My obsession is thus:

Interestingly enough, I think that Jessica Alba is one of the few celebrities that is amazing enough to cause such grief in a guy. She simply has the perfect face and body and a unique personality.

It's my belief that we all need to have some sort of girl to always have a crush on. In its own way, it's an instinctual need- studies have shown that the brains of men looking at pictures of hot women will react very much in the same way as when they are eating their favorite meal. It's a rush of endorphins to the brain, among other things.

So Jessica Alba has essentially been my displaced "crush", so to speak. This is kind of a bad thing in a way, because there is almost no way in hell that I'll ever even so much as see her in person.

You grow so fond of her and her life that it starts to really irritate and depress you that you'll never be part of it. And that feeling can actually get extremely bad sometimes, despite how irrational it all is. Because in the age of the internet we can learn so much about a person, we feel that we know her, but that she'll never know us.

Furthermore, she's JESSICA ALBA, and is pure perfection. Her amazingness results in you having higher standards for "real girls" that you interact with in your everyday life. Her beauty and "hotness" is something that no girl can match. So you're kind of trapped in this perpetuating cycle. Jessica Alba is amazing, therefore other girls aren't as amazing, leading you to keep your "crush" on Jessica.

Her perfection is also humbling. Even if by some miraculous chance I were to meet Jessica, and actually got into a conversation, it's highly unlikely that she'd be interested in me. I'm a regular looking guy who works a regular job- and she's a super-hot actress that makes movies.

But I've found that you can channel these feelings into positive energy. As dumb or odd as it sounds, Jessica Alba has caused me to work out and be physically fit, eat healthy, keep my apartment really clean, and improve my social skills. I picture a situation where I'd actually meet her, and as a result work to make sure that I am as attractive as possible. After I saw Honey, I was like, "You know, I need to have good abs too", and now I do. Or, I'll be like, "What would Jessica Alba think if she were to come into my apartment right now?", resulting in some pretty hardcore cleaning.

But she really is a powerful force. One thing I see on messageboards around the web is that she, moreso than any other "starlet" that I've seen, is very capable of putting almost any guy under her spell. Look at any interview she does with a guy, it's always hilarious. Conan and Letterman hit on her, the GQ guy is seduced by her, etc.
