Who cares what his sexuallity is, so long as he is comfortable with it what does it matter. He certainly is very tasty eye candy and certainly not lacking in the mens underwear department.

he is still a nice looking guy who is enjoying retirement. Ian trained his ass off for years to become one of the greatest swimmers ever. So now he has retired why shouldnt he enjoy all the stuff he could not indulge in when he was in training?

LOVE his butt!

Oh come on Guyz... Look at him now http://lh3.ggpht.com/_92Nijq5O4uI/SYGS7-wiNhI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/q_obZy8ER-E/s1600/Ian-Thorpe-Flabs-4.jpg

Do you still get wet on him? Well, 17 maybe Yes! because of he's height.... Mostly size of the feet determined on our height...

Yeah, yeah, yeah - you posted that link in the other thread, too. His shorts could be a better fit although if I had my druthers he just wouldn't have bothered with them at all :biggrin1: You may not like that shape but he looks good to me, and several others here too.

I hope he watches it. I was very thin and fairly well built until I reached 35, and I started gaining. I looked a little like he does for several years, and then it went crazy. Now, I weigh over 100 pounds more than I did then. I used to wear Speedos. I couldn't even get one over my thighs now much less up where it belongs.

Just a warning, it gets harder and harder to stay trim as you grow older, and if you stop, just for awhile, the fat jumps on you.

Also, as Oprah's favorite doctor said on her show one day, every thirty pounds a man gains causes him to lose one inch in his visible penis. If I gain much more, my penis will disappear....

I think he is OK'
Natural ageing process
Sad that our expectations are such we want to continually see specimens in there prime ..maintain such ..for our visual pleasure
Gaurantee we have all mostly changed and put on weight compared to 5/10/20 years ago
A little foolish to expect him to retain his body as to when he was at his peak huh'
Perhaps people like the slim Jamaicans etc will haturally remain slim
Thorpedo looks comfortable to me, not at all unheathy ..thats what matters.

I have never believed Ian should 'come out' for whose benefit would that be
(always believed its an individuals right as to come out' or not anyway)
He does not have to prove himself ...any more
As for Gays ..possibly thinking it would be Great to have him as a Gay Icon..( assuming he is of course)
Fck em/us i reckon
Never bloody satisfied us Humans
When the Rugby Leauge guy Ian Roberts came out years ago...people tread wearily in my books .. as he was one of the Tuffest guys around..and to me folk were just in Awe of him...unlike Thorpe..a gentle type of guy ..think that makes a lot of difference in peoples perception of folk
I believe Thorpe gave his ALl at the time to the World..he does not have to continually give of himself
its like our expectations of the Royals??
my thoughts

(incidentally Matthew Ridge was in the team at the time of Roberts...supposedly Str Ass Ridgey..well i am sure he knew full well not to hassle Roberts for hs Gayness...would have got his smart ass Head Knocked off .. for sure)

Makes intereting reading of his carrerr .. Ian Roberts that is.

Don't be hatin' on my man Ian Thorpe! He's always been a favorite of mine and I was sad to see him retire from competitive swimming. He's one hell of an athlete (Australia's leading Olympic gold medalist) and sexy as hell.

If you recall, during most of his career, he really didn't have the traditional "swimmer bod" that we associate with top-tier swimmers today. Here are some pix to refresh all of our memories (with a deep sigh hoping those gay rumors are true).

Apparently, the gay gods are smiling upon us today. A few hours after I wrote this, I came across an Australian media report which asserts that Ian Thorpe's three-year "house-mate" (Brazilian swimmer Daniel Mendes who is studying in Australia) is actually his live-in boyfriend. (As in the past, Ian denies any gay relationship claiming the two are just friends.) See the short version from Towleroad at the link below.

Aussie Swimmer Ian Thorpe: I'm Not Gay - Towleroad, More than gay news. More gay men

Here's the best pic I could find of the purported boyfriend, Daniel Mendes.
