Straight men and mancrushes Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Idea stolen from SuperSneak from another forum. He posted it while Poly was down there and doesn't have time to post it here, but I found it interesting and would like to have more responses on it.

In Sneak's words about "mancrush",
quote:
Its a term to describe a perfectly acceptable stirring of the hetero male's loins for a celebrity male.
Popular subjects are Vigo Mortenson(? -- Aragorn from LOTR), Jude Law, Brad Pitt.

Anyone here brave enough to admit one?

Why is it that Europeans have such good taste, anyway?

I mean, the more "manly" guys get, the more fugly they are. Hell, look at the south/Texas.

Of course all gay conspiracists tries to say that when I liked Brad Pitts performance in Fight Club, and also thought he looked good, that I'm gay and only want to have sex with him, trying to make me gay too.

Not falling for that one!

Legolas was a total finey, though. Even if he WAS prancing about in the forest with Farrah Faucett's old wig on. Does that make me a fag hag? I hope not. I'm pretty sure he only plays on the hetero team, but then again, he IS a bit of a fairy...

If I was a straight man with a mancrush, it would be on Edward James Norton, Jr.

Mancrushes are the gay idiot's version of the straight idiot's fantasy that lesbians just need a real man (like him).

I don't think lesbians need a real man. Just a real man with a video recorder.....



I admit that, there was a guy on my ship in the Navy, that I thought would have been a good looking woman.

Turns out, during the crossing the line ceremony, he was his divisiond entry in the "Wog Queen" contest. He didn't pull it off very well.

ACK!

Well, I figure with my luck, he'll be gay and/or already married/engaged. I'm pretty sure he's already hitched.

So he's a safe nonman theoretical mancrush by nonlesbian female.

But in RL, he doesn't exist, because he's an actor playing fictional characters who also don't exist, and he's a 2-dimensional projection of someone's overblown ego. THAT'S my theory for why true love does NOT exist.

I have had crushes on men but not in that way. If you pop a bone for a guy you are gay.
