On March 3, 2014, there were 39,921,259 posts uploaded to Instagram
with the hashtag, “mcm,” an abbreviation for Man Crush Monday in which users
upload pictures of their crushes, typically celebrities but occasionally
boyfriends and for the most emboldened among us a real-life crush. Its counterpart Woman Crush Wednesday
reigns equally as popular yet both distant seconds to the holy grail that is
Throwback Thursday.

I never thought much of the harmless recognition of
celebrities until I heard that Australian rapper Iggy Azalea met her current
boyfriend and Los Angeles Laker Nick Young via a Woman Crush Wednesday post. It began innocently enough on September
11, 2013 when Young tweeted, “#WCW would have to be Iggy Azalea.” A few mentions back and forth, and the
rest is history!
This got me thinking.
If Nick can do it, I can do it to.
So here’s to my newfound courage with which I confidently shout out to my
man crushes on this glorious Monday.
I’ll let you know if Cam gets back to me.
Hahahaha
