How many times do you look in the mirror?

Is that on purpose, or because you must pass the mirror on the way to the toilet. In fact, in the winter, I pick my clothes out in the dark so as not to wake my wife.

2.Can you leave the house without putting stuff in your hair?

Easy, I'm bald

3. Moisturize daily?

Only if french fry grease counts as moisturizer.

4. How many shoes?

Does that count the ones over 5 years old? if not, ONE.

5 Do you tweeze, wax, plug eyebrows?

Only if they get long enough and into my eyes. Usually cut them with a Swiss Army Knife.

6. Ever shaved back, legs etc.

I wish I could find the photo of the guy at the NASCAR race who had someone shave a large "3" in the hair on his back.

7. How much do you pay for a haircut?

See # 2. I do my own for free.

8. Top drawer consists of:

Assortment of whatever's on sale, mostly torn. Some are even not presentable if I get in an accident.

9. Last Book read.

Marine Sniper. Bio of Carlos hathcock. Before that, Clancy's new one.

10.Best way to spend Friday night.

Skiing.

Early salvation army.

Yup, a perfect failure as a metrosexual.

I was one for twelve, with designer boxer briefs being the only one I scored perfectly on. Boxer briefs are definitely the way to go.

All the rest I was sort of midway on, except for shopping. I hate shopping. I come close on the shoes, in fact I would answer correctly if I included pairs of boots (Sorels and motorcycle racing boots.)

I think participation in any sport or activity where there is risk of getting badly hurt completely disqualifies you from being a metrosexual. Metrosexuals' stated hobbies are socializing, drinking wine, viewing or creating art (their definition of it, anyway) and making hors douvers.

Real men ride motorcycles. Fast ones.

gad, where is myyyy....puuukebucket?!

9) What's the last book you picked up?

     A re-read of an old classic

X   A current best seller

     Whatever magazine was lying around the bathroom

[Salman]

There's even an analog in the military - they're known as "perfumed princes."

Now one more civilian understands the cracks about Wesley Clark.

I am currently a civilian, true. But I served for 12 years in the Navy.

Running a razor is NOT the same as tweezing by a long shot. Besides, what's the problem with a unibrow?? (And, FWIW, I'm a 'dudette'.)

[Paul Atreides]

What is strange is there are only two choices: either a guy is a sissy or a slob. I think that many men, especially conservative men, care how they look (just not to the extreme of squealing over designer shirts). The last time I looked, conservatives don't dress shabbily.

,,, quite a paradox, isn't it? We're all meant to be embracing diversity, so, in theory, labels or what we do or look like isn't important - unless, like the gays, we insist we are.

I'm taking comfort in the thought that I can't be pigeonholed as any particular category these days. My silver service set is about to be sold before the government realises I can make a profit on it's sale; my waistline is expanding as I become more familiar with poverty thru taxation and my teeth and hair are falling out from the stress of it all. Would the metrosexual set want me? Who knows? There's gotta be a market for everything in a society as accepting as some would like it to be. I suggest we all get the results of this quiz tattooed on our foreheads to make things easier for our shoppers.

[Britton J Wingfield]

I'm well groomed, but I still dress like a greaser/skinhead/lumberjack.

I do have lots of shoes: boxing shoes, running shoes, 4 pairs of steel toed boots, all my GI issue crap...

[Blue Scourge]

1/12......so I like to read classic novels.....shoot me...

[boop]

I can't win! I'm told that women hate monobrows, so yeah, I have tweezed. Women also look at men's shoes, so I always buy fine quality. I guess I'm about 50% metrosexual.

[Atlas Sneezed]

What so wrong with trimming a stray eyebrow hair, nose hair, and the like? Mrs. Beelzebubba certainly appreciates it! ;-)

(NO wax involved!)

[Yeti]

I'm not metrosexual, but I'm worried that my cat might be.

[Paul Atreides]

I've bought my own clothes since I was old enough to work. I certainly wouldn't let one of those QE weirdos pick out what I should wear. All I want is normal clothes. Nice-looking, but normal. I don't wear jeans with the wait hanging around my knees, I tuck in my button-up shirts, and I don't have a face full of piercings.

[Salman]

You misunderstood. I'm the another civilian.

[LonePalm]

I got 0 out of 12 questions correct (according to them).

I passed!

[Sandylapper]

And you thought that a male, bulldog-looking cat didn't mind being snipped and named "Cutie"...

Serves you right to worry.
