Who do you have a "man crush" on? Let's call it "opposite crush".

[Locut0s]

First state your sexual orientation then state who you have a man/girl crush on. This only works if you strongly identify as straight or gay, if you are bisexual i'm not sure it really works. So I'll go first:

Straight
Steven Colbert

Love the guy.

[Aristus]

1. I'm a straight guy. My man-crush is Thom Barry.

Very appealing character actor.

[Locut0s]

3. Huh. I'm embarrassed to say I don't even know who that is.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. He plays Detective Will Jeffries on "Cold Case."

[LeftyMom]

2. I'm going to beat the rush on this one: Rachel Maddow.

edit: In case anybody's new to the lounge, I am a straight female.

[Sky Masterson]

5. You have awesome taste in women!

Rachel has it all!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

38. Straight female: Rachel Maddow.

Yep there must be a lot of us out there.

If I was gonna play for the other team, she would be my first pick.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

61. Likewise!

She just has something about her -- even my 76 year old Mom has a girlcrush on her! The SF Chron TV columnist Jon Carroll practically pulled a Rich Lawry over Rachel in one column a few months back. :D

[Manifestor_of_Light]

70. i wish she would wear pink lipstick. she looks washed out and frosty.

[Lex]

78. LOL!

omfg

[Sky Masterson]

4. Straight male

Probably a young Marlon Brando.
The guy was beyond cool.
I'd give anything to be half as good looking as him

[Locut0s]

6. Sad to see him in his latter years. His inner demons really did him in.

[Sky Masterson]

7. Yea. I think age and fame had a bit to do with that

He was a good man though and he fought the good fight
"Brando was an activist, lending his presence to many issues, including the American Civil Rights and American Indian Movements."

What happened to Charlie Heston

[Pool Hall Ace]

8. I am a straight woman who could go for some Suze Orman

I am in the process of divorce, and she could help straighten out my finances while I could do . . . well, whatever she requests. I have toys I'm willing to share, too! :D

[taterguy]

9. If I answered Jim Cramer it would be icky, but your answer is well . . .

[Pool Hall Ace]

10. My answer is well what? You don't like Suze? That's okay. Different strokes

and all that. :thumbsup: :hi:

[taterguy]

12. Your answer is hot

Us straight guys have a thing about women together, in case you hadn't noticed

[Pool Hall Ace]

13. Oh! Okay.

Now I that I think of it, yeah, you guys *do* like to see women together! :)

[hippywife]

11. Straight woman here

who has an opposite crush on Holly Hunter. Especially after I saw Living Out Loud. Found Queen Latifah quite attractive, too. :hi:

Ecstasy Dance Scene from Living Out Loud:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwTdsuEJpV0











Oh, and Heidi, too. :loveya:

[sarge43]

27. Yes. I can see the appeal. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

31. I met Holly once and she was soooo nice.

She just seemed like such a down-to-earth person who seemed genuinely interested in whatever I blathered to her. I've always liked her and followed her career since I saw her on Broadway in Crimes of the Heart in '82.

[hippywife]

32. I've enjoyed her in just about anything

I've seen her in. Glad to hear she's such a nice person, too. Lucky you! :hi:

[Heidi]

55. !

:*

[Bunny]

14. Sarah Haskins

She cracks me up.

[sarge43]

15. Straight female

Long term girl crush: Helen Mirren

[hippywife]

19. Oh, yeah!

You have great taste. :hi:

[sarge43]

22. Why thank you.

Dame Helen is a class act, sexy, takes her work but not herself seriously.

[EOTE]

58. Helen Mirren has the unique distinction of being the oldest woman I'd really like to sleep with.

But being a straight male, my man crush is John Cusack. He had me at "In Your Eyes".

[sarge43]

62. Well

Cusack is on my "doable" list. Now if Dame Helen and Johnny are agreeable ......

Never mind

[EOTE]

63. You never know. Celebrities are an interesting bunch.

Here is Helen Mirren at 63, btw. How the hell does anyone still have a body like this at 63?

[sarge43]

68. OK, have your people call her people. Mine will call his. They'll call ours

If this doesn't unravel, we'll do lunch or something.

As for that bod, the buzz is she's drinks producers' blood.

[cwydro]

16. Gay woman here.

But I used to think Antonio Banderas was hot.

[Minimus]

17. Straight woman here and I have a crush on cwydro!

[cwydro]

18. Well, uh,

:7 :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

53. Could you add me to your dance card, too?

We could get together and do some minor home maintenance. ;)

[Fleshdancer]

20. straight woman and the crush is Katherine Moennig

I'm pretty sure she could teach me why men aren't necessary.

[Minimus]

21. Shane from "The L Word " - Hell yeah to that!

[latebloomer]

33. Wow, I never heard of her

but I see what you mean!

I got Showtime a few months ago- wonder when the L-Word is coming back- have never seen it.

[NewJeffCT]

23. I'm straight, but I've never really had a man crush

am I weird? I've seen male public figures, actors & the like that I think are good looking, but nobody has stretched to man crush territory.

