Metrosexual males

Not a gold digger.........sigh. Just a woman that knows what she wants. I am not asking for diamonds, pearls, or anything of that nature. Just a nice evening out when time allows. Nothing wrong with that. I appreciate a nice looking, smelling, dressing man. No harm, no foul. This just happens to be more attractive to me then the grunge look.......To each his own. I person that can dress way up and look good and feel comfortable, or dress to suit any occassion with no worries.

 

"A woman that knows what she wants"

There's a sentence you can't invert..... imagine me saying

"I like a pretty, stacked girl who appreciates cleaning the house. No harm, no foul. I'm a gentleman and prefer to be treated that way. The beer should be cold when it's placed in my hand..."

 

one point that may have gone overlooked is that metrosexuals (I think) enjoy dressing well and going out to the nice restaurants (I don't know whether lauralene means he pays everytime...)

 

And paying.

Only problem with this is 99.9% want to go with a mirror, or another guy.

 

I guess I'd consider myself one, in a sense.

I like to dress nice, I keep my place very organized, I'm a bit of a neat freak, I have long hair(getting there anyway) and I'm very particular about grooming it. I keep my eyebrows trimmed(which i've been told is very metro).

But I'm not metro as far as to the point of getting manicures all the time, and spending lots of money on facial creams, etc.

 

Don't have to be a metrowhatever to enjoy that every now n then esp if the charge card stays at Home...

 

Wow, way to do the ol' switch-a-roo. To the one person that said I may not expect a man to pay everytime is totally accurate. My guy and I have been together for ten years and I frequently have paid or we combined the expense depending on the price range of the resturant. Also I don't think that asking or wanting someone to dress and smell great has any bearing on intelligence - To whoever made that comment. You have idiots in all fashion realms. You have homeless people who may converse with you in a way that no one else can. You also have people who dress nicely and have a taste for nicer things that offer up something in their convo's. Bottom line, regardless of the class level, all people have something to offer. Whether it is a lesson learned or insight into something you may never have seen. Wahhhhhlaaaaah.

 

My opinion of a metro has nothing to do with manicures and such, Although I like clean nails, but if a person showers and bathes that should not be a issue, unless of course they are a mechanic. If a person has a uni-brow or extremely bushy eyebrows, why not tame those critters. I concur! I just wish my boyfriend were a clean freak. He is great about organizing his closet, but that's it.....

 

well this is fun

 

I remember reading on some metro sites about how some day they'll finally bring themselves to "go all the way" and try being gay.

Dude, if you're sitting there waxing your chest, you might want to consider you're practically there.

 

Ok, here is how it is.

The word metrosexual is a negative word. I hate it.
But men should be heading in that direction. NO DOUBT.
I hate baggy clothes, they make me look smaller, too thin and in worse shape.
Guys with a lot of weight might not have that problem, but hey they want to hide their body's form.

If you ask a woman if she likes metrosexual, a TRUE metrosexual I think she will say no. Basically metrosexual sets the WRONG image. It sets the image of men going overboard with fashion and being unmasculine for that reason. Which is exactly the problem men already couldn't get over and were forced to constrain themselves to baggy clothes.

The problem is that guys of most shapes have a disadvantage because of homophobia and because some very appropriate looks were advertised as homosexual some years ago.
Now effectively the men can't wear certain things because they will now be thought of as homosexual or metrosexual. And often they can't buy it if they want to.

Really all we want is to wear clothes that are best for our bodies.
That is seperate from the entire metrosexual thing which is fashion and life on many other levels.

Men that aren't overweight should be wearing "tight" pants (comfortable), shirts because without them many men loose their shape and look worse especially if they don't have giant muscles. I'm thin, when I wear a big, loose t-shirt is makes me look ultra small and skiny because you can't tell where my body starts. When I wear a tight shirt I look half decent or good because I'm gaining muscles and it creates the shape of a man's body that I don't get with a straight loose t-shirt because I'm thin. Fat guys do what you want but don't make the thin or althletic or other suffer. And guys that are in super great shape need tight clothes just as much.

Women, encourage men to wear clothes that are tight fitting while comfortable. After that men could use some more selection, but hey that is the next step. And as far as the metrosexual thing goes, the image is a failure because it includes so many other things.

