Participant[quote=davelj][quote=Russell]Sorry to the football fans, but aren’t a large percentage of the 60,000 or so men who go to football games every week groupies of a sort? How about a boy or a man wearing an extremely popular players shirt and number? What is up with that? Does anyone ever wear a bench warmer’s number?Tiger doesn’t command a mulit-billion dollar brand because of women, it is because of men.[/quote]
Let’s get back to the definition of groupie (via wikipedia): A groupie “is a person who seeks sexual and/or emotional intimacy with a celebrity or other authority figure.”
In my post above, I should have distinguished between SEX-focused groupies and just run-of-the-mill groupies. That was lazy on my part. I’ll agree with you that if you remove the sexual element, plenty of guys act like groupies with respect to their favorite athletes/teams. Which I find more than a little bizarre. But, I digress.
However… you’re not going to find too many guys who will offer themselves sexually to female celebrities just because they’re celebrities. It’s not that they don’t exist, but their numbers are de minimis in comparison to the number of females who will do the same for male celebrities. Thus, the SEX groupie is overwhelmingly a female phenomenon.[/quote]
——————-A good explanation for this is involves my theory regarding how men and women are valued differently. As mentioned before, I believe a woman’s most valuable assets are her youth and beauty (and fertility), while a man’s most valuable assets are money and social status. This is why I believe a woman’s contribution to a marriage is front-loaded, while a man’s contribution is usually back-loaded (as he makes more money over time, in most cases).
Women chase after these men because they are wealthy and/or because they are famous (social status). Men chase after women because they are young/beautiful. The female “groupies” are more visible because our society focuses on celebrities; therefore, everything about their lives is more visible.
If you want to see the male version of groupies, just follow a very attractive, young woman around. They get hit on all day long — literally everywhere they go. Men don’t chase after celebrities because they don’t value money/social status in their mates like women do; they value youth/beauty, instead. This is why most male stalkers will stalk “regular” women. Women don’t have to be rich/famous to attract men (some very rich/powerful men are seen dating/marrying bartenders and waitresses), but a woman with many stalkers/suitors will almost always be young and/or beautiful.
