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. :D If I wore stuff like that to work, people would offer condolences, thinking I was on my way to a funeral.

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.

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?"

cantdrv55 05-19-2009 07:56 PM

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.

Moses 05-19-2009 07:58 PM

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.

masraum 05-19-2009 08:05 PM

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've been called metrosexual here in one of my pictures while wearing camo fatigues, jungle boots and a cut off t-shirt. I don't think most people have any idea what it means.

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.

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:

Dude! If you want to have long, healthy, silky, shiny hair, you're going to need to start using the conditioner... :cool:

If you haven't lost any hair by 40, you're in good shape. My hair started going thin at 35 and at the same time hair started coming out of my ears.

GH85Carrera 05-20-2009 06:48 AM

No one will ever think of me as a fashion source metrosexual. I am lucky enough to work at a small business where the dress code for summer is shorts and any shirt with a collar. In winter we wear jeans. We don't deal with retail customers very often.

onewhippedpuppy 05-20-2009 07:22 AM

My brother in law has more clothes and shoes than my wife. Many are still new with tags on them. I'm pretty sure that he falls into the metro group. Or he's just gay.

I took the online test. 14%. What the? Just because I know what creme brulee is, and I like imported beer, that's metrosexual? Since when is Guiness Stout metrosexual. Kaliber, I could see.

I thought I was ok there too, but around 43 I started to notice some thinning. Rust never sleeps.

Exactly. And look at themselves in the mirror a lot.

That ain't me.

Of course, that online test is bogus and just for laughs. The first time I took it, I got 14%... almost everything was answered "no."

But I knew I was getting metropoints for having applied a wall treatment... I assume having applied some wallpaper on a coupla walls for my wife qualifies.

But I have removed way more wallpaper than I have applied because I think wallpaper is stupid and a waste of time... especially in bathrooms and kitchens, and there should be points off for that, but there wasn't.

So, I hit "Back" and changed that one to "No."

And that moved me down to 8%.

I assume you have to be rated higher than 50-60% before you can be legitimately considered a metrosexual.
