I have a real crush on Rachel Maddow.

[Bicoastal]

I mean, I actually do find her quite attractive and would probably ask her for a date if I knew her personally and she was single.

But I'm a straight dude! What the hell? :(

[LeftyMom]

1. Can't blame you, she's smart and very attractive.

[Pale Blue Dot]

2. My plan is to get my wife to hit on her,

and then keep my fingers crossed. :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

3. What's confusing about that?

She's hot and super-smart. What's not to dig?

[LuckyTheDog]

22. I agree

There is another universe in which I am single and Maddow is not a lesbian. In that universe, we're totally an item.

[Radical Activist]

4. Yeah, me too.

It wouldn't be my first crush on a woman who has no interest in men. That happens when you hang out with a lot of left wing radical feminist activist types. Sometimes they turn out to be bi, but I don't think that's the case with Maddow.

[ulysses]

8. mine either.

Charter members of the "Wrong Tree Woeful Men's Association". :)

[Beer Snob-50]

5. she is attractive and intellignet

a home run anyway you look at it.

[Auggie]

15. Can't beat that

[old mark]

6. I think she's great.

Watching her show, I often feel like it would be interesting to talk with her personally for a while, and she has a good sense of humor.
Anyone know what her partner is like?

[billyskank]

7. Me too. I like her smiling eyes when she laughs.

[Mike 03]

9. I have a crush on her too. But she would never date me for the

same reason. But I feel your pain.

I also have a huge crush on Ellen Degeneres.

[ulysses]

10. I had a Melissa Etheridge "thing" in the 90s.

I've long since come to terms with this aspect of myself. :D

[Mike 03]

11. This topic brings up a real good question, which I'm too chicken to ask, but I wonder if

lesbian women are flattered at all when heterosexual men have crushes on them. I would imagine they could care less, but I have no idea.

I imagine our love is unrequited love.

[billyskank]

14. Depends on the woman.

Some women will be flattered. Some won't give a shit. Just like hetero women.

[lightningandsnow]

17. I get flattered, as long as the guy is nice and not being creepy.

That being said, I'm like, a Kinsey 4.5-4.8, but with practically no interest in straight guys, so there's a little wiggle room in there.

Creepy guys, though? DO NOT WANT.

[Maraya1969]

21. I can tell you as a bi-sexual woman that when I was only involved with

woman and told everyone I was gay I got a lot of male attention. It almost seemed as if my sexuality turned men on. And of course I would hear the "one night with me and you'd go straight" bullshit.

I have a crush on Rachel too. If there were a chance in Hell I'd go for her.

[mcctatas]

12. Me too!

She could seriously make me consider playing for "the other team" as my gay friends call us hetero's ;)

[elshiva]

16. Please go lesbian, please.

:loveya: :hug: ;)

[SallyMander]

13. She's mine! Back off.

x(



:D

[elshiva]

18. I love butch women, but I am a bisexual woman.

So, not much of a surprise here. :loveya:

[Lindsey]

19. I'm a lesbian and every lesbian I know thinks she's as hot as they

come - whether they're turned on to butch or fems. Rachel is as cute as it gets and the smarts are SUCH a turn on. Her partner's name is Susan, she's an artist and an accountant. They met several years ago when Rachel was trying to earn extra money and doing gardening for Susan (I think somewhere on the East Coast). Rachel has her PhD in Political Science from Oxford (I believe) and she's an Aries.

[elshiva]

20. Thank you, Lindsey.

:hug: :loveya: I love intelligent women. :)

[ashling]

23. You've obviously done your homework!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Rachel and Susan met in the Northampton MA area and they live

in Cummington MA. Out in the sticks. :)

[SeattleGirl]

24. Oh, same here!

We are both partnered up, and I'm straight, but dang! She's attractive, she's funny, and best of all, she's smart as hell!

[lutefisk]

25. Rachel in her younger days (21):

[billyskank]

31. I see she changed her look for the TV

I hope she didn't mind, although I have to admit I prefer her more girlish look. But that's just me. :)

[bridgit]

26. Watching her facial expressions, she reminds me of hubby's youngest daughter...

Also a progressive, uber-smart woman. Intelligence & striking features are attractive

[Robeson]

27. I think she's cute as a button...

...many people do! :-)

[orleans]

28. everybody loves rachel. n/t

[peruban]

29. Good lord, what hetero male doesn't?

I would have her babies.

[Lex]

32. I have a het guy friend who says Rachel is a LILF.
