Short YouTube monologue (host Anwar White) answering the question "What about dating a celebrity?" The speaker's clear advice: generally "Don't do it." Key points: celebrities and athletes often maintain a "roster" of partners, possess strong egos that demand constant attention, and may become more attention-seeking if their stardom declines (e.g., retired athletes attempting to relive peak fame).
Someone said, what about dating a celebrity?
Don't do it. And if you're going to do it, understand that it's just a roller coaster. It's not real life.
It's the same thing as dating athletes.
This is for a lot of people who can have anyone and everyone. This is.
You are part of the roster.
They will always have a roster, oftentimes even if they are married. And this is because when you're a celebrity, it is almost impossible for you not to have an ego, part of celebrity energy. And I did an episode, a podcast episode about this is about having ego.
And so their ego will tell them that they deserve all of the attention in the world.
So what happens is, even if you're giving them attention, they're still going to want more and more of it because they're used to having everyone adore them, and one is not enough. They need an audience. They will always need an audience. And if their stardom is going down, they're going to need even more of an audience. People think, oh, my God, just because I'm getting with a retired NBA or NFL player, that it's going to be better. It's not. It's actually going to be worse because they're going to try to relive the days of when they were at their peak. So they're going to be even more desperate for that attention.
