Here's Why Some Women Apparently Find The Grinch To Be "So Freaking F*ckable" And Fantasize About Being With Him
The Grinch has always been known as a grumpy green monster who does his very best to ruin Christmas, but there's a growing number of women online who can't help but fantasize about him in a sexual way.
When you think about some of the classic Christmas movies or stories, the Grinch and his attempt to ruin our favorite winter holiday always comes to mind. The Grinch as he is known today first debuted in 1957 when Dr. Seuss published a story with Random House called How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The character was brought to life by animator Chuck Jones and ever since, he's been an important part of the holiday season, especially for kids. However, there are plenty of women who can't help but see a different side of the Grinch—a sexual side, to be exact.
Here's Why Women Apparently Find the Grinch to Be "So Freaking F*ckable" and Fantasize about Being with Him
These are the lyrics to "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch:"
"You're a mean one
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana
Mr. Grinch, with the greasy black peel"
That doesn't exactly sound like a love song, or even a song about a guy you'd want to hook up with. But there are plenty of women who disagree with that sentiment, as they find the Grinch to be wildly attractive. A Cosmopolitan article from December 2021 by comedian Meggie Gates outlines exactly why the Grinch has become a sex symbol. Gates describes him as "a sex icon I absolutely wanted to f*ck." Granted, the article may have been written partly in humor, but something tells us there are plenty of women who say with a straight face that they also fantasize about the Grinch.
Gates describes some of the Grinch's most attractive qualities: he's 6'6 tall with a large build; he has long, nimble fingers that are good for "back scratches, hair twirling, and serving our more primal sexual needs;" he has a bad boy demeanor that is secretly rooted in a gentle yet broken heart.
"Sure, he’s a bad boy, but he’s an attainable bad boy. The kind who would fuck you in the car right before meeting your mom and dad," Gates writes.
She says his messy house, temperamental mood, and short fuse remind him of "a jaded sad boy with a tragic backstory" who deep down wants to change. Not to mention his "huge alpha vibes" that makes him extremely attractive to some women (likely the very same women who love to complain about toxic masculinity and anything related to the alpha male, but I digress).
But of course, the Grinch's politics come into play as well. The Whos of Whoville are "plagued by the limitations of capitalism" and "buy into traditionally consumerist expectations of what Christmas is meant to be," so the Grinch is a socialist hero who decides to teach a lesson to those greedy free market lovers and steal all the Christmas gifts in order to better achieve something resembling equity.
"I’ll leave you with one final thought: If his heart grew three sizes that day, just imagine what his d*ck can do. If you never found the Grinch attractive before now, good luck watching it with Mom and Pops this holiday season," Gates concludes.
Cosmopolitan shared a graphic on their Instagram page sharing a link to the article, and the comments are mostly a reflection of confusion, not agreement.
"*rubs eyes* What exactly am I reading here?" someone commented.
"We are not doing well as a society," another person said.
"My brother/sister in Christ, blink twice if you’re being held hostage and you’re being forced to write these kinds of articles," another commented.
"Umm, yall ok? Yall alright?" someone wrote.
There are also many comments reminding Cosmopolitan that the Grinch is a classic children's story, and it's a little weird that he is being turned into a sex symbol.
