>But I hardly ever hear women talk that way unless they’re talking about Brad Pitt or George Clooney. I don’t often hear women say they’d be prepared to throw caution to the wind for a fifty-something father of three… It feels socially unacceptable to be so attracted to a real man. Sigh.
>Brad Pitt is a "married" father of 3. He's fortysomething. But he's distant and somehow unreal. It's always scarier to feel real feelings for a real human. Just like it's scarier to announce a realistic goal (get a college degree) than it is to announce an unrealistic degree (get an MDPhD from Harvard). At least you know that your "crush" chip is not permanently damaged. AND you know that the next time such a crush happens you CAN keep it in the realm of fantasy, rather than allow the crush to make your life overly complicated...
