Mike Thurston could be the Hottest man on the Planet

He's hot but not that hot. His face is tuned, there.

He could be the hottest lay for the right price, allegedly.

He is stunning. Not to say hot or even sensual, really. He's overprocessed - the hairless body, the muscles, the hair transplants (which he is not taking full advantage of). All this paints a broad picture of a seemingly perfect individual.

He has some sort of "business" in Dubai but his money, apartment, Jag, etc. come from 1) family and 2) the real business that R2 suggests. He's got to be a whore.

But that nasal voice - the only turnoff; he could use a visit to an Otolaryngologist. Or lay off the cocaine, though he doesn't seem the user type.

And what is the difference between stunning and hot?

It’s amazing how many muscle stars are British now. I fight think gym culture was big there

I want to like him more but he’s so overtanned.

I got it. He's immaculately turned out but it adds up to phony.

^ Yes, he's going for the look of 'fine Corinthian leather'. His skin will not age well.

Just because someone goes to Dubai doesn’t mean they are you know what.

[quote] Just because someone goes to Dubai doesn’t mean they are you know what.

I’m going to Dubai!

And no fucking tattoos!

He is perfection.

DL = Jealous Bitches.

he's hot but definitely not the hottest on the planet

Better than most of the 5s and 6s DL usually thirsts over

Hi Mike. Welcome to Datalounge.

He’s the hottest on this thread. So far.

He hangs around other hot guys who are also known to be available for the right price. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Prove it.

Very hot. I like sporty guys so for me those abs look big enough.

R16, that’s what people who recklessly tell lies on others say

The thing about him is that he is highly intelligent too which makes me want to kill him (to keep him from a women) and yet I want to cuddle with him, too! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???

He's so fucking HOT!!! I can;t imagine him with a woman! it makes me want to barf!

Is he straight?

His body is perfect. Face is an 8/10. But the skin... way too tan.

Steroids, spray tan, depilatories, and hair transplants. Fuck off. I'll take an otter-type guy with as natural body over these types of fake-ass insta-whores any day. He probably lets rich arabs shit on him for cash. Fucking gross.

Is OP a woman?

Let me clarify: is the person who posted in OP a woman?

R20, you have serious issues dude

R23, as if you could get the time of day from a dude a fraction as hot

Except when it's Aaron Schock when he goes to Dubai, R9. That is definitely for you know what.

This guy is not remotely hot. He his COMPLETELY fake. Stupid fags and fraus that think this piece of shit is hot need to travel once outside their trailer park.

Actually r27, I have guys way hotter than this sucking my cock every weekend, and then presenting hole. I wouldn't look twice at fake tan steroids kweens like this loser or yourself.

Uh huh, sure 🙄

He's very hot but not rugged enough for me

He's certainly a contender. Too much muscle tho.

Gorgeous for sure !

A PUMPED up body and a CHISELED chest does NOT constitute the HOTTEST man on Earth.

A FLAT stomach is hot.

A chiseled stomach is NOT.

Uh huh, sure 🙄

I will reserve judgment pending verificatia of sizemeat.

And cut or uncut status.

[quote] to keep him from a women

Oh, dear.

[quote]And what is the difference between stunning and hot?

Usually about 15 years.

Meh. Plucked and plastic.

R35 is hilarious. And posting from 1970.

porn star

And he is or does or I should know because…. ??

Is he an Instagram “talent”?

Are we supposed to know who he is? Besides a vain narcissist, that is.

And Sarah Jessica Parker is the prettiest.

He's a whore, darlin'

Goals

[quote] Goals

You failed to complete your sentence, Mr. King.

Goals says it all

I love his eyes. That shade of blue makes a man look so intense. Like a Viking warrior raping me after conquering my village.

[quote] Just because someone goes to Dubai doesn’t mean they are you know what.

I agree. He is likely an OPEC oil minister.

He's done some helpful videos on his hair transplant operation and the drugs he takes to maintain his hair and the effect they have on his sex drive. (Minimal right now. My comment: Over time, who knows?)

Here's one of his videos showing before and after.