We need to approach this logically.

Fact: I would HAVE to buy jeans "labled" for women to get a waist that doesn't require a belt to stop them from almost falling off me. Currenlty I wear a belt. In addition I want the style to be for men to wear jeans as tight as women. After all any sex that wears tight clothes will look MORE like their sex. I'm not just talking about the groin area .

Back me up here men, women.
Thank You.

 

Yeah, well...I guess I could say my boyfriends a bit 'metro' but if he was wearing an outfit that clashed I'd for sure tell him before he walked out the door!! I like him to tell me what looks good on me and therefore I have to do him that favour back. Guys that don't care about how they look come across to me as being really unconfident (is that a word?) and THAT is the biggest turnoff.

In saying that I like a bit of stubble that he can graze over my neck :X

 

the whole idea is just perverse language employed by popular culture to affect change in the market for male appearance and cosmetics.

 

Oh, this should be good.

Say what? No way. The fashion industry, which is full of mentally unstable fairies, (and I use that term NOT to mean gay, but, well, you know) - has been trying for years to get men to embrace hair care products, skin care products, makeup, sarongs, skirts, etc. Men should be men. We should be so busy lifting weights, conquering territory and figuring out where to store the toxic waste that we have time enough for dental hygiene, shaving and combing our hair, no more. There is no way on God's Green Earth you will EVER find me in a terrycloth bathrobe in a spa drinking a wheatgrass shot while exfoliating.

Or maybe ya need room to move.

So why do you think we should all go pseudo-gay then?

Like what? Lime green leather pants? A 1/4" bleach blonde buzz cut with a Tintin-like quiff at the front, which screams GAY as loud as k.d. lang's hair screams "lesbian"?

I promise, as someone carrying about 20lb at least too many, you can wear those skin tight snakeskin looking jeans while carrying a purse. I won't laugh. Honest.

Such as?

Since when is fashion logical? The set that wants me walking around in a jewelled sarong after a buttermilk and kumquat facial are the kind of people who think a dress made out of strips of 8-track tape with a gigantic headdress resembling the petals of a sunflower made out of rusting metal is haute couture, and expect the tens of thousands of dollar price for same. Now, their operating expenses are high, it takes a LOT of cash to find emaciated heroin addicts down at the worm clinic... but still. These are not people who are gonna dictate what I wear. I will wear what I like, thanks, I am a human being, not a male model nor in a Peter Gabriel video.

Or you could just hit the weights and gain weight. Right?

No way, man. What you need is the Super Squats routine, fast. Unless you have a blood disorder you need to put on about 50 lb.

 

i completely agree. i want to be the girl in the relationship.

 

liveoffthefloor - don't worry, metrosexuals aren't looking for relationships with women.

 

Allow me to quote Jim Wendler of elitefts.com

As I sit here at my computer, I am battling a certain EliteFTS employee on his desire to become a Metro-sexual. Yes, the current trend of being an androgynous male has invaded the holy ground of the Compound and it is my job, nay my civic and Holy duty, to prevent this at all costs.

With this disturbing trend hitting the manliest of places, I can only wonder what is going in areas unbeknownst to my senses. Those of you that lift in commercial gyms are probably overrun with these types. So in an effort to help win the war, I’ve come up with a buyer’s guide as well as some helpful suggestions to bring back The Man.

Neck Harness – If you find more than one pair of dress shoes in your friend’s wardrobe, then you need to get him one of these. I don’t care if you weigh 150lbs, if you’ve got a big neck, everyone will think you’re cool. It’s pretty simple, too. Strap some weight to the thing, do a couple of sets everyday and you will have a huge neck.

If you think I’m bullshitting you, do the following. Next time you are at the grocery store, check out the kid that’s bagging your groceries. He’s probably got a few dozen whiteheads and six pubes. Now if that same kid, even with the smock and multi-colored name tag, had a thick neck you’d think twice about asking for double paper instead of good ol’ reliable plastic. As a side note, don’t be that ass that asks for paper instead of plastic. You are slowing everyone down and we hate you. It’s not like you just bought a block of gold; you bought Tuna Helper and some pears.

