On a scale of 0-36, I got a 3! WHOO HOO! Not only am I a hetero, I reject the idea of following some Third World starvation fad.

[HitmanLV]

How about 'Metrosupials?'

[jonascord]

Hoppe's No. 9 makes me warm and fuzzy...

[Clemenza]

We're here, we're not queer, but we're close!

[diamond6]

LOL

[Clemenza]

I shop at Trader Joes. Like Whole Foods, but cheaper with not as big a selection. Does that make me a metro?

[BureaucratusMaximus]

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.

Well said.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Sounds like I am safe.

Have you tried yoga, belly-dancing, or surfing recently?

I took some classes in belly-dancing a few years back. Bought the outfit and everything. It was fun but it's not as easy as it looks. I try to do yoga a couple times a week. Yikes, I'm a metrosexual.

I am a Big TJ Shopper TOO! According to article we is Metro's!

[laney]

I am very much into Yoga! Love it! also organic vegetables and Candles! so I guess I am one of those Metro thinga ma jiggies!

[MotleyGirl70]

I like yoga for stretching. Keeps me limber.

I love candles so much I make my own. It's a hobby I picked up about four years ago.

I buy the wax, wicks and jars on the internet. It's so much cheaper making your own and they burn so much better and smell great.

You should try it sometime. I buy from here.

Homemade candles make great gifts too.

[laney]

Thanks! I will check it out..I love candles and think they make great gifts!

[EveningStar]

Hey! :)

[RockinRight]

Nope, I'm a REAL MAN.

[Petronski]

You've badly mangled the title:

Riding the Metrospiritual Wave
The growing ranks of the hip and holistic are seeking their inner bliss with serious style.




It's "metrospiritual" not "metrosexual."

[Barney59]

Another branding fad to keep the money flowing...

[Serb5150]

I bet this guy bought the Queer Eye DVD set.

[Petronski]

How about 'Metrosupials?'

Maybe 'Metrosapiens?'

You may lead a spiritual life, but your interests are more 1969 than 2005. You prefer an earthy lifestyle to the city chic way of life that metrospirituals follow. Metrospiritual values like preserving the earth and using natural or organic products are probably important to you, but you're more conservative about the way you reveal these values.