I've followed him on and off on youtube over the years. The vapidity of him bro'ing-out all over Europe with his homey's, all the while trying to convince you that he has grasped the golden ring of life, becomes all a bit too juvenile for my tastes eventually and I have un-follow for a while. Sick bod for sure. Seems to rep various muscle potions and skimpy clothes for a living. Seems a bit hard to believe that pays the bills... must be the youtube income and 'other sources'?

[quote] Seems to rep various muscle potions and skimpy clothes for a living. Seems a bit hard to believe that pays the bills... must be the youtube income and 'other sources'?

But Dubai is FAMOUS for exporting muscle potions and skimpy clothing! I'm sure that's why he spends so much time there.

That, and the lovely weather.

R42- I've seen photos of naked men from ca. 1971 and I do LOVE their natural ( no tattoos, no piercings, no rings, no shaved pubic hair ) slim ( no builds) bodies. I need to take a time machine back to the early 1970's when natural slim guys were EVERYWHERE.

No all guys are either fat ,muscular or both.

Too short.

Mike Thurston?

I prefer Thurston Howell The Third

I'm always a little amused by these no-name, sorta-hot ppl who throw together some youtube clip swanning around some vaguely exotic city as if they're famous and interesting.

"Follow ME to learn the inside dope on the REAL Ljubljana!!" or whatever.

It's a living, I guess. But a weird one.

[quote]Seems a bit hard to believe that pays the bills... must be the youtube income and 'other sources'?

What bills!!!!! He's an influencer. He gets loads of things for free on condition he promotes them. His latest Instagram post has 2 businesses tagged in. He's got a fitness app and a clothes line. No way does he pay market rate for the luxury flat he lives in in Dubai, or for the luxury gym he works out in.

There's no way he paid £12k for his hair transplant - not only did he not pay a penny, the clinic would have paid him to promote the hell out of - the video now has over 1 million views.

R60- Yes, he's an influencer on how

NOT to do things

Hot!

R62 linky stinky

Incredible

Mike, why are you lurking on Datalounge promoting your “THOTness” lifestyle brand go the thirsty old gays? Seems off brand.

He's nice to look at, but I can't see being able to do much with that. Too overdeveloped. When a man can't wear clothes properly because they're stretched to the limit over his muscles, he's just too damn big. He looks uncomfortable in clothes to me.

He's undeniably a good looking gut and has an exceptional body (when he's dieted down for a photoshoot).

But, he's hardly the "hottest man on the planet" by a far stretch.

No one is kicking him out of bed and few people are turning him down if they meet him out and about. But, there are literally dozens of guys I could name who I'd choose over him, given the choice, that is...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[quote] When a man can't wear clothes properly because they're stretched to the limit over his muscles, he's just too damn big

That's what makes a guy HOT!!

Precisely. That’s why people send him money just to gawk at his physique

Men work out everyday and avoid carbs so they can fit into their clothes like this

R67 has stated her boundaries.

No one cares.

r2 Ooh spill?! Is he Dubai boy kind of thing?!

r1 What is meant by a tuned face?

r16 Any names of the guys/ models/instahoes he hangs around with please?

[quote] Seems to rep various muscle potions and skimpy clothes for a living. Seems a bit hard to believe that pays the bills... must be the youtube income and 'other sources'?

Per Thurston, he's raking in several hundred thousand a year off his online business (selling training videos, etc) which are generated from his Youtube viewership.

[quote]Any names of the guys/ models/instahoes he hangs around with please?

Most of them have their own youtube presence ...

[quote][R16] Any names of the guys/ models/instahoes he hangs around with please?

Just look at who he tags in to he Instaho posts.

He’s one of the biggest names internationally in make aesthetics

Male aesthetics *

[quote] That's what makes a guy HOT!!

No, it makes them look like cartoon freaks.

And what Planet (sic) would that be, OP?

Because we're awfully tired of Uranus being the target of every probe.

R74 look on his instagram and YouTube and you'll see the names crop up.

[quote]Per Thurston, he's raking in several hundred thousand a year off his online business (selling training videos, etc) which are generated from his Youtube viewership.

