Have you ever had a "man-crush"?

[Togs]

Once or twice, but after getting ot know them I quickly realise there just as fucked up as me.

Although I wont lie Heath Ledger was scarily attractive for a man.

 

[Shadowfaze]

Nathan Fillion, or to be more specific, Captain Mal from Firefly. Because that guy is awesome.

Definitely. He's come up a few times already; I don't doubt a lot more people will confess having a man-crush on him.

More recently, and somewhat more weirdly, I've been struck by how very pretty Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is. Weirdly because he's technically playing a villain in Game of Thrones, although I've grown to actually really like his character over the course of the books.

Not in a sexual way, no. I think the prevalence of the "man crush" in society is greatly exaggerated.

But Woody Harrelson in Zombieland was really, really cool. He made that movie several times better than it would have been otherwise.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I've had a lot of them, but then again I am of the man-loving persuasion. In tersm of girls I've had crushes on...

Tricia Helfer, Lucy Lawless, Zooey Daschanel (no idea if I spelt that right but any guy with sexual awareness knows who I'm on about) and , for the weird one, Jennifer Saunders.

 

[SonOfStayPuft]

Yeah I do & i'm comfortable in my sexuality to admit these are good lookng guys.

He's awesome as Tony Stark in the Iron Man Movies.I think it's the cockiness and confidence

He is the WWE Superstar John Morrison for anyone that doesn't know.I admire the athletic ability and parkour style moves he does.Plus, he's awesome.

Don't forget Bill's awesome Cameo.That was also a highlight

So tell me. What are the chances of becoming gay after a man-crush?
I mean... aren't you curious? What are your thoughts?

My boyfriends has a strong man-crush on Brad Pitt. I think is great for a guy to be able to see the beauty and awesomeness in a man, even being hetereosexual, but scares me sometimes.

My girl crush: Stoya

 

[siahsargus]

Neil Patrick Harris, I bet he'll come up quite a lot

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this
although it feels kind of weird since Neil Patrick Harris IS actually gay

I know, which is awesome. But I guess as I'm neither gay, strait or asexual, I can't say who my "gender I'm not attracted to" person who I have a crush on. Why doesn't someone just ask me who I'm not attracted to, although that's a pretty long list.

WTF, Captcha?

 

[Samson5090]

Nathan Fillion...that's all I'll say about that

Your afraid of your boyfriend becoming gay? That's not a bad thing if he's still your boyfriend. Besides every healthy heterosexual person has at least one gay crush, it's just how it works.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

At least, younger Clint Eastwood. Before, he was a handsome badass. Now he's just an old badass.

Ooh, almost forgot Clint.

Also, Robert Downey Jr., and Hugh Jackman. Apparently I man-crush on guys that could best be described as ruggedly handsome.

And Bakura. May be fictional, but everyone's gay for Bakura.

 

[JokerCrowe]

Ewan McGregor is a really, really good looking man. And I love his accent and smile. Plus, he seems really nice.
Oh and Colin Farrell is also very good looking.
I'm really too busy with all my crushes on girls right now, but those two will always have a special place for me.

 

[EHKOS]

Yeah, T-pain is awesome. I wish I had his build..and hair.

 

[Blackvegie]

Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie.

 

[newfoundsky]

Neil Patrick Harris, I bet he'll come up quite a lot

A winner is you.

Niel Patrick Harris. He just seems sooooo. . . Niel Patrick Harris like.

 

[Wilko316]

Johnny Depp in The Libertine, I'm a heterosexual male but he's a seriously hot dude. XD

 

[Death Carr]

David Tennant and if voices are allowed I have an entire playlist on my iPod of just Patrick Stewarts sexy, sexy, voice

 

[Death Carr]

woops double-post sorry my bad

So this got me thinking, why can a girl comment on how beautiful she thinks another girl is, but when a guy comments on how handsome he thinks another guy is it's suddenly gay?

It's society's double standard at work again. Lesbian action is hot, gay action is icky.

I don't know that it's a double standard. Lesbian action (well, to me, real "lesbian action" between two attractive women) IS hot, whereas gay action is "icky." But that's just because I'm one of those people who thinks that all men, myself included, are icky. Actually treating someone as if they are strange for one and not for the other is a double standard.

Chris Hemsworth is a very, very, handsome man...one of my female friends was talking about how hot he was. And I agreed.

Most straight men don't comment on how attractive they think another guy is. This is for two primary reasons, beyond the homophobia that is characteristic of some of us.
1. We don't care
2. We aren't attracted to men at all, so the thought isn't there in the first place.

I think you define man-crush differently from how most of us do. Man-crush is usually meant to indicate that a guy has admiration for another man that either borders on obsessive or makes for an easy opportunity for the insipid to be homophobic. It's yet another chance to homo-eroticize everything. Look, it's Sam and Frodo walking up the path to Mount Doom. That's homoerotic. Here's two wrestlers in spandex pile driving each other - that's homoerotic. Look, two gay guys sucking each other off - that's homoerotic. I'm sick of it!

Where was I? Anyway, I'm sure you're as adverse to labels as a lot of people are, but if you're actually attracted to men and find yourself saying things like the bolded statements above, you may want to look into the possibility that you are gay or bi.

I'll explain it like this: I think Thor is a very attractive guy, and I can see why girls like him. But I am not physically attracted to him. Like I don't want to make out with him or anything like that. Just admire him for his handsomeness.

Here's the thing: Sexuality is not a Black & White issue, where we simply have either gay or straight people from either gender. We are all bisexual to some extent, it just depends how far along on one side of the scale you are

Ugh, would people please stop with this? Not everybody is on that scale. Please only speak for yourself.
