It’s summer time, and love’s in the air.
The whole thing started when RevancheGS and I were chatting, and I (somehow having momentarily regressed to 8th grade), asked her who her male PF Blog Crush is. And I thought it’d be funny to ask that question to, well, other people.
The “rules” are such:
1. Your PF Blog Crush can be any personal finance blog written by a member opposite sex (or, a member of the sex you are attracted to in real life).
2. Add a couple sentences (or more, if you really can’t hold back) on why you find that particular blog / blogger attractive. I.e.,Ā “The way he budgets just makes my knees go weak!” Or, “She sounds so exciting when she talks about the deal she got at the tire store.”
3. It doesn’t matter if that blogger is attached (it’s all just fun. No homewrecking on this blog, promise!).
4. You can be a blogger or a reader. You can comment anonymously if you’re shy.
5. Please send this to your friends / tweet (please use shortened url at moourl.com/blogcrush) – the more people who chimes in, the more fun it’ll be.
Next week, I’ll do a little summary post on all the crushin’ going on in the PF blogosphere.
And…. let the commenting begin! š
How am I the first commenter??? Okay, I have a LOT of girl PF crushes, but since you say the sex I am attracted to in real life, I would have to say that I have new PF blog crush….*blushes*
Punch Debt In The Face! His silly drawings make me giggle like a schoolgirl.
Girl Blog Crushes: My Open Wallet, GMBMFB, Well-Heeled, Stacking Pennies, My Pretty Pennies….I could go on and on! š
Fun!!
Oh, I hope someone has a blog crush on me.
Real life dating has been kind of eh… maybe I need to give a blog crush or two a shot.
My blog crush is BudgetsAreSexy. He seems like a cool guy in real life. Yes, he’s married but I bet he’d be fun to look at!
Hah! This is your most brilliant piece yet…
I’m going to say my of blog crushes are a three way (ow ow!) tie between You, Shoppaholly & Money Mate Kate.
Wellheeled – it’s those bright red heels.
Shoppaholly – British AND star tattoos š
Money Mate Kate – she’s a masseuse!
Thanks dude! Way to cheer a girl up on a (slightly) hungover Thursday morning (I have today off work, don’t judge me!)
My guy crush would definitely be J Money! It’s all the talk about love and treating your lady right that other finance blogs never seem to mention. His wife is one lucky lady!! Although I still want to see those hard-won wedding pics!
I must admit, I have a teensy blog crush on BudgetsAreSexy/J. Money. [blushes]
He definitely sounds like a fun person to hang around….besides, with a blog name like “Budgets are sexy”, how can us girls NOT have a crush on him! Sounds like a keeper!
I looked to my reader to figure out who my favorite pf bloggers were, and I realized I read more girl blogs than boys. But since we’re posting about “crushes” I guess mine is tied between ChristianPF and BudgetsAreSexy.
They’re both informative and helpful, and I just can’t stop reading!
The girls I read religiously are GMBMFB, Money Maus, and you!
Oh, so fun! I love it!
I have to agree with Carrie & QLGirl: It’s a tie between Debt Ninja & J. Money.
I don’t have a guy PF crush, because there just aren’t that many out there! And the one guy PFer that I thought I’d get along with the best, well he doesn’t blog anymore. Guess it wasn’t meant to be! š
As for girls, I totally heart Stacking Pennies, Frugal Dreamer, Carrie on the Cheap, Candie, and Ginger Corsair. š
Awesome idea. I totally have a stalker crush on My Pretty Pennies.
If I was comfortable enough to admit a man crush it would have to be on Mr. J Money.
This is my first time to your blog, and I’m thinking I might have to start stalking you as well…in a totally creepy I want to wear your skin kind of a way š
I kind of have a blog crush on Debt Nina at Punch Debt in the Face… he makes me laugh and has some pretty fantastic artistic talent.
And I have a girl blog crush on Fabulously Broke… she always has something interesting to say and has some pretty cool shared stuff on google reader. And Well Heeled, you’re not too bad yourself š
I have a definite girl-crush on squawkfox. She’s squawky, she’s foxy, she’s brilliant, she’s published, and she’s a great photographer. Plus she has those awesome melons (real fruit, of course).
And then Mr. J Money, I suppose. š He’s as cute and enthusiastic in person as he is online. He makes me want to budget and to blog. Also a lil’ crush on Jim Wang from Bargaineering for his monetization/SEO skillz.
