Still not really sure what it is you're trying to ask. Perhaps if you could explain the context of your question, why you're asking it, it would make it easier to understand?

The most beautiful girl I have ever seen was a white-haired albino, with a beautiful face and name to match. Sadly there are no photos on the net which do justice to her individual features.

Imagine you have been asked to create a woman whom you find physically attractive. What features would you give her? If there are photos on the net to illustrate, Chronos would like to see them.

The problem I have is that it's subject to change with practically no warning. If a blonde girl was being really nice to me all of a sudden, I'd start having more of an attraction to blondes. Same with the other hair colors. If a woman likes me, i become attracted to all her attributes. And since nobody likes me at this moment or for the forseeable future, I don't think I can really provide a good example.

I get it. The celebrities are collections of symbols that represent the ideas in your heads.

I couldn't do that, but fair enough if it works for you. The problem with using a person as a symbol is that they also symbolise themselves, so that can be confusing.

How about drawing pictures of the people in your minds? That might be interesting.

How about going in a slightly different direction? Rather than the celebrity and how they look, which fictional characters that the celebrity plays are we attracted to (independent of the actor/actress who plays them). When I was much younger, I was attracted to Superman. I mistook this for an attraction to Christopher Reeve and saw him in another movie. Nothing happened. So it was Superman and not the actor who played him that was attractive. It happened again when Lord of the Rings came out and I was attracted to Aragorn. So I decided to see a different movie Viggo Mortenson (who played Aragorn) was in and was repulsed. (It was G.I. Jane where he plays a repulsive person.) What do Superman and Aragorn have in common? They are absolutely alpha males in their respective stories but mainly heroic and world saving. So that's what I like. The heroism combined with the alpha-ness. (To be consistent I guess I should have married a fireman but I didn't.)


So what fictional characters are others attracted to, independent of the actor/actress who played them?

Same for Edward Cullen, all those female teens are crazy about Edward Cullen,the strong and the most protector vampire, and not Robert Pattinson.

Tee-hee ,funny how many people on this board deny the alpha thing , how naive they are.

Sounds like a good spin off thread to me. :)

Guess that college degree in writing and literature that I'll be completing this spring doesn't mean anything. So I can read, I probably just didn't see the previous thread so I don't know the context. Whatevers. :P

She was just separating their identities I think. Personally, I think Robert Pattinson is ugly and he creeps me out but to each his/her own I guess. :P
