Nope, just whipped.

Surfing?

[garyhope]

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!!

...metrospirituals—the kinder, gentler post-Yuppies who want to treat the earth and native cultures with respect, connect with their inner source and inspiration, test their bodies and expand their minds with ancient physical practices—and do it all with serious style.

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?

This article seems to be dulling the 'effeminate edge' off of the word Metrosexual. A better title would be 'Are you cravenly trendy?', or perhaps 'Are you a narcissistic airhead who likes being overcharged?'

I took the accompanying quiz and made an 8. I was rather proud of that. :)

The Southpark episode on this topic summed up my feelings.

[Starter]

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.

Is there a certain aromatherapy scent that brings you comfort, especially in candle form?

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"

[Clemenza]

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

[justshutupandtakeit]

Sounds like I am safe.

[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...

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.

And what are you actually getting if you have the patience to wait on the slowly snaking line? Semi-fast food that is nutritious and delicious (the Number Six, for example, is masala-spiced potatoes with spinach, jack cheese, and tomato), served in an atmosphere heavy on the good yogic vibes. You’re getting food with a stamp of individualism and thought, an exotic staple made American and virtuous in some ineffable way.

Who eats that crap?

Last night, I had two huge New York steaks for dinner, washed down with some great Syrah. 90min later, I had a pint of SuperFudgeChunk rinsed with my nightly Laphroaig. What does that say about me? I eat simple, but I eat good.

[Dan from Michigan]

Nope.

[hattend]

Is organic beer what Yuppies call Home Brewing?

If so, then guilty as charged.

I DON'T do any of the other funky stuff though.

[layman]

Are you a Metrosexual?

No, I'm not a metrosexual, and furthermore I am against metrosexual marriage.
