Why are people women especially so obsessed with celebrities and thier lifes?

[massb]

Pretty self explanatory, why are people so caught with what celebrities are doing and need to know what they are doing. I just find that crazy. Like live your own life who cares what these other people are doing.

[wiltingrosepetal]

I'm not part of that crowd, but I know why they do it. It's like watching a sitcom and every magazine cover, tweet or tiktok, is another chapter. I'd compare the female urge to idolise celebrities with Gossip Girl. Rich pretty people performing scandals as they hook up. It's a decrepit world of wealth, greed and lust that the average person can only admire from afar. We like to watch it because it allows us a window into how the upper-class live. And it's pretty damn cool.

Hence why people still won't shut up about Brad Pitt's celebrity drama, how Taylor Swift handles her extremely public beefs, The Rock and Kevin Hart's hilarious dynamic, or the way Keanu Reeves acts like one of us, despite being so... so wealthy.

Well, there's that reason. And the fact that some celebrities are too entertaining to look away from. Doja Cat dressing as a spawn of the devil? Kanye West supporting Hitler? Tom Holland spoiling every movie he's in? Paris Hilton? Ricky Gervais? Gordon Ramsay? Dylan Mulvaney? Andrew Tate? Donald Trump? How do you look away from them when they're so loud? The fact they exist is just free entertainment

[massb]

I agree you do have a point and people can live thier life how they want. It's fine to indulge sometimes. But I mean when they obsess and cry over celebrities it's kind of wild. Or say for instance if they have a boyfriend , that they would love to sleep with a celebrity because he's nice and good looking. But how do you know how they are you don't know them

[TheRealPepperPotts]

I have a general awareness of different celebrities, but I don't follow their lives. For example, I've heard of the Kardashians and I think they have/had a show? But I'd never watch it, because I just see a pic of them and think "drama". Plus, there are way more interesting things to watch than non-reality TV...

I think for many women, it's a form of escapism, like video games can be for guys. As another user said, women are more social, so perhaps it's a more relational form of escapism.

[massb]

That's fine , it's just crazy when these women cry over celebrities. Like why are you crying? I guess some women have no lives and just want to live in that world I guess

[D_Bone_Steak]

That gender tends to be collectivists a bit more often than they turn out as individualists. Sure some are not, but some dudes will carry on parasocial relationships as well. There is no doubt a general gender difference in the results of who ends up doing it.

Traits they tend to have... pussies, have no real hobbies or a life of their own, are usually the same people that will share the exact opinion given to them by talking heads on a screen or repeat shit they're told to think. They come back from college with opinions rather than any real skill. Bottom line, they're the same people that make the NPC memes in the political world.

Basically, these people don't have a life or mind of their own. Of course, they're obsessed with someone they'll probably never meet on the television/phone screen.

NPC = Non Playable Character

[massb]

Yea that's sad smh. It's fucked that like 75%-80% of women are like that. Saying they would sleep with a male celebrity if they had a chance. They are just people with some talent big whoop I don't know what's wrong with some women. Then they say that the celebrities are so nice, like you don't even know them

[HawkPerception]

They're sheep. They look at celebrities and wish they had their money, fame, and lives. Usually the people that follow celebrities are materialistic. The girls tend to be gold diggers, etc. If someone can't think for themselves, they'll likely be in this cstegory.

[massb]

Yea very true great observation.

[massb]

Maybe that's why some women are sad because they focus on things that don't matter and try to live up to something they can't reach.

[Finchie40]

Because they fantasize about having that lifestyle and wish they had that lifestyle , they aren’t content and satisfied with their own lives , so they usually compare it. Thinking that’s how their life should be

[massb]

Yea makes sense. That's sad smh

[jennifer_bloom]

Some people worship people rather than viewing them as equals and they fixate on the ideal that can never argue or yell or display any type of flaw.

[massb]

Exactly smh they are just people with some talent that's it. It's crazy when I see women crying over Celebrities

[RingOfFire]

I think it's true in general that women seem more interested in celebrity than men. It may be because women in general are more sociable than men. I think as a generality, women are social and men are competitive.

[massb]

Yes though that may be true. I've seen public interviews where women were asked if you had a hall pass from your boyfriend would you sleep with a celebrity and all women said yes but most men said no

[RingOfFire]

There you go.

[exitseven]

People lead such boring lives today and have to live vicariously through others. It's ort of sad.

[massb]

Yea that's crazy smh 🤦 I think it's because people can't find hobbies or things they love to do so they watch other people live smh

[soe11]

• Because they are ideal for them.
• I don't think something wrong.
• Celebrates go commando my girlfriend go commando too.
• They go braless my girlfriend go braless too.
• They go with Teeny Tiny micro so my girlfriend go too.

[massb]

What lol?

[Fireguy17]

I have no clue.
They all poop just like we do, so they are no different than the rest of us.

[massb]

Thank you , maybe it's just the money and the fame /status

[Fireguy17]

sure, but it is a double edge sword, be careful what you wish for.
They cannot function like we do.
You can't go to public places, out to eat, all the things we take for granted, but they can't.
Sure they have money, fame etc, but are basically prisoners inside their homes.
How much do you think it is worth to be able to go out for dinner, see a movie, just go out for a walk without being mobbed.
Then they complain they do not have any privacy while they have a couple 2, 3 publicists on staff alerting everyone where they will be so they can stay relevant.
No thanks.
I'm happy being me.

[massb]

Exactly but they don't think that far

[Fireguy17]

you are correct!

[Babygirl_S]

Why do you care that people care about celebrities? Like live your own life.

[sheikalana]

LOL.

[massb]

Lmfao touche , but idc I'm just wondering. When I see people crying over celebrities it's just crazy to me

[Anonymous]

Because most women live in an illusionary world of make believe. Where status is basically everything.

[massb]

Yea I guess so but they are just like us, just normal people with a talent.

[MisterWack]

Jealous and want to live their life OR super fans who want to consume any & all media of their idol.

[massb]

Yea that makes sense and that's fucked. Why not live your own life

[MisterWack]

@massb Well they do, but that is for entertainment. It isn’t truly jealousy 24/7, it is the appeal of this ‘alien’ lifestyle. I don't know how better to describe the feeling, but I can empathize. Magazines / reality TV / documentaries are all forms of entertainment and mostly follow the celebrities for entertainment during off times of the day to unwind maybe. Makes them feel good.

[massb]

I guess so , I don't get it but I understand why someone might want to watch it. Like how MTV cribs was big back. in thr day

[strateguy632]

because it is more glamourous and exciting then anybody's boring drudge life.

[massb]

Yea possibly, but why not just go out and find hobbies that they love or just live thier own life

[KrakenAttackin]

Women have always been obsessed with pop culture. This same obsession drive women to write and fall in love with murderers in prison or bad boy celebrities.

[massb]

Yea makes sense smh

[Snakeyes7]

I suppose it depends on you definition of obsessed. I would imagine it would cross the line if someone deems someone else as evil if they don't find any interest in a certain celebrity.

[massb]

I guess so

[At3mis24]

Not all women! I'm not interested by gossips neither.

[handsomelad70]

I've been a sports fan for almost 66 years. Does that count?

[massb]

Not really , do you cry when you see athletes in person?

[handsomelad70]

Nah, unless they've got big boobs !!!

[RedInnocent69]

People women? 😂

[massb]

I didn't want to make it sexist lol so I said people. Yes it's mostly women

[DrPepper12]

Just a mindless interest like any other.

[massb]

Yea basically smh and some of these women cry over them which is insane

[Goodoldguy]

I don't get it

[massb]

Me neither or are you saying you don't understand the question
