NO! There's nothing wrong with being able to dress yourself, groom yourself, smell good, and not be a dickhead all the time.

I always thought I'd end up with a country boy or something like that, until I met my metro now husband

[Crazymix]

[gunshow91]

[John Prophet]

[Jamie M]

No, Women like a guy who takes good care of himself and wants to look good.

[John Prophet]

uh, correct me if Im wrong...but the term "metrosexual" has connotations WAY beyond just "someone who looks good", lol

for instance lots of metrosexuals dont look good in the first place

NO! my husband had always liked to look nice. But he's honed in on the better ways to groom oneself and for that he's been "accused" of being metrosexual. Frankly, I wouldn't have him any other way.

[MarlboroMan]

yes i think so, A man should be nice and hairy, horribly groomed with even worse hygiene. If you dont smell like a fresh pile of rancid food then you cant really call yourself a man.

ROFLMAO!!! You're lucky i smoke marlboros or i'd done neggeg yo bootay.

Jk!

[John Prophet]

so let me get this straight....a guy cant look good or take care of himself without being a metro?

thats weird because I always true to stay pretty well groomed and smelling nice etc but I dont see me ever being called metro, lol


I think you guys must have a different meaning for the word than what I understand it to be

To me, a metro is someone who knows and is aware of what is in style and what suits his looks best. He is also one who keeps himself groomed well, and has a very very nice smell about him...to see him you would almost think he was teh gay, until you saw how much poontang he pulled in.

[John Prophet]

yep, definitely we have a difference of opinion on the meaning of the word, lol

[bttrthnb4]

LOL! I know around here (very southern mentality) you say metrosexual, or anything other than "he does women" and people think gay. And it's just so far from the truth.

[daviess]

[natescope]

WHOA MR NATE! DO NOT CONFUSE METRO WITH EMO! that's just wrong, man

[John Prophet]

"emoetrosexual"


thats a new one...maybe it will catch on

[bttrthnb4]

what's the difference? neither are alpha

Emo are never alpha unless to themselves. Metros may not look alpha, but my metro definately displays his alphaness in teh bed. That is the only way I know.

[hugs]

yes you should be pissed if you want to be seen as masculine...

Short Answer: it means you dress so preppy it's almost girly.


Long Answer: Metrosexual is a word describing men who have a strong concern for their aesthetic appearance, and spend a substantial amount of time and money on their images and lifestyles. Though the term has undergone a transformation from its original meaning (a heterosexual man who appeared or acted as if he were homosexual or bisexual), current trends have seen the metrosexual label placed upon male embracing of practices usually perceived to be feminine, rather than those specifically associated with stereotypically effeminate homosexuals. Debate surrounds the term's use as a theoretical signifier of gender deconstruction and its associations with consumerism. Current gender scholars view metrosexuality as representative of the embracing of relational understanding in addition to its lifestyle and aesthetic implications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual

[Celestial Wind]

so based on that long answer, would it be good or bad?

[iBswole]

i cut my nails and my jeans aren't torn - am i metro?

[Jamie M]

i cut my nails and my jeans aren't torn - am i metro?

Do you get your nails done at a salon?

[LiftingIsLife]

No. as someone else said, its NOT just what you wear, or how pretty you make youself look. its also not how BUFF you are/arent.
Its really how you act and how much importance/time you put into your personal appearance. in old fashion terms, think preppy, or effeminate man.
really has nothing to do with being well-groomed or not scruffy looking

best,
