Has to be NYC. Although you find them in pockets of LA (Westside mostly), they're counterbalanced by vast hordes of more earthy (and sometimes trailer-trashy) types. San Francisco will have them, although they are countered by the bohemian types and unemployed dot-commers crowding the coffeehouses.
I could never be a metrosexual. I cannot dredge up enough interest in my appearance to ever buy undereye concealer or bronzer.

A metrosexual is basically a straight guy who doesn't need a queer eye-- he's kinda sensitive, he dresses perfectly, is well-versed in skin care and hair care products and their use, doesn't usually know which Stooge said "Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck!", watches Lifetime-- Television for Women, etc. That is, what women consider The Perfect Guy (for about an hour, then his pretty-pretty smarminess begins to irritate them). The chic stylishness by necessity makes these grating gentlemen congregate in large cities, hence the name "metrosexual". These guys know their Barney's from their Blue Light Specials. For many women, they prove that all the testosterone doesn't make ALL of us jerks. For men, it proves that some men are becoming pre-whipped for women's approval.

Gardyloo: LOL! Certainly a wandering metrosexual would turn his artfully re-sculpted nose up at the shopping in Belmont Shore-- "Banana Republic? That's the best you can do?" he'd sneer.
Guys in Long Beach are pretty down-to-earth, and that's the way everyone likes them, it seems. Even at the chic-est restaurants, you can tell that the well-dressed men are wearing things their Special Woman picked out.

Nocinout, how very funny and true. I must really be getting out of it, I have never heard the term before. Who coined that little phrase anyhow? As if we need any more labels or stereotypes! ;-) Judy

Metrosexuals put too many false blips on my gaydar. Gets annoying.
rjw - You sure are getting close since you already know what undereye concealer and bronzer are.
GoTravel - Have you checked in with your former bf lately? From your description sounds like he might have switched teams by now.

Just came across a definition of Metrosexual on something called The Word Spy. Metrosexual- a dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself but also his urban lifestyle; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side.
