Boyfriend gets upset when I compliment celebrities

I saw an interesting question on another forum, I have copied and pasted it below. What do you guys and gals think? It's an interesting one. Do you think he's insecure?

"I have crushes on some celebrities and one of them is Ryan Gosling. For some reason when I compliment him (for example I would say his sexy or hot as he is handsome and does have big muscles), my boyfriend has a little sulk about it.

I don't get it as I will never even meet the guy and I do love my boyfriend. He won't even watch fall guy with me (the film Ryan Gosling is in). But I feel like I can't talk about some things I like as my boyfriend doesn't like hearing about Ryan and it really annoys me when he does go into a little sulk about it.

Do you think my boyfriend is insecure or am I missing something?"

You are missing something... and a lot of it if you can't see how offensive and insensitive your comments are. You are literally sitting with your bf and all you can talk about is how "sexy" some other guy is. It's as though you WANT to hurt his feelings. A relationship shouldn't be about some power play to see how much you can emotionally manipulate the other person. And, to literally pour salt into the wound, you now want to say it's his fault for being insecure. Why are you doing this? (Not you, literally, but whoever originally posted it).

@MarkPaul true. That’s an interesting thought
