My poor Yankee works with one and nothing is more irritating than having to look at Vogue with him ! LOL

Pre-whipped, although it does not appeal to me personally, the phrase does give me a giggle~

nocinonut, LOL :)

Had a friend who could be considered a "metrosexual". Said he loved to go shopping, especially to buy designner clothes for his girlfriends, he dressed better than I did, got regular manicures, etc etc. but he was WAY too sensitive!!! If this what the "new man" is supposed to be, I think I'll remain single!! I always thought the grooming should be left to women and gay men anyway....

Imagine the bathroom cabinets of a Metrosexual and his wife/girlfriend! Fighting over who gets in front of the magnifying mirror! The amount of hair gels and sprays alone :O Yikes!

Oh my gosh! I used to date a metrosexual and I didn't even know it! He got regular facials and hair color. He bought me a St. John knit (this was 1990)for my birthday (about $800). He was an expert on beautiful clothes. Very very narcissistic. Unfortunately, though, he "changed teams" as someone said, just a year ago at age 52!

Just last week the San Antonio Express News announced the winners of their "Most Metrosexual" competition. Yes, San Antonio, Texas, the largest village in northern Mexico! If the trend has infiltrated even this hotbed of machismo, look out Omaha and the midwest...

(BTW, this all reminds me of the old joke about there being something in the air in San Francisco that keeps the women from getting preggers...)

If you order your clothes from Cabela's, are you considered a metrosexual?

I don't know, I kinda like a guy who likes......being a GUY. My husband wears baseball caps and jeans with the best of them of the weekends (but no sandals....rjw, remember our exchange re: that topic?) but he also has great fashion sense that seems to come more naturally than mine (which really ticks me off). I'd start to wonder, though, if this 6'3", 265 lb guy started to go every Sat. for a manicure, pedicure and whatever else. And no hair gels in the bathroom either (because he doesn't have much hair left!) Yeah, I prefer mine going bald, too!

puddin, sounds like my Eugene has a twin brother and you lucked out and got him. One big diff' - we're into phase two of hair replacement, and the gels are beginning to pile up. I did catch him sneaking a peek at some lipo brochure, which promised to move the fat from one place to another, of our selection. I'm giving serious thought to going halvsies on the cost.

HelenZass: I definitely lucked out with my Gary. I wouldn't want hair replacement for him though. It's very becoming on him, having very little hair. He's been told he looks like Jack Nicholson. Not a bad comparison, in my estimation.
