Ia Zelensky a HVM?

You know, less than one week ago, an old lady told me that she thinks Putin must be a good man because he looks so soft and gentle - "like a sheep". I couldn't help but remind her that Putin is a cold-blooded (ex?) KGB agent...

As women, we really need to get better at separating what we need in a partner from what we see on tv.

Sure, he might be amazing, who knows. I know FOR SURE that he’s a great leader right now, and he’s captured the attention of the world with his charm and determination.

Yeah, that’s attractive. Sexy, even.

That has nothing to do with real life, or the moments that aren’t on camera.

So often I hear women saying how great this celebrity is, or that actor. They’re convinced to the core that they KNOW him on some level; how he is or how he feels or would react to something.

It’s all your imagination.

I work with celebrities, they’re a mixed bag. Some of them really do come across, but some are…not at all what they seem on camera.

I’m not talking about Zelensky at this point, this is a general observation.

But when we convince ourselves that this guy must be IT, that makes us vulnerable. We tend to drop our guard faster. Even meeting a man who kinda sorta reminds you of Zelensky, most women have a tendency to project their opinions on that guy, treating him better than they really should, before getting to know him.

Zelensky might be great, who knows. He’s certainly doing a great job of winning on the world stage. I hope he IS just as amazing in his relationship, we all deserve a hero like that for ourselves. We all deserve the dragon-slayer, the charmer, the guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously, but can totally kick ass when needed.

I hope he is HV. And I hope the world benefits from it.

I think that he is doing a fantastic job for his country. He has many HVM characteristics, but what we know is based on media that needs to make him into a superhuman in order to give hope to his country and the world.

We can never assign HVM title to a celebrity

We will never have enough information to answer this question. Public persona can be dramatically different from private.

He can be a good politic figure and an awful husband.. Idk if you can tell just from what you see on TV. Especially since there is (rightfully so) a very heavy anti-russian politics propaganda.

SupremeDearLeader · 2022-03-03T17:40:17+00:00

Propaganda is a helluva drug.

I found him cute and charming and later found out that he was actually an actor who was voted in so that made him even more likeable.

But I am hearing that BIPOC in Ukraine are literally being left behind while the white citizens get to flee the country for refuge. My question is, what is he doing about this?

2022-03-03T18:24:08+00:00

Speculation is a waste of time. I respect what Zelensky's done, but I don't know the guy personally let alone behind closed doors, so I can't say what kind of a man he really is.

Honestly, this line of thinking misses the point and does us no favors. It's like posts from FDSers who've known a guy for a month and are already calling him HV. You're making up an answer. Truth is, you don't know.

You only find out whether someone's HV through a lot of vetting over a long period of time with absolutely no red flags. You can't guess, let alone about a stranger from a distance.

If we were basing that judgement only what we've been presented so far, then sure.

edelbiatch · 2022-03-03T18:40:00+00:00

I had a good impression about him so far. Given everything I know about men and power, I highly doubt that a HVM will reach the status of a president, particularly in such troubled times in a troubled country. Since acting is a part of his former career, I wouldn't trust him blindly.

I can say that he is very charismatic. Which doesn't really say anything about whether he is trustworthy. People with narcissistic and psychpathic tendencies have a higher likelihood to become famous and getting in leadershup positions. They tend to perform better in high pressure situations than people who are low on narcissistic traits. Ukraine like many Eastern European countries also doesn't have a long history or feminist movements, especially when it comes to more subtle everyday sexism. For this reasons I would be very hesitant to call any Ukrainian politician a HVM. He could take good strategic decisions about the war while casually groping his secretary, who knows. I was let down by each of the celebrity men I used to admire since all of them had their nasty secrets so far.

He’s allowing foreign fighters into Ukraine, including far-right Neo Nazi groups to assist the Azov Battalion. https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/3ab7dw/azov-battalion-ukraine-far-right

These far-right Neo Nazis don’t believe women are equal. I know it’s a war and they need people to fight, but this is just as bad as a country allowing jihadist foreign fighters into a Muslim country. These groups are going to get battlefield experience, become stronger, and then migrate back to Western Europe if they don’t die in Ukraine. Ukraine is going to be like Raqqa at the height of the Caliphate for these groups.

In my opinion, yes. He is risking his life to protect his country when he could so easily have saved himself or turned it over to Putin. He has protected his family and is trying to protect his citizens too, while not backing down. He is willing to die while defending his country.

I am a full on fan-girl of Zelensky, he is everything a leader should be! I live in the UK and I can't imagine Boris fighting in the same situation, I can see him fleeing to a luxury holiday while citizens die! I am from Ireland and while I can't imagine Michael D Higgins fighting for us (but only because he is very old), I think he would stay in Dublin and do what he could if there was war. I would consider Michael D a HVM too. Boris obviously is one of the lowest of the low.

I think if there was anything LV about Zelensky we would have heard about it by now.

He pushed through prostitution legislature and is pro drugs. He considers Las Vegas to be an ideal American city. So I say....no
