sign me up

dunno why r u guys so tremblin about metro's being gay - there is no connection between them at all coz being gay is being in love / havin sex etc with men... whats the pont to call sm1 gay for being just an up to date in fashion and stuff?...

ive got checks on all the qualifications ( except choosin the perfect wine i just dunno shit about wine... )

but nevertheless this fact i like chicks in all shapes and colors...

PS:its funny about the cookin and design things - most of the chicks i talk today just dont know shit about cookin and stuff
i mean at all - they just buy pizza and eat in restaurants... looks like the tendency is turning over finally the chicks will work and guys will stay at home nurturing the house...

YOU DONT HAVE TO BE ON THE BRINK OF GAYNESS TO BE METRO.

Oh... I know who they are! I actually picked up a british rag "Arena" by mistake - thinking it was a "Maxim"-wannabe but it turned out to be screaming with gayness, yet being too shy to call itself a gay magazine. Now, please note that I am not using gay in a negative connotation, just as a factual representation.

The style depicted in it was beyond being gay.. it was metrosexual.

way to take the fun out of it

Posted by taltul on Nov-20-2004 21:36:

here's another info if any1 still confused about the issue:

quote:
so what are you?

In case you're counting, this ain't the first label referring to guys who fall short of the beer-drinking, fart-lighting prototype. To clarify, a few others you may have heard include:

SNAG (Sensitive New Age Guy): A guy that women like to talk to like one of their own, and find attractive because they can. Refers more to sensitivity, without the narcissism and preening associated with metrosexuality.

Renaissance Man: An older term referring to the early modern era, when ancient scientific and artistic knowledge was revisited in a flurry of creation. Refers to a well-rounded, sophisticated, worldly individual with interests in many areas and expertise in several. Think of artist-engineer Leonardo da Vinci.

As any donut shop drive-thru clerk, bowling pin monkey, or anyone else occupying a highly technical field knows, you should leave the tough, dangerous work to the professionals. That is where I, your trained, vigilant lexicographer comes in, fellow struggler, to guide you through the maze that is 21st century English.

Metrosexual is quite a capacious term. Others you may not have heard seem to zero in on one or a few aspects of the male persona. Here are a few other terms you might want to add to your growing lexicon:

Primp: A very well groomed guy who always has women around, but never seems to go for any one in particular. Behind his back, people speculate about his sexuality. More of a "straight gay guy" than a "gay straight guy," to use Sex and the City terminology.

Martha Studly: The guy who has a set of variously sized throw pillows that not only match each other, complement the living room upholstery and decor concept (that's right, concept!), but accent the next room's assemblage as well. Hey, if it impresses the ladies, then "that's a good thing."

Skexual: A male or female whose sexuality -- and sometimes even sex -- is so impossible to determine that s/he just seems sketchy from the get-go. Think "Pat" from Saturday Night Live.

Metros- Be sure take into account anyone that responded seriously in the facial hair appreciation thread as one of your own.

" Metrosexual alliance = Gay Guy alliance ??? "

there was a "metrosexual alliance" sig with those nice 'rainbow' colors in it...

yeah, i file my nails, soak my feet, wear trendy clothes, am in touch with my feminine side, but you'll NEVER see anything rainbowy next to me... unless its my friend Michael

but that's a different story.

>JM<

edit** after reading Metrosexual qualifications, i am suprised i fit into every one of those categories...

eh oh well... i still dont think of myself as a metrosexual - just me. and i'm doing good.

Weren't you born in Europe? If so, you're a meteosexual by default.
