I completely disagree with your point though. Men "hate" good looking male celebrities just as much as women do, the difference is that women are accused of hating because of jealousy but men aren't. Most straight men hate One Direction for example and that's put down to them being a **** band, if a woman hated Cheryl Cole it'd be because she's jealous of her not because, well, she's a **** "musician" this happens all the time, I notice it all the time. Another example is driving, I'll be a passenger in the car with my husband and as we travel he'll come across people doing stupid things that'll make him annoyed, just as many men and women but when its a woman he'll say something like "****ing woman" where as if its a man it's "wanker" or whatever, the fact that he's a man isn't brought into it

Thing is, with one direction he genuinely weren't talented. That being said, someone like Ben Haenow who's obviously attractive has a large male fanbase. I'm going to see if there are any psychological studies on things like this.. Would be interesting to see factual evidence, either way.

You've missed my point completely Raph. I'm not saying men are jealous of One Direction, I'm saying that their reason for disliking them probably is because their **** and people accept that but people don't accept the same for a woman if she hates a good looking female musician, it's almost always put down to jealousy even though it makes no sense what so ever because there's a whole host of very attractive female musicians that women do like just like there are good looking female reality TV star that women like but still women are always accused of being jealous if they dislike a goodlooking female Reality TV Star
