The cult-like worship of certain females, especially by European young men, seems to be a deep archetype of "Minnedienst", "Love-service" in their ethnic memory. It's not about really being with the woman. It's about praising her beauty and going to battle for her (this part is missing, unfortunately, today; this means posting). It is the “High Minne” of German Minnesang: the woman is placed socially and symbolically above the man. The singer serves, courts, and suffers. And it is Dantes Dolce Stil Novo. The unattainability of the woman is necessary. She is celebrated not as a concrete individual but as a perfect ideal. The real person disappears behind that archetype. She must not age or change. Gio becomes like Dante's Beatrice. Like in older times, this desire must be publicly performed. The point is not to “get the her,” but to appear and perform as her great admirer and lover. But the troubadour is not only suffering. He gains something from his Minnedienst and unfulfilled desire: it is personal refinement, inspiration, and, before everything, a romantic poetic identity. This also creates a sense of community with other Troubadours - the digital Fedeli di Amore. Interesting Analogy.
