How would you react if your partner told you you can't watch certain things due because they know you think someone in it is good looking?
I know someone who is in this kind of relationship.He can't wait certain music vids and certain films cos his girlfriend knows he likes the look of them and she always goes on about other girls when they are out like questioning him if liked them or not.Obviously he says no.So I just wondered if this is a common thing as I find it strange that this goes on as could never imagine myself being like that.

if someone told me i couldnt watch t4 because steve jones was on it id laugh at them and tell them to stop being so insecure and get over it.
however my other half was constantly traveling the world to go to conventions or shouting their name out in bed or something i mite possibly get a tad upset
I'd die for a lot of rock stars (not actually) and my boyfriend knows I find them hott, but doesn't mind. He's really into Girls Aloud. And although I'm insanely jealous that he finds them so hot (I have problems with self-esteem) I know that it's not gonna happen. Besides, he's not -that- shallow.
Yeah he did that too, he was like, thrusting his pelvis. :impissed:
So I went in a huff, and he made it up to me by turning it over to the Lacoste aftershave advert with the nake man. Yum.
I love Colin Firth in P&P, but I tell him its only because he looks like him. (brown eyes+curly looks+brooding wee face=hot)
Maybe it's coz I'm a woman of science and understand humans are going to window shop from time to time. I would only get offended if he started going to tart-face's concerts just to perv.
This thread has got me grumpy now. :impissed:
meh, im probably not explaining myself very well. Doesnt apply to me anyway so i'll shut up
Tell him to take at look at them during the Pop Idol, or whatever it was, auditions, and he will realise they are actually not all they appear! Stylists, make-up artists and money do wonders for your average person!
(Do I sound bitter!)
If he ever told me [in earnest] that I couldn't watch something because I fancied one of the people involved then I'd tell him to go and fuck himself. That's just daft.
Not really, cause your ogling over celebs is pretty much always done through the medium of TV/magazines. In real life it's a two way thing. If he smiled at a pretty girl, or otherwise made it obvious that he liked her, then I could understand you getting upset, since there's a chance that she would smile back at him, and it would be somewhat disrespectful for him to have this sort of interaction with another girl when he's seeing you. It's not that he doesn't stand a chance, so it doesn't matter (after all, that excuse wouldn't fly if he met said celebrity in a bar and tried to chat her up), it's that she's not actually in the room, she's actually a collection of pixels on a screen. I can kind of understand how it may make people feel inadequate or unattractive, but not actually threatened in te same way as if he was spending time with an attractive girl.
I caqn see where you are coming from though Blah.I have had a long discussin about this with my fiance.I don't mind him saying someone is good looking or whatever.That's fine.
But when we spoke about having celeb pics on the walls I would mind because celebs are normal people at the end of the day and if he had a pic of a girl off the street it would mean the same thing whereas I wouldnt go as far as not ltting them look at them.
Another thing I heard that was ludicrous was that his girlfriend evern goes as far as looking on the net and trying to find horrible pics of the celeb girl to try and put him off her.
There's just no way I could put up with that.
i was referring to the way his girlfriend reacts to the situation more. sorry if i wasn't clear enough
had a thing for Kiefer Sutherland for a very long time now, but my boyf doesn't mind because 24 is now the only actiony type thing that I will watch and not moan about.
I just don't get why it happens and how you can be so insecure.and in a way its self obsessed just wanting them to think you are the most gorgeous thing really.
Really? My girlfriend has celeb pictures on her walls (of people she has openly admitted to thinking are "gorgeous") but I know she would get the right hump if I said anything about other girls (non-celebs) being attractive, let alone have pictures of them!
I'm not suggesting for a second that that kind of behaviour should be pandered to. Someone that insecure and jealous needs some help.
however, I think if the tables were turned she'd probably just get insecure & sulky if I told that I found a movie star attractive, it's just not worth it
I think its very sad though, the original point of this thread. I did not watch Troy for the storyline. I didn't sit and watch phonebooth because watching a man for 2 hours in something that hardly exists anymore is actually amusing. And I'm sure we both saw Mr and Mrs Smith for the sex appeal. I could care less if he watches Shakira videos. Maybe he watches football for the cheerleaders and I do it for the tight pants. But its alright. Let him fantisize. Let me want. Because at the end of the day, neither of us are ever, ever going to even come close to getting the oppertunity to fucking one of them. Never.
Sounds like my girlfriend. I dare not say I actually find famous people attractive. Yet she says it all the time and I just deal with it, and if I didn't put up with it there would be hell to pay.
I hate these double standards! :impissed:
Welcome to my world. *sigh*
