Nope, just whipped.
Surfing?
I have been buying organic foods and candles for years! I never knew I was a YEEGADS Metrosexual!!
I guess because you are enjoying *Mother Earths* water>
Excuse me while I barf. And puke.
Yes, patronizing those quaint little indigenous cultures by paying $45 for a scarf that at least LOOKS like it was knitted in Guatemala is just, like, so totally, IN right now!!
This is the kind of pathetic garbage we get from a feminized society. In the real world this stuff is laughable.
How many of our guys fighting in Iraq "expand their minds with ancient physical practices—and do it all with serious style." How many of these so-called "Metros" could stay alive in a hostile environment?
I am sure many *farmers* would be auprised to learn that after all these years of growing organic vegetables and taking care of the land they harvest are really now *Metrosexuals*
I took the accompanying quiz and made an 8. I was rather proud of that. :)
Dang! I love "Whole Foods". Wish there was one near me.
They carry the BEST selection of beer!
My choice would be "Are You A Mental Midget?"
The Southpark episode on this topic summed up my feelings.
Having travelled throughout Asia, South America, and the Middle East (including Iraq), and speaking a few different languages, I like to think of myself as a culturally aware guy. I like jumping off the tourist circuit right away and doing my own exploring, and rarely with serious style. This has lead to some interesting conversations with other 'culturally aware types' back home.
Regarding any given culture, most Metro's seem to enjoy some rare 'indigenous food' (usually not as authenic as they think it is) and have a breezy, readers digest understanding of their spiritual beliefs. The worst are the ones that spent a few nights in a 4 star hotel, and then tell me, "Oh, I've been to China, check out my 'Hard Rock Cafe: Beijing' t-shirt".
They also seem to have the notion that other cultures as being more compassionate, sensitive, or Earth-friendly than our own. America is the only brutal and repressive country they know, and John Ashcroft is worse than any death squad commander or labor camp warden they could imagine.
Anyway, seems to me the the Metro lifestyle is based on being profoundly ignorant of anything other than what you're told by either a marketing exec, a neurotic actor, or a tour guide.
You, sir, are my hero. I couldn't have said that better myself.
Farmers raising "organic food" (is there such a thing as inorganic food?) are doing it because they can get about 3 to 4 times as much for it as commercially grown food.
I love Whole Foods for the same reason; I'm a beer snob, not a metrosexual.
Er, the article refers to metro*spirituals*, not metrosexuals. (And that's how the original article reads as well.)
No real complaints on the article.
How about if I just like the way the damn thing smells(Warm vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body Works)??? Everything else is a, "not on your life"
