The Merrill Dubrow Blog

I get asked often how I pick the topics for my postings. For me it has come very easy, just writing about life. Whether it is experiences I have had, things that don’t make sense or goofy things that everyone notices or does. When I come up with a topic it goes into a draft folder and then when I am ready to write a few posts I look in there and the rest is history. As I write this post I have over 80 topics in my draft folder.
 
The reason I am telling you this boring story is this posting has been in my draft folder for a very long time. For whatever reason I thought the time was right to toss it out there.
 
Since I have been at M/A/R/C one of my colleagues (TA) has accused me of having a man crush on someone. At first I didn’t even know what that was, so I needed to look it up. In doing so, one of the definitions of a Man Crush is when a straight man has a "crush" on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him.
 
The question is, do most guys have a Man Crush on someone? I have never had this discussion with my buddies so I gave it some thought.
 
If I had a Man Crush on someone who might it be?

• Would it be a successful business person?
   
• Would it be an athlete?
   
• Would it be an actor?

I think for me it could be anyone who is successful, thoughtful, creative, giving, different, good looking and is at the top of their game. So the question is who fits that criteria? The few names that came to mind were Jimmy Connors and Johnny Damon. Both of them are winners in my book and are characters. Both appear to be fun loving and really love life. Ok I said it. I think I have a Man Crush on Jimmy Connors and Johnny Damon.

Alright guys, your turn.

• Do you have a Man Crush on someone?
   
• If so who is it?
   
• Is your definition of a Man Crush different than the one I tossed out there?

So who is it?  Brad Pitt? George Clooney?

You tell me!

I look forward to your comments.
