What His Celeb Crush Says About Him

Throughout their lives, men have all kinds of crushes. When they're growing up, they may have crushes on their teachers. When they're all grown up, crushes can come in the form of co-workers, neighbors, coffee pourers, spinning instructors, you name it.

The thing about most crushes, though, is that they tend to fade faster than Fantasia's career. Easy come, easy go. One kind of crush that sticks with a guy: the celebrity crush.

About four in five men say they fantasize about other women, with a good many of them saying that famous women are the stars of the show. Though the characters may change from time to time, guys often choose their celebrity crushes based on some deeper longing for what they want in women.

Early on, the overriding factor may have been the prevalence of skin (Bo, Farrah, Pamela, and SI swimsuit models being excellent examples). But as men grow up, it's more than just physical attraction to the kind of woman he features in his cerebral movie theater - it's the total package that includes not only her looks, but what her looks, lifestyle, and personality may also represent.


If he fantasizes about...Angelina Jolie
It may mean... He's attracted to a do-gooder woman who also isn't afraid to show a bit of a wild streak. It's the reason why Jolie tops so many men's wish lists: They want the woman who is good, but not too good. And the woman who is sultry, but not too sultry.

If he fantasizes about...Jennifer Aniston
It may mean... Attracted to Aniston's innocent persona, he likes the girl next door and yearns to be the household protector. Though traditional gender roles have certainly changed and evolved over the last several decades, many men still enjoy playing the role of the prince who rescues the damsel in distress.

If he fantasizes about...The young, troubled beauties (Paris, Lindsay, Britney)
It may mean... He's attracted to risk-takers-and women who don't care what other women may think about them. That, and perhaps the boy has got more loose screws than a hardware store.

If he fantasizes about...Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson
It may mean... That he has darn good taste. Physically, they represent classic feminine beauty-their curves, their skin, their heart-stopping faces. That may mean he has very high standards-and seeks relationship perfection.

If he fantasizes about...Julianne Moore, Michelle Pfeiffer
It may mean...He appreciates that experience, knowledge, and just the right amount of sass and humor goes a long way to making for strong relationships. Mrs. Robinson jokes aside, he appreciates maturity-and all the good things that come with it.

If he fantasizes about...Pam Anderson
It may mean... Do I really have to say it?

If he fantasizes about...Beyonce, J. Lo, Fergie, Janet
It may mean... That he's not only into curves and lovely lady humps, but that he's also into women who have some relationship rhythm. He wants a woman who's able to let loose, show her moves, and someone who's confident being on center stage-sexually and socially.

If he fantasizes about...Any character from Grey's Anatomy
It may mean... That he's a sensitive dude. Not because he's got a thing for Meredith, Izzie, or the rest of the crew, but because-instead of being at a bar or a ball game-he's obviously sitting next to you on Thursday nights.

Bottom line on all this: Fantasy crushes are kind of like practice for the big game, allowing someone to keep one's emotions and instincts in check while imagining the big event with a partner. So encourage the crushes, and keep him primed for the real thing. And speaking of such things, I'd love to hear who your biggest crush objects are (and why). Share them here.

I'll take me some Scarlett, thank you very much.

[carphalen5150]

I like Bea Arthur...

[Hoov]

what if he fantasizes about all of them.......................................togethe r at the same time.

Seriously though, for me the more risque, the better. Timid and shy is a turn off.

BTW, just met this girl working at another clinic today, wearing a partially see through one peice dress and when the light hit her back just right you could tell she was going comando. Then she proceeded to tell me how she won a wet t shirt contest at this bar recently, and at a party lost a bet on an eagles game last year (she bet the clothes she was wearing).

Of course i invited her out for drinks, and im already thinking of a fun bet for the next eagles - cowboys game.

[Yeagermeister]

My location says it all :D

Weren't you in trouble not long ago with a female co-worker? :p:

I guess "once bitten, twice shy" don't mean much to you! :lmao2:


FWIW, I'll take Jessica Alba, which I figure puts me in the Scarlett/Halle category.

[peplaw06]

[BrAinPaiNt]

No Alba or Biel (sp?)

