MCM is short for “Man Crush Monday.” It is a common hashtag that praises men for their superb performance as husbands, boyfriends, and dads.
It is also used as a tag for men who are attractive or admirable. Men may also use the tag to describe other men which they aspire to be like.
The Man Crush Monday tag came into use around 2015, but the exact date isn’t evident. It became popular on Facebook and Twitter, then sparked a multitude of blog posts, magazine articles, and other media engagements, which continue to this day.
MCM can also be the abbreviation of “Mighty Car Mods” and is the moniker for a French music television channel.
Another possible, but less likely, meaning is Mid-Century Modern. It is a futuristic, optimistic, and industrialized decorating style in the 1950s and 1960s. Think chrome, wood grains, and metals accented by oranges, mustards, and walnut greens.
Man Crush Monday is typically reserved for Mondays. However, it can be used on any day of the week.
Whenever you want to show appreciation for the man in your life, you can post his picture and include the “MCM” hashtag in the caption. You can also add “LOML” (Love of My Life).
A man may also post a picture or article about a mentor or celebrity he admires, or perhaps a man in a position he aspires to attain with the tag.
Whoever is posting the Man Crush Monday post should provide a sappy and honest description of just how much they love their man-crush and why.
It is polite for the subject of the Man Crush Monday admiration post to then reciprocate with a WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday) later in the week.
