man crush 

A strong and extremely complicated positive emotion that a straight male feels towards another male. It is by no means homosexual, although it could possibly involve some degree of sexual attraction. This is not the type of sexual attraction that one would actually pursue; it is merely a complex sort of desire out of "fantasy" that is driven by jealousy and/or great admiration.

A 'man crush' can basically be described as not a homosexual lust, but a human lust.
You know that one football player who's a senior with the perfect skin, the perfect smile, the dark short hair, the soothing voice, the easygoing and fun attitude, and the perfectly tan and fit and muscular body that has all the girls on campus going crazy? I mean, c'mon, what guy DOESN'T have a man crush on him? He's perfect... It's so unfair... LOL

A man crush that isn't homo, because the guy's black. Don't make fun of someone for having a black man crush, because it's not homo at all, and you'll seem unknowledgable on the subjects of black men and sexuality.

Man Crush 

Noun.

When a heterosexual man has intense admiration for another man, to the point that it seems like sexual attraction (but it's not). This is usually a submissive-dominant relationship, since the person with the man crush will usually do or say anything to win the respect of (or a high-five from) the crushee.
Person 1: Jay's not here, he's off playing one-on-one basketball with Frank.

Person 2: I thought Jay hated sports.

Person 1: Man crush...

Person 2: Ah, say no more.
