Do you prefer a good martini over a sudsy draft? Get with it hipsters, you may be a metrosexual. Now, say it with us SportsNation, "ME-TRO-SEKS-YOU-UL."

The latest buzzword defines an emerging breed of modern, straight, stylish, sensitive, well-groomed guys.

Are you a guy? Do you own a full set of silverware? Do you need more than a toothbrush and Speed Stick to get ready in the morning? You are off to a good start. Take the quiz below to explore your metro-sexuality.

[El Conservador]

I failed it: 0/12

So I'm still a man (according to FR standards) or I'm a slob (according to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy standards)

I think I'll choose option #1: I'M A MAN!!!

[Peach]

You're a real man and everyone is glad. Can't believe this is on ESPN's web site - sheesh.

[StatesEnemy]

What happened to the good ol' days when the MEN would purge their ranks of these sissyboys?

[swarthyguy]

0-2 correct: You're a lost cause.
You answered 1 question correctly out of a possible 12 questions.

[yellowdoghunter]

I am sick and tired of people trying to sissify men!! It's like they are trying to turn all men into wimpy boys. I am glad to see that you failed the test. No wimpy men on FR!

[strela]

Where I come from, we call 'em "city boys".

[shaggy eel]

,,, should I sell my full set of silverware in order to retain unquestionable verification?

[jjm2111]

I got 0 out of 12. I'm a lost cause. Send me to re-education.

[sonsofliberty2000]

I'm a lost cause! Thank God...

I got 1 just because I love to read; go figure...

just because a man likes to read he's edging toward some obsure reference...

Another lost cause here, but I already knew that.


My wife tells me that all of the time.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I was honest, and scored a surprisingly low 4. (I was worried I'd do worse, but apparently my Italian sandals and patent leather formal shoes are balanced out by the hunting boots!)

I could have gotten one but I discounted my military shoes from my total shoe count. I didn't buy boondockers because I thought they were cool.

[Texican72]

I'd have been 0 for 12, but I considered Lord of the Rings an old classic.....

[jjm2111]

Ping!

[sonsofliberty2000]

I have an uncle with Rattleskin boots, hunting shoes, shoes for going to church in and shoes he uses for the water. Do those count toward metrosexual?

[N. Theknow]

A perfect Score!

0-fer 12!
