Why are girls more prone to have celebrity crushes?
I am not saying only girls have them, I know one guy in my class was absolutely in love with Jennifer Lawrence, but girls certainly seem far more easily attached and obsessed with their favourite celebrities than boys. Just look at 'directioners', 'beliebers', 'cumberbitches' and all of the other fanbases which are predominantly female, and even some of the posters on here who border on stalkerish.
My question is this: is there some personality trait more common among girls that means they become more easily and more strongly attached to objects or people, and if yes, what is it?
As a bonus, here is a hilarious youtube video:

If there were an army of men on the internet who were obsessed with a female celebrity and wrote elaborate fan fiction about having sex & followed them everywhere they went they would get in big trouble.
No evidence to back it up, but perhaps girls focus more on personality than simply looks, and because of that personality cults emerge more readily which is an essential component of crazy fan mentality.
Girls are more attracted to status itself than guys are.
Girls get stronger feelings or more attached than guys do? 
are you referring to me op?
in my experience girls have this curious desire to be authority figures and men with a lot of status.

Probably not but you would fall into the category as a "fan girl"

For sure, you never see a guy crying and eating ice cream on the sofa while watching a Romcom because his girlfriend dumped him.

As for Benedict Cumberbatch many women fawn over his persona "Sherlock Holmes" also status is another thing which attract women for example fame and money.

Interesting because the term that keeps cropping up is 'status'. Do you all think this is socially instilled, and that girls are brought up on Disney fairy tale princes and aim for the top, or is it a biological desire for finding the best option, or something else entirely?

You got very angry at me the other day for coming onto your thread and trying to argue, please don't do the same.

i dont care to be placed in a "category". it's not people on the internet who define who i am.
