i only seem to like unattainable men?

Crushes on celebrities is not normal, in my opinion. Turn off the TV, lay down the magazines, and get out there.

That may may sound a little harsh, but the truth is that a lot of people have been brainwashed into worshiping celebrities. It's unhealthy.

Love will find YOU, not the other way around. Focus on making yourself a healthy, happy person.

Contrary to what TV will have you believe, most celebrities aren't the awesome, perfect people that they appear to be.

Remember that every time you have a crush on a celebrity. They are being paid to put forth that persona. They have teams of people deciding who they need to be, when and how. You don't love the celebrity, you love who they are most likely being paid to be.

Try going on dates with attainable men. You don't have to have a crush on somebody before you really know them to fall in love.

you can't always get what you want

Sounds pretty typical to me...

I thought this question was going to be about how you only like men who are married or gay or whatever, but I guess not!

If you think about it, celebrities are kind of like a concentration of the most attractive (or interesting looking) members of our population. (In general.) Even the ones you don't personally find attractive probably have near perfect skin, symmetrical features, a personal trainer, and a personal stylist. And then, they go through makeup and photoshop or editing to make themselves look that much more perfect. Plus, with actors, you're watching them delivering clever lines and a carefully constructed character that someone else has written. When someone is made to look so put-together, it's hard for the average person to measure up.

I think it's normal, but it's also a problem.

So you get all hot and heavy for looks and not personality. You're not so special. Meaning: normal

I always go for girls that turn out to have boyfriends... awkward:/

It's definitely normal to want what you can't have. But it's always heart-rending when you realise there's a social pecking order and you rank lower than those you aim for. Being told they're out of your league hurts. :(

I think for a lot of people the fact that they are unattainable is what makes them attractive, not the other way around. It's a different but related thing, but I know some gay men who have a lot of girls interested in them despite them only being medium-attractive and having pretty standard personalities, and an asexual who's had a disproportionate amount of interest too. Because they're unattainable it puts them on a sort of plateau that other people can't reach, so they seem attractive. In terms of celebrity I think it's probably more common in women then men, because it seems as if more women than men are likely to be interested in the world of celebrity and are more likely to be attracted to success, which is synonymous with celebrity.

Personally I find it a turn-off when I know the other person would never look twice at me, because they're a celebrity or because they're gay or because they're far too attractive, but then again I'm not normal :P

I always think of celebrities as two different people: the public life and the private life. The private life is what I'd call the "real life", and the public life is an act, a persona, a fraud. If you were paid a million pounds (or a million dollars) to act in a certain way, to put on a fake personality, I don't think many people would turn it down (I know I wouldn't refuse). And the worse part is that it's the fake part you're attracted to, and the very reason their public life was designed that way is to deceive you into being attracted to it. You're attracted to a product and not a person. That's what celebrity is in a nutshell.

I always get crushes on gay guys :/

"I've only had crushes on celebrities"...As if to apply they are nearly as attainable as the males that aren't in a relationship with you...

To be honest, I think a lot of females do this. I think a few have liked me for the reason aswell. (I'm extremely hard to please).
