Whilst in a relationship, why is it appropriate to comment on how hot a celebrity is?

Because celebrities are not real.

That said, I always express how hot I think someone is, regardless if they are "celebs"

Because a celebrity doesn't actually pose a 'threat'. There is absolutely no chance of anything happening between the person and the celebrity.

Because there's no chance that that person will end up together with a celeb, it's called living in reality.

So does that mean that a person in the street who is hot could actually be enough for the person to leave their partner?!

Er no, if you actually love the person you are with why would you leave him for someone who is better looking, he might be better looking but he could be a right *******.

I dunno apparently i am not allowed to comment on the looks of any guy but it is perfectly ok for my boyfriend to comment positively or negatively on any of my friends. Talk about double standards, i don't really mind, i don't really pay that much attention to others guys, unless they are my mates.

Everyone else has pretty much summed it up Celebrities by most peoples standards are deemed as out of reach to us meer mortals- whereas other 'normal' people are not.

Whilst in a relationship, why is it appropriate to comment on how hot a celebrity is, but not on how hot a real life person is?

It is?

I don't do either :mute:

I don't get offended when my bf says he thinks Scarlet Johannson or whoever is pretty or "he would" because I know that it obviously is never going to happen. He knows I fancy the pants of Johnny Depp but it's like a total illusion, not reality. However if he was walking down the street and said "Corr she's hot" of course I'd be angry!!! There is a big difference, it's just whether the partner takes it to heart and started comparing themselves to that celeb.

Because celebs don't pose as a threat to the relationship and even if someone found them attactive nothing could ever happen between them anyway.

No. well I wouldn't do that.
If you're in a stable relationship with your boyfriend he'd be a bit of a jerk to leave you for someone hotter, who may also be a jerk.

If you're so insecure about meaningless comments regarding pie in the sky celebrities, whats the point of being together?

People like that are obviously possessive with an inferiority complex .. thats more important to sort out than a girlfriend fanatasising.

Judging by her previous threads, it seems she is more likely to leave him, as in the past she has commented on how he isn't good looking and feels almost embarrassed to be with him.

I think you can comment on celebrities, other people etc.

But I dont think its appropriate to do what my boyfriend did the other day - comment on how hot his own brother's new girlfriend is. GRRRRR. If she was a stranger i wouldnt be so bothered, but that was just a bit insulting because i have to spend time with her. lol

I'm not getting this. It's like you're saying that it's acceptable to lust over a celebrity purely because they're "out of reach," but that lusting over a normal person is something you keep private. Doesn't it bother you to think that your bf/gf would probably cheat on you with Celebrity Such and Such IF he or she had the chance?

Finding someone good-looking/pretty/hot/handsome/whatever does not necessarily mean that your partner wants to cheat on you, or would like to dump you for them if he could!

I find Viggo Mortensen fit - I'd never break up with my bf for him though. Likewise my bf finds Courtney Cox pretty, and we both agree that we both find Rosamund Pike beautiful. It's perfectly natural to find someone who's pretty, pretty - you cannot help but find someone attractive physically if he/she is attractive to you. It's what you do about that that matters.

So when you partner tells you whether that celeb or normal person is pretty, that doesn't mean he wants to cheat on you or that he'll dump you for her if he could. In fact, my bf's commented on how some of my friends are pretty - I don't mind that cus yes, they are pretty. What matters is that my bf doesn't fancy them lol, and that he still finds me the hottest stunner of them all :biggrin:

I actually don't mind it if the comment was on a regular person or a celeb as long as he doesn't go on about it. If he keeps going on about it, now then I would mind.
