She likes Brad Pitt. From following his news stories to looking at his pictures. To thinking about him.
She’s engaged to a goodlooking guy. Girls stare at him sometimes, and some even try to flirt with him. She gets angry that these girls stare and possibly desire to be with him, when he already has someone.
She is disgusted when she hears of women in the community desiring married men/taken men, or flirting with those men.
Are these double standards or no? One is based in reality, the other on fantasy. Your thoughts?
I think they should chop off his head and feed it to the wolves... so she can ful fill her fantasy looking at Brad Pitt;s pic with a battery powered toy.

Ummmmm no because her focus is on a celebrity, someone who is never going to be a part of her life. He is just a fantasy. She's not thinking about any other guy who is possibly attainable. It would be only a double standard if she got mad at him for lusting after a celebrity. Celebrity fantasies are just fantasies, they're never goign to come true.....a healthy amount is alright/not detrimental to the relationship.
She doesnt like other girls to look at her guy, desire him etc, while she looks at this other guy and desires him. That much said, the double standard is evident. The fact that the other guy is a celebrity and is unatainable is only a rationalizing arguement one might use to justify what one does while still disliking what the other does. Its the same as saying the other girls that desire her guy are also only looking at the guy in an unattainable way because he is engaged. Hope this made sense :P
it's not a double standard, ALL guys look at other girls, married or not, doesn't mean they wanna be with them (if happily married/with some1), just admiring their physical beauty/form, when i say there's no double standard, what i mean is there's a difference between looking from a distance & approaching some1 to compliment or flirt with knowing that they're already with some1. Everybody who's with some1 hot knows that other people are going to admire them just as you did when you first saw her/him, you just don't want them going any further than looking. And as far as fantasising about a celebrity in a magazine, thats as far as 'looking from a distance' gets...... silly topic to discuss.

That makes sense, and I see your point..but at hte same time, its alot easier to get wiht a married/taken man than it is to get with a celebrity. If her guy minds that she looks at Brad Pitt, she should stop...
