I singled out this bit right here, Madhu, for the part I bolded. Fantasy is so different from reality, and what makes a man attractive on a movie screen, or for one night, is not what makes him attractive in the long run. When the women you describe swoon over the characters this actor plays, they're not thinking to what he'll be like in the morning. Fantasies are stories - what happens when they're over is unimportant to the imagination. Certain situations can be very pleasing to imagine, but that doesn't always mean you want that to occur in reality.