(he’s a popular guy, eh?)
Guy Crushes: Tie! J. Money @ Budgets are Sexy & Debt Ninja @ Punch Debt in the Face because they are fun and hilarious! (Actually, I think they would be BFFs in real life & a force to be reckoned with if they did a joint blog!)
Girl Crushes: A LOT/too many!! SavingDiva, Meg @ World of Wealth, StackingPennies, Well-Heeled & asgreen @ Always the Planner.
Keep blogging, all!! š
Wow so many people lovin’ on J. Money and Debt Ninja. I love both their blogs, and they seem like great guys, but I have a total blog crush on Ramit Sethi form I Will Teach You To Be Rich.
He’s just so damn confident, and the whole best-selling author/big name blogger thing doesn’t hurt. š
I do have a lot of love for many other PF bloggers though.
I have too many girl crushes to admit, most definitely including Well-Heeled herself. š
I Twittered this earlier, but I like Julia at Bargain Babe. She’s like a frugal Lois Lane, former reporter turned full-time blogger.
I also like Squawkfox because, well, she’s a fox!
Well-Heeled has the hottest header graphic though. Nothing catches the male blogger attention like a pair of red heels!
Aww, I keep checking to see if anyone has a crush on me. Sad. š
I mostly have girl crushes too: FB, Well-Heeled, and a ton of others! š
PantsInACan is a sweetie – always has a fun angle on his experiences.
BudgetsAreSexy – manages to pull of sexy blogging without being the least bit creepy. And he picked me š
I would have a crush on “budgetsaresexy” except that he doesn’t let himself be seen.
Girl crushes are something I don’t have.
Now, who has a crush on ME??? Mr. 444 is 225 lbs. of jealousy, so let the home-wrecking begin!
:oD :oD :oD
My blog crush is Clever Dude….coz he is such a (wait for it…..) clever dude.
Girl Crushes: Totally girl crush on My Pretty Pennies and Always The Planner. I always look forward to their posts!
Guy Crushes: J. Money and Single Guy Money. Just like the girls, I check their blogs every day to see what they’ve posted. š
Frugal Bachelor ā„ š
I was going to say Frugal Bachelor too.
Girl fight!!
The winner is easily JMoney for his enthusiasm and humor and friendliness (as much as you can be on a blog?). But I think he cheated because he has “sexy” in the blog name — subliminal messages.
Ramit Sethi is also very appealing but in a completely different way. (and less so since the book came out, IMO)
a few others that are not crushes, but perhaps worth noting: I kind of wish that JD of GRS was my uncle or something. And that Frugal Bachelor was the odd guy in the next cube who was always saying something interesting or crazy or creepy (or all three).
You play too!
I’ll give you a hint – he’s not someone who’s been mentioned here before. But he’s one of the first blogs I’ve started reading…and he just seems super nice. Pure classic personal finance blog. š
[…] This post was Twitted by CarrieCheap […]
LOL. This post is hilarious. I’m too shy to reveal my blog crushes!
I have a man crush on J. Money.
I have to say the best part about this post is learning about a pantload of blogs I didn’t know were out there!
While not really a blogger, I have to say my crush would be on Trixare4kids: http://consumerist.com/5059687/reader-pays-off-14330-in-20-months-with-our-tips
I read that post two weeks before getting laid off and three months before hitting financial bottom.
Aww, thanks Lulu. I’ll have to think what blogger I have a crush on since I’ve lost track of which blogs are female or male writers (it’s not always that easy to pick up on from voice and screen name).
Fun post!
I’m with Stacking Pennies, my PF blogger crushes would be Ramit and the popular J. Money. Their post speak to me the same way I would talk with a friend about finances and I like that.
this is my 1st time checking out your website…nice =D
I will have to say I crush on Ninja and J. Money fosho!! =D
Definitely Ramit from IWTYTBR. I had a crush on him pretty much since the first time I read his blog, wayyyy back when. Too bad the only emails he sends me are the generic kind…
WOW. You’re making me blush like a little school boy over here! If I could get away with it, I’d take each of you out for a beer š Mad love to all y’all.
And for those who heart Ramit, I’ll give you another reason he’s dreamy: He just let me interview him! Looks like I have a new man crush…i mean…
I know who you are crushing on! OK I think I know at least.
