Respect, admiration and idolization of another man.
Non-sexual. Celebrities, athletes and
rock stars are often the object of the man crush.
You can not have a man crush on a friend of yours. That is simply a strong friendship.
Two possible conditions for determining if you have a man crush are:
1. Badly wanting to be that man.
2. If your man crush approached your significant other and began hitting on her, you would
excuse yourself and let him have her, at least temporarily.
I have a man crush on Sidney Crosby. I would likely sell my
soul to be him and if he wanted to nail my
girlfriend, I'd compliment him on his
awesomeness and excuse myself.
