Did we really know if Rafael and Manu broke up, though?

If he's really single and wants to hook up with a famous guy (BTW I don't believe he will start dating famous people lol) - which ones you think he would?

Based on his relashionship with Rafael, I think he wouldn't date the stereotypical prince charmings people desperately want to "ship" with him. He probably would date someone older and/or with Kinky vibes- like Josh O'Connor (glass closet), Omar Ayuso, Lukas Dhont, Jon Kortajarena, Carlos Cuevas, Omar Apollo, Elbio Bonsaglio etc..

And if he take the "prince charmings", the one I can barely picture is Lorenzo Zurzolo.

We don't even "know" they were a couple, that is just the general assumption based mainly on wishful thinking pulling crumbs of evidence together.

Lorenzo Zurzolo is straight (I think).

I ship him with Jon K and Omar Ayuso. The sex scenes between him and Omar were pretty hot.

Мы даже не «знаем», что они были парой, это лишь лишь общее предположение, основанное главным образом на том, чего мы хотим на самом деле, собирая воедино доказательства доказательства

In order for this to become obvious to you, would they need to show themselves as a couple in the media? For more than three years, enough “evidence” has already accumulated to understand that this is exactly what we think about)

In order for it to be obvious they would have to 1. come out as gay, 2. Say they are a couple, or at least share pics with them kissing or even holding hands. I know by LPSG norms any straight guys who are friends must be a couple, especially if they take pictures together.

Cool. I’m a big fan of straight icons Paul Lynde, Liberace, Rock Hudson, Freddie Mercury, Anthony Perkins, Monty Clift, Roddy McDowell

You can't compare being closeted gays when they were active and today

Why not lol. Hollywood is still homophobic as fuck, and a lot of actors and artists still remain in the closet because of fear for their careers. Ask Colton Haynes about it

And with "crumbs of evidence" you mean literally hundreds of easily accessible pictures of them spending their holidays together and travelling the world? Hosting diners for friends and (Manu's) family and spending quality time tête-à-tête in remote place?

Move away from vacuous rhetoric and let the facts speak, because what you want isn't proof but a confession.

Or maybe Troye

Factually speaking, this is accurate, as I also pointed out. We should always add an auxiliary verb. Or ‘think’, ‘assume’, ‘believe’

, that is just the general assumption based mainly on wishful thinking pulling crumbs of evidence together.

But this is simply not true: there is a lot of evidence. Circumstantial, but evidence. Not out of wishful thinking, but merely natural curiosity driven by inconsistencies.
I have often wondered why it piques my curiosity because generally speaking, I’m not invested in ‘celebrities’ at all but with these influencer-types, their false realities annoy me, I guess. I notice the holes in the illusion they’re trying to create.
And (not about me, more in general) since we are a social animal species and ‘mirroring’ is an important part of our interaction, people are naturally curious to learn whether others are ‘like themselves’

Oh I can do better
I saved these for a rainy day

The last one, I was dumb enough not to screencap the pic but the post is - from what I assume, based on my observations, then - the very beginning (or early days) of their relationship and shows Rafael, evidently just awake and quite undressed, in a crumpled bed with ditto hair:

For me, what clinched it - and actually aroused my curiosity, I told this before - was a picture of Manu sitting at a Christmas table with his parents, brother (I didn’t know at the time) and an empty chair next to Manu. Manu posted an endless stream of Christmas dinner pics, evidently in his home (based on previous pics and I also recognised the bathroom), with everyone at the table, but this mystery person.

I happened to find one of the others (they tagged Manu) and guess what: there was a guy who looks a *lot* like Manu (only older), same build, same height, same style, who was in the immediate vicinity of Manu most of the time…
(Incidentally, I later learned that one of the mystery ladies at the table is Rafael’s sister)

Then I looked at Manu’s trips and you start to notice that at dinner tables (beach loungers, etc), there’s always a person missing, sitting next to him. And on other people;s pics, that always turns out to be: Rafael.
They also seem to have identical items of clothing. Live in the same immediate vicinity of the same city (I’ve never had the chance to study Rafael’s decor)
Rafael was the only one who didn’t have a job to do, yet was there at the Met. And on (nearly) every trip Manu takes.
Now going on trips together is something these influencer types do - but Rafael isn’t an influencer.

Did I mention that Rafael *is* openly gay?

@Dokteki : it’s more than crumbs

I’ll tell you more, both of Rafael’s twin sisters were sitting at the same Christmas table, as well as Rafael’s mother and, it seems, his stepfather) Well, his parents and brother Manu, and a couple of his friends. Christmas with family. Nothing mysterious))

 

[SimonLou]

This is last year. And this Christmas, they were each with their parents. But they were in touch) Rafael’s older brother published a photo congratulation, very cute, where they are all visible. I don’t know, if Manu and Rafael are not a couple, then maybe he is their relative? )))

Hehe, I meant it was mysterious back then, because back then I just followed Manu for aesthetic purposes
Are you sure it was Rafael’s mum? I thought she was Manu’s. But if that is true, then there’s another ‘breadcrumb’ Because during that same evening, Manu posted a pic with that woman, cuddling, in his bathroom mirror. And I thought it was a mother-son moment. Not a mother-in-law moment

That’s just about the only alternative explanation or ‘roommates’

Rafael's relatives were sitting on the opposite side of the table from Manu's relatives, on the left in the photo) And the photo in the bathroom was with Manu's mother, you thought correctly)

The roommate who invited almost his entire family to Christmas))

When the respective parents are all at the same Christmas dinner with their respective siblings, then they have to be just roommates. Obviously.
