    Time to get your big ghey on!


    Mine is Tom Brady.


    He is a legend, superstar Hall of Fame bound QB for the New England Patriots, Supermodel girlfriend (he's too good for her btw), well dressed and an all around charitable, good guy. Not to mention his great grandfather is from Cork!

    And of course, he does this every Sunday:

    I predict that 65%+ of the responses will include
    Christian Bale
    .

    Just to get this straight in my head.
    Man crushes are about coolness?

    To answer the question: noone
    but jeez, look at this forum now "who do you have a man crush on", "homosexuality, homophobia and how straight men deal with gay men", "would you admit you find another man attractive"
    that is three of the top four threads at my time of posting
    I mean it's all very fascinating and all that but maybe confining that discussion to one thread would be better?
    I don't know, the cynic inside of me thinks it is someone trying to coax someone into a homophobic comment/remark so that they can say "ah I told you so, Irish straight men are homophobic gay-bashing neanderthals"
    The majority of us are not and frankly in my opinion there is an overkill on this issue on this forum at the moment and it's getting a bit tedious....and yes I am aware that a mancrush does not necessarily signify a sexual attraction but it may be construed as such...it's just a bit dull, i thought only teenage girls idolised famous people.

    personally speaking, anybody who idolizes someone they don't even know is a bit mad I think, admire yes, respect yes but idolize - hmmm chill out a bit!

    I always thought a man crush as a straight guy is someone I'd fancy if I was a woman? If so yeah Tom Brady would get it :p Christian Bale and George Clooney too. Michael Buble maybe, I can see what women like about him, the jammy git.

    Can't top The Bale though!

    last time i checked this was a forum to discuss mens issues and lives. These topics directly relate to men, so why not discuss them. Three threads out of whole first page is nothing, and going by the content of each of the 3 threads merging them would be impossible, as they all discussing different things. Like we always say around here, if you don't like a thread and its content, simply don't read it.

    as to the bit of your post thats OT, well people have idolised others around them since civilisation began. Certainly the modern media has created idols out of frankly dull, boring or plain stupid people, but people who deserve respect and to be looked up still exist. I would suggest maybe taking some of your own advice.......

    Is this 'man crush' stuff a Dublin thing?

    Saaaaaaaaaaaaadddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    fair comment, thanks for the reply

    it's not an issue I've ever really discussed with my friends in all honesty not because of any homophobic issues but because there is nothing really to discuss

    but I'm sure the more open-minded or information seekers* amongt us have had this discussion and fair play to them for having the courage to do so.

    Unlike a lot of us, people who have this discussion are obviously secure enough in themselves and their sexualities to debate it openly.

    I would never discuss this issue seriously with my friends as I don't take it seriously but throw it out there amongst a group of lads as a laugh in the pub and I guarantee the reactions will tell you a lot about who the secure ones are, who the possible homophobes are (if any) etc.


    * an information seeker is someone who discusses a topic not on the basic of any genuine interest in the specific topic itself, but moreso based on interest in what the reactions of the individuals in the discussion group tell the information seeker about those individuals (especially common for more taboo issues, e.g. you are not going to go up and ask someone "Are you a racist/homophobe etc?", Instead you pose an innocent yet provocative question and watch the sparks fly. I realise I am stating the obvious here but academics make a fortune out of making the simplest of concepts sound complex and elaborate more often than not in order to justify their own existence but that's a whole other topic ;)

    Johnny Depp and George Clooney. They both just go about their business in a very professional way and always come across well in any interviews I see. And they're both good loooking guys if we're coming at it from that perspective too.

    Hey go for it. I don't think anybody would mind. Or you could start your own thread over in TLL.
