I prefer the expression "pretentious fop".

[OpusatFR]

I think they were called ~Dandies~ in the last centuries.

They were also great fodder for satire and comedy. Didn't Thackery write some stories about the Dandified culture?

Love it when the new generations happen upon something so old, it is new again.

It's all rather boringly familiar....!

A p*ssy by any other name is still a p*ssy!

I'll stick with calling them faggots.

I had what would now be called a "metrosexual" roommate in the early 80s.

He collected teddy bears, but only those of a particular manufacturer (and the tag HAD to be left on).

He knew the price of everything, but the value of nothing.

I suspect that a big part of his problem was due to having been abandoned by his father for a time.

The apartment itself was great, but I was ready to kill him by the end of the lease.

Australian, eh? His name's not Bruce.

I have one question for him: "Are you a poofter?"

[pogo101]

I know this writer is Aussie, but still it reminds me of the Monty Python skits involving "Upper Class Twits" and the "Ministry of Silly Walks."

[Dan from Michigan]

WEAK!

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Three poofy gits to add to your list.

[Bernard Marx]

Or as W.S. Gilbert wrote in the lyric to "Patience,"

"A most intense young man,

A soulful-eyed young man,

An ultrapoetical

Superesthetical

Out of the way young man!"

I think he had Oscar Wilde in mind when he penned it.

An older story from Australia:

Making a clean breast of fashion [Boobs for men as a fashion accessory]

Ladies beware. Some men may just be dating you for your wardrobe.

Is a thread about narcissists a vanity post? < /groan >

Here is your typical "REAL" macho man




Vs. the metrosexual males below



Now which group do I want? Ummm....no brainer. Bring on more of this metrosexual movement please!

[snowstorm12]

Guys who hate "metrosexuals" are a bunch of ugly, envious, washed up, short, old, fat, hairy disgusting unhygienic males who can't goom themselves and are extremely jealous of gorgeous, sexy, well groomed, interesting men so they attack their masculinity or call them gay. I see it all the time. Bitter men who typically go for women way out of their league so they become resentful towards hunks with personalities and develop a hate for females (especially hot and gorgeous females) and call girls like me stuck up whores because I won't "give them a chance". Metrosexuals get all the attention. They don't like the realization that society and the opposite sex considers them irrelevant much like their ugly, old, fat or dyke female counterparts. Society tells us if you aren't beautiful (esp. females) you might as well shoot yourself in the head and get it over with because you're worthless.

[George W. Bush]

Heterosodomites.

Even if they sleep with women, they have the classic attitudes of sodomites toward superficial cultural distinctions and beauty and taste. Well, such fads come and go. Once this bunch goes far enough, the females instinctively avoid them and they can't breed. Just like real sodomites.

For all the complaining on these issues, females don't want men who actually cry. They want men who act like they could cry but never do. And serious women don't want to compete with their mate on interior decoration and fashion. They want a male who isn't too dainty to take out the garbage when told to. Or better, can be trained to do it like a dog.

I read a few recent articles on the big push for the feminizing of the once-rugged Aussie male. Well, once they taken your guns, you might as well obsess over the latest fashion tips and 'dos.

What's this "metrosexual" nonsense? We already have perfectly good words for it: "fop" and "dandy".

[Revolting cat!]

Metrosexual? I don't get it! Does this have something to do with screwing in the metro?

[Dan from Michigan]

Metros...WEAK!

[Revolting cat!]

Metrosexual, first from the right.