Here’s the Neck Harness:

Flannel Shirt – Nothing says out-of-style or “Man” like a flannel. I dare you to try to make it fashionable. Go ahead and tuck it in. Or put a suit coat over it. Maybe a tie? It’s a damn flannel and no matter what you do to it, that’s what it will always be. It’s kind of like trying to dress up a dog turd. No matter what you do, it’s still a turd. So if you catch any of your friends actually enjoying “Sex in the City” go buy them a flannel shirt.

Go to JC Penny for the latest filthy flannels.

Carhartt Jacket – Nothing says “ass-kicker” like a Carhartt jacket. Sure you can go with Dickies or maybe a motorcycle-style leather jacket, but we all know that Carhartt rules supreme. If you find your friend purposely buying a car instead of a truck (i.e. he has the money, but not the desire), than get him one of these.

Copenhagen/Kodiak – I don’t know if I’m going to step in muddy water here, but at this point, all you tight ass lawyer-types can kiss my ass. Yes, it’s not good for you. Yes, it can cause cancer. But what about the cancer that is metro-sexuality? What about the decline of testosterone in America today? I love my Kodiak, but will always view Copenhagen as a suitable alternative. Those wishing to debate this topic can save their breath. If you are going to fight me about how great Cope is, I don’t want to hear it. Mostly because that would make you a consumer of Copenhagen and thus your breath is akin to a week old bratwurst sitting in a dirty ashtray.

Can be found anywhere Corn Nuts are sold.

Levi’s – If I’m in the market for a new pair of jeans, it’s always a real headache trying to find my way through the various designer denim displays (is there such a thing?) and get to the Levi’s section. Now, my only complaint with Levi’s is that they gotten a bit mainstream with their fashion, but I know it’s only a ploy. Here’s how it works. In order for them to still make their old jeans, the way God intended them to be, they have to cater to the masses. They take the money from the “confirmed-bachelor” funds to help keep their ManJeans line full operational. I do NOT want to hear the crap of “Well, my thighs are so big, but my waist is so small so I have to custom buy my jeans from Austria.” Or some other kind of logic that allows you to sleep at night despite knowing that some dirty Euro has had his fingers all of your ass-pockets and probably wore some kind of beret while sewing his precious stitches. If you truly have this problem, than start eating more and do some weighted sit-ups. Sure girls dig Brad Pitt, but it’s not because of his body. It’s because the son of a bitch has money and had some initiative in his life to be successful.

Mexico – This option is a last ditch effort to stop your friend from referring to drapes/curtains as “window treatments”. If you’ve tried all of the above and he still feels as if the Ford Focus is a viable transportation option, then have a sit down with every one of his friends and start gathering money. Find a cheap flight and one-year lodging in a cheap hotel or apartment in a border town in Mexico. Good choices would include Nogales or Tijuana. Have him pack all the essentials (power belt, squat suit/briefs, bench shirts, some shirts and shorts) and a copy of the book Anabolics 2004. Give him a stern lecture about his plummeting testosterone levels and instill the philosophy, “When in Rome…” This should be done in case he has any legal hesitations. Slap him on his atrophied upper back and send him on his way. Demand 25lbs. of muscle when you see him next. Monthly visits should occur to check progress and alleviate unexpected scar tissue. I haven’t come out and said “it” but I think we all know what SHOULD happen. While visiting, see if you can find the mythic “Donkey Girl” that everyone talks about yet nobody sees. Those that have heard the stories, let the uninitiated in on the perverted act that is the Donkey Girl.

Check your local travel agent for more details.

So if you have a friend, relative or lifting partner that has been caught in the estrogen-web of Metro-sexuality, take the above steps to thwart this god-awful phenomenon. If you are successful treat yourself to a “Me-Day” by sleeping until noon, eating two or three pizzas and going to the local flesh parade.

 

why don't you just let people be people guy?
why are you so aggressive about this?
jesus

 

People can do what they like, but let's be honest about metro's here.
They're not exactly looking for women.

Either they're buried as firmly in the closet as their Manolo Blanicks (sp?) or they just don't wanna give up the medicine cabinet space, cause their skin care regimen is as complicated as any woman's.

 

so?
how does that harm you?
all i'm saying is that you're being very aggressive about this
and i just find this unnecessary
there's something called "tolerance"
try assimilating it to your lifestyle
:H
