During a twitter conversation with my good pal @Wolfgang_ we were discussing the merits of Lieutenant Gene Hunt from Life on Mars. So I said he had a mancrush on Gene Hunt. This had him wondering if I was questioning his manhood.
So during a recent TweetUp we delved deeper into the nuances of his mancrush. But wait! What is a mancrush? Thanks to the Interwebs we have our answer.
UrbanDictionary sez :
Man Crush
When a straight man has a “crush” on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him.
Now that we have a definition we need examples!
A guy can have a mancrush on Sean Connery (the Original James Bond!)
A guy cannot have a mancrush on Orlando Bloom (Legolas from Lord Of The Rings)
That seems clear enough based on the resounding cheers from the fellow TweetUp group.
Now not to be confused with just muscle bound he-men like Vin Deisel & Mark Whalberg there is also Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Al Pacino & Robert Redford.
What did we learn? It is ok to have a mancrush, just don’t say you want to run your fingers along his shoulders and stare into his eyes. ;p
