to think grown women, anyone over the age of about 16 actually, expressing lustful thoughts for actors/celebrities or men in the public eye, are just ridiculous?

[nameymcnamechange]

How can you fancy someone you have never even met?

Surely that is the realm of tweenagers, teenagers or stalkers!

I do find it very hard to stomach when supposedly intelligent adult women go all silly over some sleb or other, whether its Jeremy Paxman or Michael Buble or Robert Pattinson or Brian Cox ... or whoever.

re: wanting Brian Cox's wife dead

FFS nutters

I think his carpentry skills really add to the appeal.

I agree about Eric from True Blood.

I don't know how to loooooove him .....

I fancy (in no particular order)
Lee Mack
Simon Rouse
Duncan Ballantyne
Robert Duvall
Jose Marinho.
I am menopausal, if that is an excuse

YABU.

You're not suggesting I do the daddy too are you?

or am I confused about biblical jobs

DMFIB - I fancy Dave Gahan more. Really Really. Better with age too - bonus. Had a lovely dream about him the other night.

And OP YABU. Totally normal as long as not too obsessive. Chill out woman!

Duncan Ballantyne??!!

Massivehead, I fancy Johnny Depp, the person, certainly not Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka or the Mad Hatter.

We can all dream, I'm sure if I met him in real life my dream would be shattered but I enjoy admiring from afar.

YABU, mine is Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Something that will really piss you off, I dreamt I was married to Robert Pattinson and I left him and re-married JRM.

Oh the joys of pregnancy dreams. Totally rediculous, best nights sleep I have had this pregnancy.

MH, you mentioned there being a difference between liking the character and the actor. Is this an ethical difference? Are you suggesting that it is actually Robert Powell you like?

I refuse to believe that people stating they are waiting for Brian Cox's wife to die are actually being even remotely serious.

There just aren't that many weird science geeks who could possibly fancy him. It's against the laws of nature, surely?

YABU, no harm is done with a bit of fantasy.

Whether that's your colleague, neighbour or "the guy out of Mistresses" ....it's healthy and harmless.

lol

I have just started a thread lusting after Olly Steed, not in the slightest ridiculous, cheers up my evening

It's the rough Scots accent, themachinist.

who is brian cox and why would someone want his wife to dies?
(m shadows got married and I was happy for him, not like he was ever going to be mine)

Previously, I may have agreed with you, though I do admit to watching Doctor Who purely so I could drool over David Tennant but I am afraid that since becoming hooked on Twilight & being rather smitten with Edward Cullen (yes, yes I know he's fictional but so was Mr Darcy & loads of women swooned over him) I'm afraid that I now have to say YABU

What?

You mean this fella doesnt do it for you?

Brian Cox is a scientist and he also used to be in a band. He is sometimes on the tv. I think he is also the official 'Sun' physicist.

He looks about 20 years younger than his actual age.

I thought you were all talking about Brian Cox the actor, who played Hannibal Lector originally .

still have no idea who he is.....

Look, I have to spend a good proportion of my time cleaning up excrement and singing Old Ruddy MacBleedingDonald.

If a wee crush on David Mitchell gets me through the day, then who are you to object?

I don't think it matters if its the character or the actor you fancy, so long as you understand that you fancy the idea of the person and don't mix that up with the genuine person who has a wife and kids. Or whatever. Anyone who takes it to the point of being nasty to/about the genuine wife/girlfriend is going well over the edge of acceptable in my opinion, and confusing the real person with the one in their head.

Ladies should only have thoughts of the trouser-area type with regards to their husbands, or towards men they have met whom they find attractive, intellectually. Admiring anyone from afar or for merely cosmetic reasons is clearly stupid, unproductive and possibly sinful.

If I ever caught my wife admiring a movie star I'd have her seen by a mental health professional or perhaps send her to confessional. Then again she told me she thought Robert De Niro was hot it Cape Fear so I had better go work out and get some prison tattoos, and stop fucking around on MN.
