Top 10 Guys You're Allowed to Have a Man Crush On

Alright. I've been on hiatus for a while due to a lack of creative inspiration, until now.

Anyway, the title says it all. First, I want to define a 'man-crush.' A man crush is when you admire a man, but you take it a step further. Maybe you've read someone's entire Wikipedia page. Maybe you closely follow every detail of their life. Maybe you watch every movie, tv show, etc that they are in- this is what I'm talking about. Let's get this party 

started.

[(The criteria to be on the list were a. they have to be alive, b. they have to be males, c. they have to be awesome.) (Fictional characters permitted)]

10. Jack Johnson

Is there anyone more cool and relaxed? How can you not love this guy? He writes mellow music that seems to melt your troubles away. He has a former surfer so that adds to his awesomeness

. Imagine him playing his acoustic guitar on a Hawaiian beach with a fire burning and girls in bikinis surrounding him. You can't help yourself. There's nothing not to like about him.

9. Any Special Forces soldier

Whether he is a member of Delta Force, SEALs, Force Recon, or the Green Berets, you have to respect and admire these guys. The training is harder than everything in your entire life will be. The things they've seen and missions they've successfully completed give them an eery sense of confidence and control. And if you don't love the guys that are protecting your freedom, you're a terrorist. 

8. Les Stroud

For those of you who don't know, Les Stroud is the star of Survivorman on the Discovery Channel. This guy can do it all. He can survive in every environment on earth. And he films it-- by himself. He is also calm and collected even when there are lions surrounding him or he has not had a sip of water in days. Finally, have you ever heard of someone who plays the harmonica who isn't awesome? Guys can't help but love this ultimate survivor/harmonica enthusiast.

7. Mike Rowe

Mike Rowe is the host of the Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs. He has a very rugged, manly voice. His sense of humor is the main reason he's on the list. He is so funny. And he does America's filthiest jobs. As we all know, funny is a powerful attraction tool. Guys can't help but tune in for every episode, claiming to watch for the jobs and not the host. But we all know the real reason. It's okay to admit it, guys.

6. Peter Griffin

Again, the humor gets us. He is a main reason people (particularly guys) are drawn to Family Guy. He would have been higher up if he was real, or had sex with hotter chicks. He doesn't really care about what people think and guys love that. It's fun to watch and dream to be as carefree, funny, and witty as Peter Griffin.

5. Dr. House

Another humorous fellow. But this guy is cocky, witty, confident, smart AND he has a cane. He always has a sassy comment for his boss (who is a woman). He saves lives, which is a plus. House is quite the womanizer as well, having sex with his fellow colleagues quite often. Above all, his nonchalant-ness is the kicker. He is never surprised or phased by anything, a quality that is valued among men. 

4. David Beckham

This guy is perhaps the most well known player in the most well known sport in the world. He had to be on the list. He also has his name on everything, ranging from perfume to clothes. He also has a pretty attractive wife, which makes him more attractive. He makes an absurd amount of money. He dresses like a champ. Beckham is definitely one guy you're allowed to have a man crush on.

3. James Bond

Girls, guns, spy-skills. Enough said. He gets with sooo many attractive girls. He never dies and always come out on top. His only downfall is the actor who plays him changes every once in a while. The actor who plays him is usually attractive but is not consistent and this fact influenced his spot on the list. Guys can't help but want to be James Bond after every Bond movie they watch. 

2. Michael Weston

For those of who don't know, Michael Weston is

 a character from the tv show, Burn Notice. I highly recommend watching it. It's about a spy who was basically fired and they eliminated every record of him ever being alive. So he has to go around taking private assignments to get mo

ney. He is humble and modest. He is the best dressed spy of all time. He lives in Miami. He has an attractive girlfriend. Weston takes Bond to the next level. He knows so many skills that Bond wishes he knew and uses them to hel

p civilians, all without any help besides his best friend and his girlfriend. He is always calm, quick on his feet, and fast thinking. No situation is too difficult for him. Michael Weston, played by Jeffrey Donovan, is awesome.

1. Brad Pitt

If you're a guy and don't love Brad Pitt, you're either a. insecure about your sexuality b. never seen him in a movie c. never seen him, period d. or forgot he's married to Angelina Jolie. His role in Fight Club is enough proof alone for his awesomeness. He has the ideal body type. His facial structure is nearly perfect. His eyes are cool. You can feel the confidence as he lives. He knows he is the best there is and acts like it. He has acted in so many cool movies (too many to list) that guys love him for. They also admire his relationship with one of the hottest stars in the world, Angelina Jolie. The fact that he can come home to a bed with that woman in it is enough to want to be him. Not to mention he has solid political and social stances. This guy has it all. 

Honorable Mention: Derek Jeter, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jason Bourne, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Brett Favre

By the way, having a man crush does not make you gay. Guys can find other guys attractive without being homosexual. Unless you actually want to have sexual relations with that guy, you're not homosexual. Admitting another guy is attractive shows your secure with your sexuality and you don't care what people think about you. This, in turn, makes you more attractive.  

In conclusion, this was not easy to do. I hope this will stir some debate. I want to hear your thoughts.
