Having a vintage bike fetish does not make you a metrosexual, it makes you an urban hipster.

I like the bike a lot, it's turning out nicely.

A metrosexual? You? If you lived in Butte, Montana, probably, but here in Portland, not even close.

They tried to bring Benotto tape back. It's not the same. Remember that sweat smell? well forget it the new stuff is missing it. Along with the thinness, and the stretchability to make it right.

If it is obvious that you "do stuff" to your eyebrows, you may or may not be a metrosexual, but aside from that, you are probably creeping out a lot of people, whether you realize it or not.

Just wrong, IMO.

Splitting wood with an axe is definitely Metro. Burly men split wood with a splitting maul.

Why would you strip your appearance of anything that would identify you as male, is beyond me.
Million dollar sissy.

Well either you scored a 0 in math, or you scored a 10 in BS.
Cause there's no way you could have scored a 0 on that "metro test".

According to Wiki: Metropolitan hetero sexual.

I have no idea why this seemingly useless phrase was coined nor why homosexuality enters into it in some people's minds - "Yeah, he's one of those homosexual, metropolitan heterosexuals; the city's crawling with them. Huh?

Well then, so living in a metropolitan area and being a flaming heterosexual, macho dude, makes me a Metrosexual. I don't like that. I think of myself much more as a Citysexual; "Metro" sounds so train-like....but then there is the imagery of the bullet train speeding into the dark tunnel...

If I was gay, would I be a Hometrosexual?

Well I think that metrosexual is a misnoma. When I see that word I think of Sex and the City. From what I interpret on this thread, sex has little to do with metrosexual. I agree with you. Whoever created this word is out to lunch. An 18 year old would likely describe it to a t especially if they lived in a large city.

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about. I use a Dewalt log splitter because the logs are about 3 feet in diameter. WTF is up with those eyebrows? And the the car is nice but I wouldn't want one.
