So there‘s been a lot of discussion about following IG models and influencers as a red flag. Personally, I view celebrities in the same boat as IG models and it gives me the ick when men talk about them so openly- even in relationships- because it will never happen so what’s the harm. I feel very uncomfortable and I know it’s super normalized but I’m wondering if others are on the same boat.

Yeah, celebrity crushes have always grossed me out too. Growing up I never understood why some people obsessed over some actor/singer they'd never met. It seemed really unhealthy. With women I feel like there's a degree of hero-worship and pickmeism for a guy who's usually a lot older. For men there's objectification and triangulation. Either way, just really gives me the ick.
Parasocial relationships have always seemed really pathetic and sad to me. This is just my opinion of course, but I look down on both men and women with this weak beta energy. 😂 Do better things with your time, life is too short.
It screams entitled and pathetic. Like hurr durr “I love blah blah” dude they do not even know you are alive
Celebrity crushes are weird and creepy and I judge both sexes for it. It's one thing to appreciate their craft and acknowledge good looks, but those couples that talk about "hall passes" or remark on how hot the actor is are creepy. But I'm glad they take each other out the dating scene. Their reasoning is always "well, it'll never happen!". What does it matter? That's even more pathetic that you lust for someone who doesn't know your existence. I am not concerned about you having a "chance" to sleep with margot Robbie, I am concerned I have chosen a pathetic orbiter who isn't truly loyal (loyalty is NOT just the bare minimum of keeping it in your pants physically). This consequentialist type of mindset is what makes the dating scene a trash fire.
I feel like a lot of men will make really gross objectifying comments and actively be disrespectful towards their SO but then say hey it’s just a celeb crush as a crutch
So true. The last time I had a celebrity crush was when I was 16. Even when I think back on that time I find it crazy. I cant imagine adults actually having crushes on celebs. Its okay to find them hot or to joke around but to genuinely crush on them...whats going on
