BenRG:
I've noticed that, of late, romantic terms of endearment have started being used for non-romantic emotions. This can get... confusing. In this context, "man-crush" actually means "great admiration of this person's actions, words and nature".

How is a "man crush" different from any other "crush"? Or is the answer inappropriate for this forum (if it directly implies the assumed inferiority of certain kinds of sexual attraction, then yes).

Synonym for fanboy. Old Abe makes him get his squeee on.

I'm pretty sure it means a heterosexual male has a non-sexual crush on another heterosexual male.
At least that's what I mean when I use it. Don't want to assume for Mooski though.
GarandMarine:
man crush is a common term amongst straight males (and certain others of my acquaintance) in the United States to jokingly indicate an attractive male (attractive by a variety of standards, be they looks, accomplishments, badassery, etc) they have a "crush" on. It's usually not so much a romantic style crush/lust and more of an "idolization" thing. For example my buddy who's an MMA fighter has a hella man crush on Anderson Silva.
MooskiNet:
Holy crap that blew up. Didn't mean to offend anyone - to be clear, valkygrrl has it most correct, at least the way I think about it. Put another way, I'd happily take six months off the end of my life for ten minutes talking with the man.
