Man Crush?
Do you like this story?
Man Crush (as defined by Urban Dictionary) : When a straight man has a "crush" on another man, not sexual, but kind of idolizing him. It goes on to give an example, "Many straight men end up having man crushes on Johnny Depp (I don't blame them)".
Now in my personal life I have been down this road numerous times like when I used to go out clubbing with the boys I was "Mike the Gay Drunk" or when I won the 2nd place ribbon in a gay chicken competition or even when I used to daze out while watching Elvis' 68 comeback special. These examples I'd like to think are common amongst straight men. After all what woman doesn't enjoy a man who is comfortable with his sexuality. Shit my girl calls me and my friends gay all the time.
But, there is a line. Two guys can joke around with each other about how dreamy Arod is and I fully understand, when it gets weird is when it involves a man who IS accessible, not a TMZ product. Never and I mean never should a man say "I have a man crush on (add name)", when that person is a co worker or friend. Now I know we've all joked, but I need rules to this. No awkward silence, no statement like " No, dude I'm serious" immediately after. Trust me I've witnessed it and you can hear a pin drop. So remember man crushes, no biggie, just play your man cards right with this topic because it sure can get ugly fast. Now I have to run Netflix just sent me that new Matthew McConahey surfing movie.