His youtube channel is an extended commercial for his escorting.

With only 1.2 million subs, there is NO way he's making that kind of money off youtube.

Reading comprehension really isn’t your thing, is it?

That poster never said he got that money from YouTube, but from his online business of selling workout videos that his YouTube subscriber base helps promote.

Exactly

I'll never understand the need to white-knight instahoes honor. He's hot, but obviously manufactured, artificial is a boner killer for some people y'know.

Hot and manufactured is precisely my type

I came across him earlier this year or last year and jacked off a couple of times.

But, he doesn't have much of a personality and seems like he's morally bankrupt, so there wasn't much longevity in my interest in him. He's also straight or in the closet. So, I moved on.

Morally bankrupt? Based on what?

[quote] I came across him earlier this year or last year and jacked off a couple of times

In person?

Imagine licking your own jizz off his pecs after he's fucked it out of you.

JUST IMAGINE

R91 Just hire the whore already. Or is he over your budget?

When they’re tanned correctly, and lit correctly, and pumped correctly— for the perfect photoshoot, are they even really any more?

His face is beautifully proportioned and overall he is beautiful but he's extremely unsexy. The hairless bodybuilder aesthetic has never appealed to me because those men in their narcissism are very unmasculine. They seem like little princesses who spend most of their time grooming themselves in front of a mirror. Couple that with possible steroid use and we have an unstable asshole with shrunken balls prone to rage at a drop of a hat. He's all your, ladies.

In OP`s picture he has Melania Trump eyes!

R94, it definitely appeals to me bro

I love how huge male fitness models have become

I am never quite sure which is more ridiculous.

People declaring that the object of their affection is possibly one of the hottest men on the planet.

Or the ones who spend time arguing with the OP that they aren't.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Come to think of it, it might just be me who is more ridiculous thinking people will ever change.

Yeah, but we LIKE you, r99.

More!

Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, but there's a reason the Greeks were carving similar ripped bods out of 12 ton blocks 2400 years ago: it's ideal. Hotter, healthier, superior virality. Most here whining about the huge waste of time, and narcissistic vanity, are partly correct, but probably justifying their inability to achieve this level of fitness. Jealousy is the word if I recall.

[quote] but probably justifying their inability to achieve this level of fitness. Jealousy is the word if I recall.

It's just a matter of priorities; almost any one can achieve superior levels of body-beautiful and fitness (organically or with pharmaceutical assistance), but I would say that most merely look to sustain a proper level of health and get on with their own priorities and distractions. I expect that most people see so much emphasis on the body-beautiful as a meaningless indulgence.

Hot people hang around hot people.

[quote] superior virality.

Wouldn’t that mean they’d be sick all the time?

Shocked he’s British

He is far more a British ideal than anywhere else.

"Possible" steroid use?

He kind of looks like CGI or 3D animation.

Imagine having him in your bed

All bricked up

His face is gorgeous but, and this may be a hot take, the overly muscly body puts me off. I find guys who look like they live and breathe gym a turn off. There’s a happy medium. But in spite of my bitching, I’d let him bend and break me like a pretzel.

He’s precisely my type

Unitard

is his hole nice and sloppy?

He looks 3 feet tall in r124

That’s because he’s so stacked, yoked

He is part of the Wounded Warrior project.

His body is perfect…particularly when it’s photoshopped .

And they are ALL photoshopped for social media

That’s a corrupt organization if there ever was one

Hunky and handsome?

What an original you are

Lovely makeup jobs

I wonder what his junk looks like. Let us speculate ... humongous and bloated like the rest of him?

His skin is very similar to a leather chair I have in my den.

Still hot

Does he still have a sugar daddy in Dubai?

I'm going to Dubai!

Provocative

r138 What do you think he is trying to convey or signal in that photo?

He's got a fucked up hairline. In a few years his hair won't cover his head.

I adore him, I have to say.

[quote][R138] What do you think he is trying to convey or signal in that photo?

It's a screen grab from his Instagram stories. He's at some kind of party where people are joking about on camera. He's with some girls when he rubs the back of his thigh.

