Am I A Metrosexual?

I'm starting to doubt myself.

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Seriously, what is a reliable test for metrosexuality? There must be a 20 question scoring-type survey somewhere.

Why, because you didn't install a seat on your bike??

I'm pretty sure just asking that question answers your question.

If you scored from 0-27you are definitely not a metro, 28-51you have some metro tendencies and over time it will grow, 52-75 you are happily metro! welcome to the club, 76-100you are the poster-boy for metrosexuality and you even put Ryan Seacrest to shame.

I scored 23 in that test......

I am very safe. I scored a 0

I do have my hair cut by a lady "stylist" but only because she does a great job is is not expensive. One day as I arrived her previous customer was leaving. She said that guy was the ultimate metro-sexual. He gets his hair cut once a week!

My friend and his wife were visiting my house...

His wife: "Scott, do you have a Q-tip"
Me: "Sure!"
His wife:"Oh Scott... you're so metro!"

I'm metro because I clean my ears?

Scored 28. But I pay attention to fashion trends and shop certain stores as part of my job, so I think there is some dispensation. Whew!

Do you wear tight black pants? If so, hipster. Spandex, special shoes? Metrosexaul.
Sorry, in Portland with a bike like that, those are your only two options.

You live in Portland, right? Silly question. Oh, I live in Los Angeles, nevermind.

First, thank you for not posting a pic of you or any other male hominid.

Second, do you know how to use a chain saw?

I'm thinking you're close to the border between Metro and Bi. Quick grab an axe and split some wood!!

Hmm...Two tone diamond patten with Cat Eye cloth tape. Haven't seen that in years. 20 years ago I used do this wrap a good bit. (Used to work in bike shops.) Benotto cello-tape is easier to learn with. No adhesive backing and a little stretch. Looks good!
