Have you ever had a "man-crush"?

[LobsterFeng]

I just got back from watching Thor, and you know what I have to admit it, Chris Hemsworth is a very, very, handsome man. In fact I think I've got some sort of weird heterosexual man crush on him. So I'm just wondering if anyone else gets these sort of things.

Also for some further discussion: I was talking with the group of friends I watched the movie with, and one of my female friends was talking about how hot he was. And I agreed. They then all looked at me weirdly and asked if I was secretly gay or something. 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?

EDIT: This doesn't just apply to actors. It can be any dude real or not.
EDIT 2: If you are a girl, or even gay, then you can still answer. Just use your same or opposite gender attraction and say if you have any crushes.

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

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

To quote moviebob: "Double standards. In a perfect world, there wouldn't be any, but this isn't a perfect world". I'm totally paraphrasing here because I can't be bothered looking the quote up, but you get the point right?

Oh and, Jared Leto. Erm... yeah.

I normally don't find men attractive, but Orlando Bloom is a fucking sexy man. I first noticed in Pirates of the Carribean, and after Kingdom of Heaven I knew that if I were going to sleep with one guy it'd be him.

Ditto on Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness Bruce Campbell.

I've also had a really weird attraction to Christopher Walken since seeing the Weapon of Choice music video.

Can anime characters count? Because my first though was Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket.

It's not his physical apperance. I suppose his personality is just my type.

Not really, guys find lesbians hot, and girls find gays hot (at least the girls I know).
That sounds completely unlike a double standard if I ever heard one.

Man crushes: Picard (the fictional character not the actor who plays him... although the actor too I suppose), Voltaire (not the dead French philosopher, the musician).

 

[TheMagicIndian]

Ummmmmm.....


Liam Neeson. Or, more accurately, his voice.

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

And Nathan Fillion, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and anyone who's played Dr. Who, and John Barrowman, and Graham Stark.

Anyway, as others have said and will continue to say, it's a double standard. Gay men squick people out more than lesbians. There's also the fact that to general audiences, men aren't supposed to be sex objects. The reasons for having sex with them are supposed to be "deeper", and related to their ability as a man, not their looks.

Hemsworth looks juiced, imo.

 

[DJDarque]

I am not afraid to admit that David Boreanaz is a handsome fellow.

 

[LobsterFeng]

Oh and, Jared Leto. Erm... yeah.

...I agree.

 

[lokiduck]

... I am a girl so as one is it okay as long as I talk about my girl crushes? XD

Or and I'm automatically banned from talking?

Anyways my girl crushes are Catherine Zeta Jones, Helen Mirran, and Simone Simons.

As for all your choices boys, I do humbly agree to most of them. XD

 

[Tartarga]

Hugh Laurie and Nathan Fillion. Those are handsome dudes right there.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Well, of course Neil Patrick Harris :3
And I have announced several times that I have a massive man-crush for Dante the demon/ demon hunter and slayer
and oddly enough, Robert Downey jr. He's quite a bit older than me but come on, he's iron man, he's sherlock holmes, he was in U.S. Marshals: he's awesome.

Edit: and ^^^^ to the guy above me: Hugh Laurie. Goddamn

 

[Outright Villainy]

Spoiler: Warning: May be blinded by the sexy

If you don't think Jon Hamm is hot there's something wrong with you.

 

[Twilight.falls]

I agree with others saying Hugh Laurie. Also, Clint Eastwood and Liam Neeson.

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

 

[TyrantGanado]

Mike Patton. Everyone Is Gay For Mike Patton.

Also, Robert Downey Jr. and Simon Neil. And Josh Holloway.

Don't look at me like that.

 

[Naix99]

I'm gay but holy snap! There's a few girls I wouldn't mind!!!