[quote]He's got a fucked up hairline. In a few years his hair won't cover his head.

He had a hair transplant a few years ago. He's been very open about it - he's talked about the side effects of the medication he's taking post transplant and the impact it has on his ability to get an erection.

Thanks R142 I knew there was an issue with the hair. I guess nobody can have everything...

He’s still blazin hot

Ideal

Beach

OP- He's the hottest HARDCORE SCENE QUEEN on the planet

Gross and unappealing. And this is not "fitness", it's chemically assisted body modification for the sake of "aesthetics". Also I hope he has a good dermatologist because he will need it.

r146 I would be shocked if a number of wealthy male patrons and fans have not sampled the delights of that!

I’m always shocked he’s British

Blah,blah,blah. Dick pics or he doesnt happen. Besides,what good is all that beauty if he has trouble getting erections ???

I prefer Thurston Howell The Third

I’m pretty sure he’s a bottom, R151.

[quote]Blah,blah,blah. Dick pics or he doesnt happen. Besides,what good is all that beauty if he has trouble getting erections ???

He doesn't have trouble getting erections, and he unleashes heavy loads, as he talks about at 16.40.

R152, All I know is Lovey seemed pretty happy! That cock musta been spectacular! LOL

Lovey? Who dat

Lovey Howell, Thurston's wife!

Oh

Polish

R159 Are they greasing up his steroid bumps?

I like natural guy next door types. Steroid muscles and overblown gym bodies are a turn off.

Thurston talks to Chris Williamson about steroid use here, at 11 minutes in.

His whole life is about being fag-bait.

R162 He sits there and brags about there being no universal test to show that he has never taken steroids. Well, DUH! But nobody is asking him about what he has done in the past. Nobody cares about that.

What about what he is doing right now? These Roid Ragers never agree to take a test TODAY! They always wanna talk about not being able to prove they NEVER took any steroids. That is a distraction. I bet if he was asked to take a random steroid test he would say NO. LOL

This whole interview is laughable. Why would he admit to taking steroids when he alone controls whether it can be proven? He is never gonna admit to it.

R161, I don’t care what you like

Spray

He looks like the lights are on but the dogs aren’t barking. Not sexy.

That’s why he’s sexy to me.

Coverman

Pec goals

Bump

His body is actively repulsive to me. So overdone and artificial looking, it goes from beautiful to extremely off-putting.

The ideal man physically

It's funny how despite having an ideal face and body, he's still unsexy and forgettable... He seems pretty boring.

My type.

Robot on steroids.

The Sun: Mike Thurston is a YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers. The social media star is also founder of the fitness coaching platform THRST.

Mike began weight lifting in 2008 at the age of 18, and left his home city of Leeds to pursue an Economics and Business Management degree in Newcastle that same year.

Throughout his time at university and afterwards as a club promoter in Spain, Mike adopted an unhealthy lifestyle, and it wasn't until 2012 that he decided to leave his partying days behind for a career in fitness.

Influencers frequent Dubai = escorts with a passport

Rumours vary wildly on how much the fitness star makes, but in March 2020 Muscle & Wealth estimated he made close to £396k ($469k) per year.

This has accumulated in a total net worth of $8 million, according to the same source, although other web sources claim it's closer to $1 million.

“I’ve always been into my sports. I played rugby consistently for ten years. If I wasn’t playing rugby, I was either involved in athletics, basketball, football, I even tried cricket, but I was terrible. Just before I turned 18 and the rugby season had ended, I had a sudden interest in lifting weights. I have no idea where it came from. All I knew is wanted to be big.” - Mike Thurston.

Well for $50K you can have some quality time with him alone in a 5 star hotel suite, a million dollars is just 20 arrangements!

Prove it

R184 you can't have him, move on!

He looks good but I don’t get any sexual vibes from him

From whom do you get sexual vibes?

r179 Gosh then reading between the lines many british reality tv stars d listers etc are escorts or escorting?

R188 lol not just British Z-listers, both Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie did yacht girl stint, they were paid million dollars for "The Simple Life" but still not enough for them. Gianluca Vacchi didn't fly Zac Efron to his private yacht just for a drink, Vacchi paid Michelle Rodriguez too, but that's a totally different payment for her yacht appearance.

