Prison residents get fan-mail only from wacko’s or losers. But famous men do get lots of women fans who are quite normal in many ways. It is the genes talking, when the stronger cave men were best bet to protect their progeny. Civilization is barely 5000 years old, while human genes go back million years or more. That is why the Paleo diet is better for us.
Cannot dispute your relating this to atavistic tendencies, but here is my opinion. Being attracted to a strong, alpha male is quite normal — this woman is. Contacting some man on TV in these times is not acceptable, and, at the very least, indicates a shallowness of character.
