| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 4:11:11 PM | | I would say you are metro then. Not a big deal though if my opinion matters. There are different levels of metro though. Like myself I might be metro at times and then other times not even close. | |

| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 5:45:29 PM | I had a pedicure one day about two years ago at Hair M. I have been thinking that I will do it again but I am a horrible procrastinator.
It was expensive as hell but they gave me a beer and I loved it!!! It was awesome to sit there and let someone pay attention to my feet. Haha, I would never think of myself as a metro, because I have no care for fashion and have no intention of ever trying to impress people that I don't know. But when it comes to pedicures...Move over ladies because I am going to be setting some appointments...at a place more affordable of course. | |

Yeah, but I have no vocal singing ability lol. | |

| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 7:54:03 PM | | I have to agree with Kyn. I do love a man who can cook....but the fake nails thing....that's just a little too much for me. I also love a man with a bit of hard skin on his hands. Not really interested in the kind that get facials and manicures or pedicures. I have nothing against these guys, I just would not be interested in that kind of guy. I like a more manly man. No offense intended. | |
|
| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 7:56:59 PM | yah the metro thing just is not hot, in my opinion. You want a bit of a knuckle-dragger when it comes to a dude (metaphorically speaking of course) and if a guy is getting blonde streaks in his hair and man-scaping his facial hair for hours, it's just the opposite of hotness, i cannot stress enough how NOT hot it is, honest to god the hotness is being eradicated completely, are we getting my drift ????  | |

Oh please. Those two dudes wouldn't know the difference between a wrench and a screwdriver.
Sunday I worked on my V-8 Taurus changing out the belts. My forearms are cut, I'm bruised because I had to be a contortionist and my knuckles ache because of the amount of room I had to work in. And I still have a little grease under my fingernails.
What I just described is hardly the definition of a metrosexual. Nor am I going to go out and get a manicure. That in itself would be insulting to me. | |

| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 8:11:12 PM | | Nah I like rugged manly men. A man who could cook or shop better than me just ain't my cup of tea. | |

My Taurus is only a V-6 just changed the belts, oil, and plugs in it so I know about the knuckles, forearms, and how little room you have to work in and just changed the fuel filter on my Blazer so I do know the difference between a wrench and a screwdriver. Gotta give me a little more credit then that lol

And I bet the scent of your cologne was more overpowering than the smell of burnt oil.
Just kidding.
More power to you if you can do those things and be metro or whatever you want to call it. It's not me but then again, life would be boring if we were all the same.
BTW, working on a Taurus can be a bitch. | |

| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/27/2008 10:03:16 PM | honestly... metro guys are too anal for me. they get all hurt if you muss their hair... they don't like being scratched... they hate it when you wrinkle their shirt.
thats just my opinion. tear it up as you will.
personally.. i like my men like neanderthals.... huge dumb and carrying a big stick! :p easily controllable.
JUST KIDDIN lol

Personally, I believe there's a fairly big difference between being "metrosexual" and comfortable in your own skin, and being endowed with knowledge in multiple categories.
Generally, the biggest misconception is what men can do that is masculine. The basic rundown goes:
Chest waxed- Which I do get, because I'm Italian. If I go three weeks without seeing my China girl, the collar of my shirt when I undo my tie looks like Bob Marley's dreadlocks.
Dress well- For me, that normally goes with severe coordination on my wardrobe. Which suit, which color, which hat to wear, which cuff-links, which collar bar, weight of fabric, shirt color(there's more than white/off white for business attire), shoes/boots, tie and knot, pocket square depending on the suit. There's a big difference between chic and flamboyant.
Manicures/Pedicures- I don't really see what the big deal with this is. But I can see where getting your nails polished can be a tad homosexual, it's understandable to an extent. Spas are therapeutic, after all.
Drink girly drinks- I've known a guy who was a cage fighter and drink strawberry daiquiris every Friday. However, I am a bourbon person.
Swanky home- Yes. I'd say my bachelor pad/fortress of solitude is fairly established.
I could keep going, but I've grown tired of my drunken ramblings thus far.  | |

It's so true, it's saddening. Hence why I've pushed numerous illegal parlors and prostitution ring earnings through the roof, even without the happy ending. :( | |

I don't do the girly drink thing Coor's Light, Red Stripe Beer, and shots of vodka are my sins, and have been know to three brew it at the club I regularly visit lol. I am not hairy but I do shave my chest and stomach partially do to my stomach tattoo. | |

But if I weren't full of myself, a heel, or a louse, I'd have no redeeming qualities to bring to the table when it comes to me picking up strange dames at bars.
And also, I don't want a broad. I want the majority of them. So therefore, keeping a tuft-free collar does help achieving the goal. Dr. Awesome maximizes his physical attributes to performing miracle surgeries to pump the blood back into emotionally unstable peoples hearts.  | |

| Metro Sexual Guys Posted: 5/28/2008 12:36:46 AM | I admire your well-rounded personality!
As far as being a 'metro sexual', I'm not sure your description fits the bill here. My son and all of his friends were more metro s. in their early college years. They were into a certain styling of clothes that can be shared and worn between the girls and the guys (shirts, pants, jackets, etc.) It's kind of like a non-gender style. Most of them bought their shirts from American Apparel or Armani EX, clean simple lines, not fussy or anything; and their jeans are Lucky Brand, A&F, etc. No baggy gangster wear for them! Taking care of their hair, and being more paticular about how they looked was important. I actually really liked the way they all looked. Although they've evolved a bit past that stage in their lives, they still have the simple styling carry over. I think it looks great.
And so, you can cook up a fabulous quiche? I'm there....give me a few minutes will you? | |

I do own a car with a 401 and a 4 barrel carb on top of it. And yeah, I work on it.
BTW, try working on a DOHC 32 valve V-8, it's a lot more complicated than you think. Lucky me gets to shim all 32 valves one day.
