Do you find celebrities attractive?

Post Reply New Topic

Saying "celebrities" is so vague. That is like asking If one likes food or clothes. Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie are both celebrities. Johnny Depp and Danny Devito are both... but they all look and act so different from one another. So the initial question seems rather directed at people who seem drawn to celebrities in general. Like the mindless hordes that watch TMZ or the type that can't get enough of the Kardashians ...

Some celebrities, yes. Most celebrities, no. And the biggest sex symbols are more often than not repulsive to me. With some exceptions. Also, I tend to be attracted to the celebrities who seem to be more of the intelligent type. Or perhaps rather intellectual - I'm sure some of the ones I don't like are intelligent, despite appearing as complete idiots. And looks do matter, there just has to be a bit of both.

I also have a tendency to be more easily (but not exclusively) attracted to non-Western celebrities (and women in general). That could be somewhat due to beauty ideals, looks in general, or perhaps i'm just a xenophile (in lack of a better word). I despise my country's culture, which probably impacts my preferences in women too.

Given body dissatisfaction is prevalent in 75% of young white middle class women and is directly linked with dissatisfaction with how they look in comparison to media personalities then it's obvious that at least 75% of young women find celebrities more attractive than themselves.

Sad really.

Or maybe you just have your own unique taste in the type of person you find attractive, and don't need the mass-media telling you who you should be attracted to.

This is a really important point, I think. "Trying to look sexy" does not equal "sexy". Anyone can try to look sexy. Sexy people don't need to try.

I find a person attractive if and only if I like his or her personality. Thus, I don't find any celebrities attractive unless I know something attractive about what they are like. On that basis I confess to the odd crush here and there, but probably not on the celebrities most people would consider "hot."

Well, I think a lot of girls are attracted to celebrities because they are celebrities - that is, they are rich. It's quite natural really, even though it's somewhat disturbing to see 13 year old girls being attracted to guys who are older than me (I'm nearly 18...). :p

Guys don't operate that way, going instead for fertility, so I suspect the heavy amount of beauty treatment afforded by female celebrities may come into play. Though I really don't see what a lot of them see in certain ones such as Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, and others... generally I find most celebrities average when it comes to attractiveness, along with most girls I see. I need to get to know them first (well, not always; there was that one French exchange student in my Maths class...).

I think that the main reason people have crushes on celebrities is that they're a safe way to deal with crushes, because you know there is pretty much no hope that you'll actually be able to have a relationship with them. Whereas if you have them on one of your friends, then you have to deal with awkwardness, and if you know your "crush", you end up with false hope. Celebrities serve as a safe repository of our desires in many ways. They're a human sacrifice, required to ensure current society runs smoothly. Like all human sacrifice, though, they end up causing more problems...

If that's true, it's definitely an NT trait. Aspies have to deal with awkwardness anyway so we might as well have realistic expectations. As for me personally, I feel completely indifferent towards hot celebrities. I recognize their good looks, I guess, but almost in a platonic neutral observer kind of way. I like women and all, it just seems pointless to me to focus on physical attraction with someone who I can never be with. The only exception to this is during my special "Guy Time" and even then they're all replaceable.

Yes, that's very true. I usually don't go for the popular guys. I don't find most celebrities attractive but there are a few I do have crushes on. I'm glad I'm not with that boyfriend anymore, he was extremely arrogant and full of himself.

I said "no opinion" because the very popular celebrities in their early 20's that most people my age like, I don't find attractive. However, I find some of the less well-known celebrities attractive, but not the ones most people think of they hear the word "celebrity". Also, I tend have no opinion on female celebrities, just male celebrities.

No not really as they come across as fake i would rather stick to a natural girl with natural tits and a fine booty to finish things off.

Most people that would be described as "hot" I don't find attractive.
I'm much more attracted to people who would be described as "cute"

I find some of them attractive. There are some celebrities that are genuinely good-looking, but then there are plenty who just go to extremes (with make-up, clothes, surgery, etc.) to appear good-looking and I dislike those. I presume the question means physical, sexual attraction (as in "he/she is hot") rather than a more emotional attraction.

Lucky you! You should never have a shortage of potential partners!

Yes, but it doesn't mean they always like me back.

Only celebrities I feel attracted to at all are Emma Stone and Elle Fanning. I can't stand typical sexy women like Angelina Jolie, can't stand her huge lips and face. I like cuter, smaller lips, fair skin, small cute nose and stuff.

Its purely an aesthetic thing because I cannot relate to any celebrity on an emotional/mental level.

Of course, there are no guarantees, but I was implying that because there are so many men who fit that profile and so few women who are attracted to them you'd have a large pool of men to choose from and very little competition. That's the theory anyway. In practice? Don't know, maybe you can tell us.