I am in the Halle category. Grrrrrrr :laugh2:

Yes, i was in a sticky situation. :D But thanks to my diplomatic skills everything turned out ok, just a little awkward.

Actually turns out she went on to make enemies of most everyone here and then asked for a transfer, and it is not working out much better at her new location from what i have heard.

But.....

This girl does not work at the same location as me, nor is her clinic in philly, it is in main line suburbs. She just started today and I was only there helping out. I will not be working there anymore. So we do not have the same facility administer or even the same regional director.

[HoleInTheRoof]

Stupid article. The guy who wrote it probably has some sugar in his tank.

I want to jump Angelena Jolie because she's smokin' hott. Same with Anniston, and many more on that list. I couldn't care less about what those women do in their off time. I only care what they do in my fantasies. :D

Fluff article. Really.

[BrAinPaiNt]

Oh and they left off the girl that makes me growl just looking at her eyes...

Eliza Dushku.

To borrow a line from a Sinatra song...

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap.

[needforspeed]

Who gives a rat's @#* about "celebrities". I don't know about you, but I get plenty of real, live loving at home from a woman who loves me and cares about me. Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby. Fantasy is highly overrated.

Wow, so now you're judging me?:rolleyes: Yeah, that grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, isn't it? Thanks, but I choose to be happy with what I've got. I'll leave the pretending to lawyers, actors, and small children. I'm sorry that your life is so miserable, but you don't have to blow out my candle to make yours burn brighter.

Scarlet is the only one on that list I would be interested in. Why no models, or sports stars, etc? Very incomplete.

Lot of names I like that were not on that list.

[DallasEast]

The only women I have ever fantasized about from the article are Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry (her role as Catwoman was lame, but she wore the hell out of her outfit), Scarlett Johansson, Pam Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson (Exposed breast? What breast? :rolleyes:) and Izzie (whatever her real name is). I've never fantasized about Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Pfeiffer (she was a great Catwoman, but her outfit was so-so), Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears (oh god no), Julianne Moore, Beyonce, or Meredith (whatever HER real name is either). I wonder what all this really means? :p:

Men fantasize about her in spite of her do good nature, not because of it. you think Brad Pitt would have been hitting that had he known they were about to start jetting off around the world adopting babies?

Men like her because she's hot, and she looks like about the filthiest thing this side of Jenna Jameson...

You're not ambidextrous?

[DallasEast]

That's all? :p::D......

[DallasEast]

You're not ambidextrous?I would say yes, but you might ask me a question about Britney (oh God no) Spears and I don't know how I would answer it. :p:

[Passepartout]

Boys go and figure them out!:lmao:

[notherbob]

:o: Drat! I don't watch TV or go to movies so I don't know who any of these women are except I did see Janet Jackson's boob on the Superbowl, but she doesn't appeal to me. I generally tend to fantasize about real people I know rather than movie stars and such since I have known many beautiful women in my life and most of them were so stuck up, selfish and and hung up on themselves that they rapidly turned me off. I generally prefer women with beautiful perdonalities rather than just looks, after all, it's the personality you have to live with when the looks disintegrate.

These days I would rather have an ugly chick with a beautiful personality than a beautiful chick with an ugly personality. There's more to life than pretty *****es and substance is more important to me than physical beauty.

And, I like a chick with brains so you can have an interesting conversation as I get tired of talking about nothing but her all the time.

Fantasy sex is always great no matter what form it takes because you always satisfy your lady and she is always taken with you and there are no awkward smells or sounds or other distractions and you can just go on tirelessly forever. Fantasy Life is good.
:D :p: :) ;) :cool: :o:

[Doomsday]

Angelina Jolie maybe good natured but she also has some freak in her. As evidenced by her marriage to Billy Bob.

[TheEnigma]

Sumpin aint right with that fifth fella.

They're liars ;)

[Achozen]

I'll take me some Scarlett, thank you very much.
Ditto. IMO, the most attractive actress in Hollywood.

I'll take Michelle Pfeiffer back in her "The Hollywood Knights" days for my fantasy and......................damn, I forgot what else I was going to say.
