My married acquaintances are always swooning over some celeb dude. Doesn't mean they want something more.
I think there’s a difference.. like I can love, admire and be crazed fans of male actors.. find them attractive, hot and everything and it also includes their personality that’s attractive.. but it’s not like I imagine or dream of having “se*” with them. The thought of it is 🤢 . Especially if they are married. I’m not taking sexual gratification by staring at them most of time. I can even fan girl Taylor swift or Britney Spears (also admiring for their looks and work, minus the attraction part). It’s the connect we develop at times with celebs and how we look up to them.
I’m not sure if it’s social conditioning or men are wired that way biologically ; but most of the times when men ogle at women it’s for a different reason. Also, we don’t know in what sense he does it or is it just for fun; and what is his equation with his wife (sounds like they are super comfortable with each other and she may be dismissive about it for whatever reason.) But I think, the point someone raised here is what he should think about. What if SHE behaved the same way. How would he feel? I however do think, these stereotypes are steeped in patriarchy and how we are nurtured in the society - human beings do have a lot of autonomy on how they behave.
Also, does he do that with celebs only or does he stare or view other women around him the same way? This can get really creepy. It’s all fun and games when it’s just for humour, but in reality - not so much.
I think these are the questions only Maroony should think about and he will have an answer for himself. There’s a difference between admiring & being creepy.
