For instance, people are constantly reminded of how handsome Mr. X is or how beautiful Ms. Y is. So wouldn't people - inadvertently, of course - form the image of an ideal man/woman and also expect their partners to fit into that image? In other words, chasing illusions ... that's the result. Also this comparison could lead to jealousy, hurts and scars, etc. That also is destructive.
So at least indirectly, doesn't this type of culture cause problems in relationships?
If one would stay in the real world and live their own lives and not become star struck the world of celebrities would have no affect on them at all.
I could care less what any celebrity does but I don't watch television and have seen very few movies even though I have met and spent time with a few celebrities, they are regular humans just like everyone else.
As much as its tempting to blame them, I honestly think not. In fact I think people are less into celebrity culture in a lot of ways, and most reasonable people realize that what they see there isn't the real world.
I think that point is almost genius and hasn't gotten fair credit.
The media helps condition unattractive men to think they can get attractive women. It also probably makes women think that, if they doll themselves up enough, they can get top-tier men. (100 years ago, before TV, most women didn't wear much makeup, and I don't think that's a coincidence.) On top of that, the media encourages women to demand physical attraction, which wasn't as much of a requirement by women several decades ago.
