We’ve done this before, and it’s high time we do it again. Now then. I’m married, so this is purely a hypothetical exercise. That being said, I have two Doper crushes: **ZipperJJ** : she’s smart, funny, kind, and mouthy. And when I come across her pic in Arnold’s gallery my knees get weak. She posted another pic in a Halloween costume thread around here somewhere that nearly turned me into a drooling simpleton. 😉 **WhyNot** : looking at her pic in the gallery makes me just as weak as **ZJJ** ’s does. She’s also smart and sweet and all around one of my favorite posters. Let’s hear ‘em. We _are_ allowed to comment on the portrait gallery even if we aren’t in it, right? ---

Ok, I kinda like buddha-david because he is really funny and quick. I admire that. So that’s my crush. ---

Are you talking, like, romantic crush, as in, someone you’d like to kiss? Or “I really admire their posting style” crush, as in someone you’d like to read a lot more of and kinda wish others were more like them? ---

Well, in the second sense (no kissing) I have a real thing for **Der Trihs**. He says what he believes…very forcefully…but he doesn’t quibble, or play dictionary games, or lay “gotcha” traps. He doesn’t play straw-man games. He doesn’t play excluded middle games. He says what he believes. You always know exactly where you stand with him. And…between times, he can make some incredibly funny, insightful, and deep comic book references, which get me every time, as I’m a comic book geek too. I’ve had a thing for him from my earliest days lurking here. Also **Hentor the Barbarian**. I really like the cut of his jib, I do. And **CMYK**. (Oops, did I get that right?) **Half Man Half Wit** has been wonderful in advanced physics and science threads. Extremely educational. I wouldn’t kiss him, but I’d happily shake his hand. ---

I have a couple cases of DCS (Doper Crush Syndrome), but they’re mild enough that I can control them with diet and medication. ---

I have huge geek crushes on **Qadgop the Mercotan** and **Stranger on a Train**. Don’t know or care what they look like IRL. I think of \*\*WhyNot \*\*as the mom I could have had if not for mental illness. ---

I have a total crush on **Skald the Rhymer**. His knowledge, his interests, his sense of humor, and his growth as a person, both on the boards and off. I also respect that he is so very loyal to his wife. (Please don’t kill me, Mrs. Skald!) **WhyNot** is my girl crush. She reminds me of both my mom and myself, and I would just love to hang out with her and swap stories. ---

Well huh. I’m flattered, I think? I don’t think anyone has ever noticed me on this site in the forever years I’ve been here! Funny thing is, other than dress size, skin color, and proclivity for niceness, I think **WhyNot** and I are quite opposite in every way! I don’t mean that in a bad way, I think we’re just on different quadrants of the upper half of the awesome graph 🙂 For example, she probably knows how to take a compliment. Me, my first thought is I’m being punked! Since **Jodi** left, I don’t have any Doper crushes. I could give you a long list of _Dopers I’d Like To Crush_, though. Perhaps I need to start trying to notice screen names that DON’T raise my blood pressure. Oh! I’ve always liked **ultrafilter** , I guess. He’s smart and cute. And he lifts, bro. ---

If you want to call it a crush to say “I see **puddleglum** is the last to post to that thread - I gotta see what he said” I won’t argue. Regards, Shodan ---

Same answer as always - although he’s gay (and I think he’s taken?) and I’m engaged and straight, \*\*Sampiro \*\*and his tales of family & the South are part of the reason I joined up to this board. My girl crush would have to be **MeanOldLady** , of course, for posts with the perfect amount of booze and sarcasm. And now I feel duty bound to give \*\*Cicero \*\*and \*\*RealOmegaMan \*\* honourable mentions 😉 ---

> [@Trinopus](#): > > **Half Man Half Wit** has been wonderful in advanced physics and science threads. Extremely educational. I wouldn’t kiss him, ☹ That’s what it always comes down to in the end. And here I thought we had something special! (Seriously though, thanks. It’s nice to feel you’ve managed to throw some dim sliver of light on the tiny corner of the world you understand for someone who genuinely appreciates it.) As for myself, there’s a couple of folks who will almost always draw me into a thread if I see their names as last poster— **Mangetout** , and also **Frylock** come to mind. Also, I don’t think there’s been a post by **Indistinguishable** I haven’t enjoyed, and most often, learned something from. ---
