It's a play on words. Originally used in geology, but nowadays I've seen people call other stuff, mainly creepy ones like this doll, leverites.

How do famous people date? Like, how does a celebrity go out and meet people and make normal connections with someone who isn’t also a celebrity? It would probably be really uncomfortable to date a “fan”, but at a certain point of fame there just isn’t much of a demographic that doesn’t already know who you are and possibly have some kind of opinion about you, even if they aren’t part of your fandom. How do you form genuine connections between equals?

[itlooksliketheydisapparated]

There are people who can like someone’s work and still treat them like a person. If the literal prince of England can form a genuine connection with a girl he met at college then a celebrity, even the highest of a-list, surely can meet someone.

[glumshoe]

Oh, of course–I imagine it’s a bit different for royalty, since their faces usually aren’t as recognizable (or as attractive) as those of people who are on international TV or in movies a lot. 

But household names can’t just go out and mingle freely like normal people can. Past a certain degree of fame, it could be dangerous to do so–you probably have multiple stalkers, and even mundane interactions with passerby are full of non-malicious harassment. You might have a bodyguard, or you might be restricted to visiting only exclusive venues where your celebrity status won’t be remarkable. Even if you do meet “regular” people you hit it off with, how many of them are sycophants determined to ‘get in’ with you and not really interested in the element of genuine human connection? 

I was thinking about the kids from Stranger Things and how, even if they were to leave showbiz completely, right now, they’re going to be instantly recognizable around the world for the next ten years or more. Just like the Harry Potter cast, they started young and will never really know “normalcy”, and every friendship or romance they have will be in the context of being international celebrities that strangers approach on the street for selfies. 

This is probably why a lot of celebrities date within the industry–even if they’re not dating other celebrities, they might be dating stylists or photographers or managers who are exposed to enough famous people on a regular basis that they’re no longer starstruck.

Ollie Thorn AKA PhilosophyTube did a video where he spoke about parasocial relationships (if I can find which one, I’ll edit in a link), and mentioned trying to date as a fairly recognisable YouTube personality. Like, in the wider world, he’s not even that famous, but he already struggles to meet people because the likelihood is that if they have similar key interests and values they likely know of him. I think he even mentioned having people pretend to not know him so they could get close to him.

If he struggles then what hope do like, traditional celebrities have? Especially, as you say, the young ones.

[glumshoe]

“People pretending not to know who you are” is way weirder than it sounds, and it sounds pretty weird. I’m like, Z-list internet famous, so the only people who ever recognize me IRL are young weird nerdy neurodivergent LGBTQ artsy nature folk… which is a relatively niche population that also happens to be the beginning and end of my compatible dating options. I get recognized IRL maybe 2-3 times a year, and it’s fine, I’ve made friends that way, and I’m not anybody of importance or power… but it still makes me very wary about dating apps because I’ve had people pretend not to recognize me and coincidentally target my exact interests with laser precision and adopt artificial personas designed to appeal to me. There’s no real fame and certainly no wealth involved, but it can be an extremely awkward dynamic when someone is a complete stranger to you but knows a ton about your own life and interests… and genuinely unsettling when they aren’t honest about that.

(Note: I don’t mean ‘have a single engaging conversation with me at work and at the end of it mention that they follow my blog’. You’re fine, we’re cool, I enjoyed talking to you!)
