Metrosexuals may have had their 15 minutes of fame. The cultural pendulum is swinging back to manly men.
Aaron Swan is a guy's guy.

No, he simply cuts it himself w/ an electric hair trimmer.
Only because he mugged Chuck Norris for them.
Chuck Norris let Jack Bauer think that! LOL
Hmm... maybe we're both barking up the wrong tree... perhaps Jack Bauer is Chuck Norris in disguise.
If I recall correctly, both Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris are disciples of Mr Miyagi...
