The women who exemplified what you want in a wife (a girl like dear old mom).
My mom
My mom’s mom
Samantha from Bewitched
Bonnie Hunt
Harriet Vane from Dorothy L Sayers mysteries (someday I hope I’ll find someone as complex and difficult as that!)
My early ideals of romantic beauty and awakening erotic interest. Childhood crushes, in other words.
Stephanie Tanner (from Full House)
Anna Chlumsky (from My Girl)
Ariel, Jasmine, and Jessica Rabbit
Amy Jo Johnson (the pink Power Ranger)
Natalie Portman
Lacey Chabert (from Lost in Space)
The girl from Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes (a very short but very intense crush)
The really big two that lasted the longest were definitely Amy Jo Johnson and Natalie Portman. I was in love with those two girls. I idolized them a bit.
Honorable Mentions (these were noticed by me, impacted me, but I was in some way conflicted, so they never were a real crush, I just was aware that they were attractive), The Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Michele Pfeifer, Kirsten Dunst (from Jumanji), Clarissa (from Clarissa Explains it All), Kelly (from Saved by the Bell)
Special consideration awards, girls I liked a lot but didn’t quite see as either romantic ideals or as spousal ideals. Women I just liked a lot, but more like a sister
Princess Leia
Ripley from Aliens
Anne from the Anne of Green Gables mini series (maybe a little romantic interest in that last one, but I think it was more that identified with her a lot)
