Metrosexual males

Dude, what the hell?

I can be tolerant and have my own opinions on the ridiculousness of men who spend WAY too much of their time looking at themselves in the mirror.

 

well you just seem really angry about it is all i'm saying
sorry, wasn't trying to start anything

 

Angry, nothing.

I have a strong opinion, but in all honesty hey if you wanna slather yourself with Oil of Olay and go to sleep with cucumbers on each eye, er, more power to ya.

 

I think we all have a different idea of what metrosexual means.
We each have a general idea, but we all have different images in our head.

It should have meant ONLY a guy that is starting to recover from the anti-gay and homophobia that hit after the seventies. I wish it didn't mean some guy that goes overboard with everything. Plus I don't like the word. What is up with metro, and sexual? Those are not good words to choose for this.

One thing is for sure. I don't like the current state of clothes for men.
The basic idea of the clothes styles is good, it is just cut wrong.
Partially because I'm thin and small and the loose michael jordon look was not made for my body.

And as I continue to gain muscle, none of it is on my hip bones.
So I will probably always have a 28 waist no matter how much muscle I get.

Not so. Metrosexual refers to guys in the closet who dress like, eat like, drink like, decorate their houses like, etc. homosexual men and who live in urban centers, but who haven't got around to admitting it to themselves.

As for hips, what's your weight regimen like? Do wide stance squats, good mornings, etc.

 

I assume you are joking because metrosexual never refers to actual gay guys.
It specifically refers to guys that aren't gay.

The word got started because straight guys started dressing like what what some people thought a gay guy must dress like.
The whole "problem" was then, if gay guys still dress like metrosexuals how can you tell the difference between a metrosexual and a gay guy. But at the same time it doesn't mean gay guys dress metrosexual either.

Nobody needs to wear certain clothes just to say they are gay or not gay.

If you didn't know this then you are way off on what metrosexual means.

 

It specifically refers to guys who won't admit they're gay. Dude, if you're admiring some guy's abs in "Martini Monthly" doesn't that imply that somewhere deep down you'd really like to go on a vacation with him to Cozumel?

Well, yeah. It was annoying gay guys to find out that they thought they had a bead on their next bedhead notch and he turns out to still not be admitting it to himself yet.

I dunno, and that's why I'm not down with this metrosexual stuff. It contravenes the Trades Descriptions Act if you ask me. If you're gonna dress like one, it should be cause you are one.

 

IronGoth, you should have your own radioshow or something.. some of your opinions and musings on metrosexuals had me laughing so hard I snorted.

Personally I think the whole thing is kind of lame too, but that's just because I tend to associate metrosexuals with being highly superficial and shallow. But I'm sure not all of them are, so I apologize if that offended anyone.

I think there's a lot more important things to worry about than how I smell or how my jeans make my butt look (I'm a skinny white dude, who am I kidding, I don't even have a butt) -- but hell, to each their own

Whatever floats your goat,
Goo

 

Well, exactly.

I mean, honestly, do whatever you want to.... but I mean, damn.

 

No, I think what he means is a clean collared polo shirt (very sexy), and a belt, stylish jeans (also sexy) and clean shoes. I know it seems radical but its what the girls want so this guy is probably more likely to score girls than you even though he is skinny because he actually gives a shit what they think.
Too bad for you, huh.

 

Whoa.......are you sure you're not KKK?
This sounds like a very regimented plan to keep yourself from being left behind. 'Win the War?!!' Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Oh my god.

 

Did you notice that it's quoted from someone else, or were you so intent on making some sarcastic remark you read over that part?

 

Dude, you're on a hippie website. Polo shirts, european cut jeans and clean shoes aren't de rigeur here.

 

I don't know about metrosexuals, but for me I don't really like the preppy look. I just want clothes that fit me well, shape and size.

I'm skinny, but In many ways I've got good muscles, but I've got a long way to go because I'm so thin.

The thing is for me. If I wear your standard untucked straight tshirt with with sleaves down to the elbow or length down to my crotch my arms look really thin and I look super small with it hanging down. But if it is smaller or tapered or I tuck it in it doesn't look so big on me and I start to take shape.

Same for most clothes I want a thinner selection with smaller sizes.
I hate how they make XL, XXL, XXXL sizes for obese people but no XS and XXS for me who works hard. I need a waist that is really 28 inches too.

I'm thin, but I still have muscle, but I have to wear a shirt that fits in order for anyone to know because if I don't I look even worse.

Here is a picture I took last year. You can can get an idea of my body type and maybe understand where I'm coming from on this.

 

Dude, go for the Goth look. The largest in men's pants in that world is 28.

 

right on

 

damn dude
you got like...an 8 pack
nice nipples

 

So, you're admiring his pectorals and abs.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you see, that's the kind of stuff that metrosexual types obsess over.

As for me, I'm like "sod what you look like, gain weight and strength".

 

are you kidding?! His tummy/chest is very very lickable in that pic. Then again, I kinda like the skinny-ish guys

 

Er, im, you do realise I'm a heterosexual male.

I have no interest in how "lickable" he is.

And eventually the flower of youth leads to a spare tire and a few missing hairs up top. Might as well build functional and useful strength now while you can.
