When Fantasies Fail You

Do you have this wonderful fantasy world that every now and then you allow yourself a moment in? I'm not even talking BIG fantasy world's like castles and kingdoms full of beautiful people and food that won't make you fat. I'm talking that simple little fantasy that every now and then when you see a certain person, be it an old flame, a neighbor or even an actor, you say to yourself, "Oh boy I could do him!" Okay, maybe you don't use that terminology. But you know what I mean. The(in my case a guy)kinda fantasy man that you know you never will meet and never ever have a chance at but every great once in a while when you see him on TV or the movies, you take in one of those deep breaths and just sigh at the thought of it. Or maybe this person seeps into your dreams, where you do whatever it is your fantasy is.
Now I guess I've made myself clear on what I mean by fantasy.
Now, imagine this fantasy person goes and does something that ruins it all for you. For example. Say you have this hot for his bod kinda fantasy for say......uh......Mel Gibson. You think he is handsome and oh so fine, plus he's a family man with a great ass. Yeah, say that is your fantasy. Then Mr. Mel goes and does something like getting STINKING DRUNK and says really horrible things when on the police camera. Oh did I mention he was..DRIVING DRUNK!! Ah yes, and if that didn't shatter your image of him he goes and tries to talk it all away. Not even attempting to take responsibility for his action. If you were a man, it would have the same effect as jumping in a ice cold pool. Instead you are a woman and damned if you aren't pissed.
It's hard enough to find someone or something to fantasize about. Every time you think you've found something there is some hidden flaw that makes you turn away in horror. Why we can't just let it go and live for the breathless moment that will never be, is beyond me. Not that this has ever happened to me mind you.....I was just saying what IF this happened.
So, what do you do when your fantasy fails you?
