but objectively I would have to say that Zayn is the prettiest, in fact he's almost too perfect-looking. I think Niall is pretty cute too, sort of like a nice version of Draco Malfoy. I think they might actually stick around for a little while, since I agree with you that they have an edge. I think I have a soft spot for them because I used to be a big McFly fan and they have written for 1D. Oh, and I like Ed Sheeran, who has written for them too.

Bless you, lpatrice.
I will attempt not to write an essay, BUT Louis has the best ass (by like a mile. I want to grab it.), Liam recently gave an interview wherein he admitted to catcalling someone and not feeling horrible about it so he's on my shitlist even though his hair died for our sins, Zayn I would ride to the ends of the earth, Niall seems like the sweetest and is my favorite and I just want to kiss his sweet little potato face, and Harry had way better hair when he first auditioned for X Factor, seems like a douche, but I would probably hit it.
Also, I need someone who is better with voices than I am to assess the audio clip posted in the other thread. Is it Zayn or not?
Oh and some of their songs are good.

It's definitely Zayn. There was also a video where he was asking for a groupie's ID through the door. Yay that they know to verify age?
Liam has said so much sexist shit; it makes me sad.

Oh yeah, I think Harry is probably a total douche, in fact when I first became attracted to him (drunk and watching music videos on demand with my BFFs) I described him as having "serial killer eyes." Why that does it for me, I couldn't tell you. I feel dirty but hey, at least it's not Bieber. I'm sure the clip is Zayn, I mean I think he's definitely that dumb. I love all these ridiculous little controversies they get into. HA HA... Why are they not putting out a Christmas album? I live for cheesy boy band Christmas songs. ETA: Really? Like what? I tried googling "One Direction Liam sexist," but all that came up was "sexiest."

lol, He's said some stuff about it being "a man's world". And he's best friends with a homophobic, sexist idiot so I judge him.

From the Taylor Swift thread: I had read about the 32 year old but I didn't know she was married! And is she really 32? She doesn't look it in some of the photos. Cheating happens, but how many women cheat on their husbands with 17 year old boys? Maybe I don't want to know. Oh, the married lady is a completely different 32 year-old! Harry did not limit himself to only one. He openly dated Caroline Flack and then when Lucy Horobin divorced, it came out that a previously unknown affair with Harry was the cause. And yeah, she is 32, the DM are just bitches and used horribly unflattering photos of her. She looks younger and prettier normally. I love that 'You Don't Know You're Beautiful' song, but don't really know any of their other stuff and only know the members who have been target tabloids due to their relationships. I feel like the younger guy/older woman double standard really rears its ugly head with these guys. Commenters online always seem to go on and on about how weird it is. But apparently it's not weird when men do it. Ugh.

Harry was also recently linked to Alexa Chung, who I think is 30-ish. It seems like he definitely has a thing for older women... or just all women.
I agree that there is a huge double-standard, but in the case of Harry and Caroline Flack I think a certain degree of perplexity was to be expected, since he was 17 and she 32. Even if their genders were reversed, people would have raised their eyebrows over that one. Also, I think it surprised people for a guy as young as him, with a huge career just beginning, to choose to date an older woman. Which, I guess he dropped her when 1D got big in the US.
Even though I think Harry is pretty hot and definitely worthy of a one-night stand (or even a two-night), I can't imagine seriously dating a guy his age, and I'm younger than Caroline. Even if the guy was mature, and Harry doesn't really seem to be, it just seems weird. When I see guys in their mid- to late-20's dating girls in their teens I assume that they are doing it so that they will have control in the relationship and not be expected to grow up like they would be if they dated a woman their own age who would hold them to a higher set of standards than the young girl would. With a grown woman dating a teenage guy, I don't know if it's the same dynamic or not. I mentioned Lifetime movies about teachers having sex with their students as a joke, but in all seriousness I have seen a lot of them and also a lot of shows about similar situations and it usually seems like the women are still wanting to be teenagers. There was one in particular, I don't remember her name, but she would even talk and whine like a teenage girl (in a much different tone than her normal voice) when speaking to her teen boyfriend on the phone. It's like the women are stunted emotionally and they usually let the much-younger guy hold (or at least think he is holding) a certain degree of control in the relationship.
Sorry, I know that's going OT. I think I watch too much Lifetime/Investigation Discovery.

Caroline and Harry was a pretty big age difference, but TBH, there always seems to be some excuse why the younger man/older woman thing is wrong or gross or creepy. With Harry/Caroline it was that Harry was under 18, when 18 year-old Zayn dated 24 year-old Rebecca Ferguson, it was that Rebecca has two children. When Taylor Swift dated an 18 year-old, it was that he's still in school (as if that somehow made him not 18), with Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, it's that Justin still looks like a child (even though Selena does, too). Even with Demi and Ashton - an age difference that would go completely uncommented on if the genders were reversed - it was that Ashton acted like a frat boy. I think it just comes down people being uncomfortable with any relationship that seems to flout the established norms, which state that the man should be older.
