Urban Dictionary classifies #MCM as a short term to say MAN CRUSH MONDAY while posting a picture of a good looking guy, saying he's your crush for the current Monday. They go on to say that it brightens up Monday's for all the youth around the globe! A hefty statement that one. "Brightening youth around the GLOBE". Really? Where some #MCM's have gotten a chuckle out of me (Examples: Instagrams that of TheFatJewish, Betches, and GirlWithNoJob), most get the continuous scroll - the modern day digital eye roll. Sorry betch, no "likes" here. It seems, according to the UD definition and my lack of #MCM enthusiasm, that I'm officially old. At the ripe age of 28 I have never used a #MCM. Perhaps your #MCM is my #TBT. Now there's a thought. And God knows I love a good #TBT. Whether it's from a year ago or the early 90's, I'll post it.
It appears that I post everything on social media. An Instagram also connected to Twitter. Twitter connected to a blog post. A blog post linking to my Facebook. Facebook linking to my LinkedIn. And a Snapchat because I would never post it on LinkedIn. You can literally keep in touch with me without literally keeping in touch with me. It's amazing, terrible, and my fault all at the same time. Amazing, because lets be honest, you don't want to keep in touch with everyone. Terrible, because people actually believe they know what you're up to, and my fault because I can't stop sharing.
I post almost everything. You will not see me label my current #ManCrushMonday on Instagram or on any of the above sites. You also won't know how it felt to finish my half marathon. You may know I did one, but you won't know the details in all my glory. You won't hear about the hilarious thing that happened to me today, or who came home in our Uber the other night. Those gems only come up in conversation. Such as my #MCM. Look at that kids. The old lady used it again! What if we all posted our #TBT of an old #MCM? #BreakTheInternet is trending. Go ahead ladies, throw that on there. I'm sure your ex-boyfriend would love a tagged photo and I'm sure you'd get plenty of likes, and double the views. Everyone loves a good visual disaster these days. Guys don't feel left out, Wednesdays are just around the corner. Show your love with a hashtag this season! Give her the #WCW she's been waiting for.
Me? I'd prefer a kiss. They can never go wrong with a kiss. With hearts on the eyes and man crushes on the mind... happy Monday! Smooches.