PS. we are not really talking about those reality tv guys and girls, it's the fitness influencers in their early 20s jet setting, where is the money coming from?

[quote] Just because someone goes to Dubai doesn’t mean they are you know what.

Yes, Rose. Men with bodies like that often just go there to get a tan because it's so convenient.

Has there ever been any sort of exposé on the man-whoring (or even the whoring in general) in Dubai? it's so clearly such a thing there with all those blonde women and tanned men with fabulous bodies, and you hear all kinds of rumors about it here. But I've yet to read anything at length about it.

[quote] Just because someone goes to Dubai doesn’t mean they are you know what.

It's true-- some legitimate business men and gals work from Dubai.

He's hot but over tans his body and has for forever, which is a problem with Brit bodybuilders. Also he claims never to have taken steroids ever which I find hard to believe - I don't care if he has, it's pretending he hasn't that's annoying.

He's also a shortie. Other than that though, he is quite gorgeous.

R191 I always assumed that the Dubai government invited the Instawhores there and paid for their trip, room and board in return for a steady stream of photos from the area tagged with Dubai, UAE. A lot of lesser Instawhores probably go on their own because that's where the cool kids are posting from, but I'm pretty sure they are paid to be there, or at least have their trips compensated.

As for why they stay there for months? Could very well be a side deal for the closeted wealthy Arabs to ogle them in private.

[quote] Could very well be a side deal for the closeted wealthy Arabs to ogle them in private.

Somehow I think they do more than just ogle them.

His physique makes me wants to run to the gym now

R195 there's a market for straight guys posing and muscle worship, I'm sure, but I'd be surprised if more than a small minority of them went further than that. Most of them are right wing and very "bro"-ish.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

It depends. In 2022, there are a tons of straight identified dudes that engage in some level of interactive muscle worship. Most of them are cool with receiving massages, touching, and what not. Essentially PG-13 to R activity. A minority selectively engage in hardcore activity, including grinding, making out, only receiving oral. A tiny minority of hot muscle bros engage in commercial anal, and even then, very selectively. I am NOT claiming Mike Thurston does any of this.

He seems kind of useless.

Is he a Dubai porta potty?

He has a great sexy voice, too. But I can't get over his height.

Because you’re submissive

R203 As your dad said to you on your sixteenth birthday when you asked why he was in your bedroom at night.

You’re twisted and a creeper too

On the DL???? Gasp!

I don't think that there's even a wisp of homosexuality in Mike or his posse. Just a bunch of British guys 'bro'ing' out really. His videographer Louis is cute and has his own youtube channel; louisarmstrong7 or something like that. Louis is OBSESSED with his hair and is an influencer as well. He's somewhat entertaining once in a while. Anyway, they are all in Ibiza now with a few new faces joining them. Its all about cardio, going to the gym, eating, drinking, and all the bro stuff you would expect. Except sex.

I can’t speak for mike, but someone here has the quaint, erroneous notion that being a bro is inapposite with being bi or gay.

[quote]inapposite

Well, my time on the DL isn't a total waste I learned a new word!

r189 Zac had sex with an elderly or older wealthy guy? Well during the pandemic especially late 2020 onwards there was a bit of media furore here in the UK about reality tv stars or ex reality tv stars flying to Dubai and being given an exemption because being an influencer travelling to Dubai was classed as work.

Dumbbell

There's something very Black Mirror about Instahoes. An aspirational image is presented, but it's pretty obvious that all is not as it seems.

The photoshopping, airbrushing, the adverts that they try to make seem genuine, the pristine pads that seem too good to be true, the peppy "you can have all this too if you just follow my business plan" type videos, etc. It's all so synthetic and phony.

I'm a naturally cynical person, but I just don't believe any of it. And you can't say any of this in the comments, because they always have a fairly dedicated fanbase who will target you. They believe it's all genuine and seem to believe they can have the same lifestyle if they make enough arse kissing posts.

I’m naturally optimistic. More!