[Bucky]

24. Straight dude, mancrush on Alaska's former First Dude (Taaaad Palin)

I dunno what it is, but he's totally the guy I wish I was. He's got a hot wife, a bunch of adorable kids, he rocks the most awesomest goatee ever, and he's got a hobby that involves racing igloos (or something like that). If I had three more testicles, I'd be Todd Palin, too.

[EastTennesseeDem]

26. DUzy

[BuddhaGirl]

30. ROFLMAO!

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

60. I'd bet he'd let you ride his snow machine

if you know what I mean.

:D

[Rosie1223]

66. Bucky, you're my hero

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[EastTennesseeDem]

25. Straight male

Albert Pujols.

[seemunkee]

28. Straight guy - Joe Wilson

This one

and his wife is pretty damn hot too

NOT this one

[BuddhaGirl]

29. straight female

with a longtime opposite crush on Kate Winslett...she is gorgeous and sexy! :blush:

Needless to say, hubby has, uh, certain fantasies of that LOLOL

[latebloomer]

34. Joan Jett

Wish I knew how to post a pic, but-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcoiLTf5Du8

Smokin at 50!!

[Lucian]

35. Straight male, David Bromstad from the HGTV show "Color Splash"

[elana i am]

36. straight woman

pauley perrette

[AsahinaKimi]

37. (straight female) Oh.. I guess its Kayo Aiko

But I also love Otsuka Ai.

[SKKY]

39. Straight Male.

Dave Matthews. Not sure what it is.

[Rhiannon12866]

40. Shirley Jones, at least I did when I was eight... ;)

My cousin did, too... ;) And we're both straight. :-)

[unpossibles]

41. as a bi male who often crushes on lesbians and drag kings

I'm not sure there is much for me to say here....

[blue_roses_lib]

42. Straight woman...

Cate Blanchett...mmmmmm. She's like gravity to me. :blush:

[betharina]

65. yes! straight female...

and cate blanchett does it for me as well!

[flvegan]

44. Straight male, Mike Patton.

You know, from Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc.

[LeftyMom]

48. No fair picking somebody you've actually seen oiled up and naked.

[proteus_lives]

45. Straight guy. Stan "The Man" Lee.

Created Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Dr. Strange, DareDevil, Thor, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and raised the Mighty Marvel Comics. He created over 200 characters and pushed the Comics industry his entire life.

He's the bees knees.

Excelsior!

[Locut0s]

57. I can definitely see being envious of his life. Talk about being paid for doing what you love! nt

[EOTE]

59. Are you sure you wouldn't just rather have him as a cameo in your fantasy?

Like perhaps he could be in a room full of insatiable nympho-maniacs and he'd stand up and say "These women desperately need to have their pipes cleaned. This sounds like a job for Plumber-man!"

[Heidi]

46. Oh, let's see.

hippywife

[cwydro]

49. Oh, now I am HURT.

;-) :hi:

[Heidi]

50. Okay. I'll admit it but I hope you aren't embarrassed by this admission.

I find it extremely hot that you can change a furnace filter in the (EW!) basement. :loveya:

:yourock:

P.S. :* <-- I mean it, beh-beh.

[cwydro]

51. LOL!

I'd forgotten that one!:rofl:

[hippywife]

67. ...

[Bunny]

76. Wow! You're such a sweetheart, Heidi.

I'm pretty fond of you, too. :loveya: And it's a pleasure to be included in such a fine list of DU women. :grouphug:

[AllenVanAllen]

47. I'm a straight male and my "opposite crush" would be

President Barack Obama.





Cause' he's got a bad-ass ride.



You gotta' think about the perks...

[Heidi]

52. That revelation is probably gonna make

Call Me Wesley cry. :rofl:

Mornin', AllenVanAllen! :hi:

[chemenger]

54. Straight ... Steve McQueen

n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

56. Let's see, straight guy here.

I'd have to say I've always been intrigued by our 42nd President, Mr. William Jefferson Clinton. No offense to our equally as cool current President, but something about Bill Clinton just kicks ass--the dude has charisma, charm, speaking skills. I'd love to be on that level.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

64. My dream gay Nick Jr. themed threeway.

Me. DJ Lance. Sportacus.

[Xipe Totec]

69. I have a man crush on Bob

[Richardo]

71. Straight - George Clooney

[Bunny]

73. Lucky you. You got to see his butt.

Harrumph.




:D :hi: Richardo! :pals: :loveya:

[Richardo]

74. Yes, I thought I was smitten by his good looks and 'man's man' charm...

...but the butt really tipped the balance, so to speak.


Bunny! :pals: :fistbump: :loveya:

[Taverner]

72. Male - Straight - David Bowie

[debbierlus]

79. That's my husband's man crush!

[Razoor]

75. Straight Male Lawrence O'Donnell

really great guy. I really like it when he covers for Keith on countdown.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

77. I'll add another one: Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. Women love the guy.

And I can legitimately understand why they do. The whole rugged personality, distinctive voice. I have to say I'm rather jealous of him.

For example, take a look at how the cute mosquito control girl looked at him all throughout this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSoISPI4ODU

The dude has mad skills, I tell you.
