How metrosexual are you?
A female coworker looked me up and down today and said I'm such a metrosexual. When I asked her if that was a compliment or not, she said I clean up well so she was complementing me. Usually I wear Dockers pants, a casual shirt and a sportcoat. Today I was sporting spit-shined dress shoes, a dark blue two button suit, shirt w/o tie and a haircut which apparently qualifies me for metrosexuality. I guess every girl does go crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Got any metrosexual tendencies? |

Should this thread be combined with the "I just mowed my lawn" thread?

She just told you you were vane. From your post, sounds like she is right.
 If I wore stuff like that to work, people would offer condolences, thinking I was on my way to a funeral. George |

This comes from my 22 year old daughter who has dated metrosexuals and has lived in SF for 4 years. Metro sexual is Gay looking on the outside and straight on the inside.

I had no idea what it meant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual Not sure I'd take it as a compliment though?

Somethings wrong with my Google image search. I typed in "metrosexual", but it returned 7,418 pictures of David Beckham.

Even worse than metrosexuals are these pillow biters who wear t-shirts with the gothic writing across the top or one side. Gawd, I hate them. What the hell is "Affliction" anyway? Code for "I'm a catcher?"

lol! Yep, if I weren't 45 lb overweight, I could be mistaken for a gay guy. Btw, I'm in sales so suit with no tie and doing a big sales presentation meant I was underdressed.

Metrosexuals fuss with their hair and get manicures.
Personally, I think they are mostly cowardly gays. They would love to spend a little time on the business end of a penis, but it's just too scary.

Yeah, metrosexuals get mani-pedis. Put "product" in their hair (probably several different products). They probably also have a "skin care" regimen. Basically, all of the crap that they peddle on the make-over shows these days.
I clip my nails (no filing), and I keep my nails clean (underneath). I may even remove unsightly hairs from the nose or ears if they do that "pop up overnight" thing. I'm pretty sure I'm far from metrosexual though.

I don't even own a bottle of cologne, let alone any skin care products. LOL...i don't even use hair conditioner. Never had a manicure, and i'd slap anyone that tried to give me one in the back of the head. I am 15% Metrosexual. I need some advice. I need to STOP BUYING MY CLOTHS AT WAL-MART!!!! I will never land a decent woman unless I shave this nasty facial hair, and spend more then $5 on a haircut. The text is all wrong, and frankly, i think the 15% is about 10 times too high. LOL... This is as close in life as i've ever gotten to wearing skin care products:
