Author assumes that everyone is a metrosexual. I won’t buy an apple product cause I don’t wanna look like a stupid, consumerist dork.

While I think some of the Apple marketing is overhyped, I think you're really making a sweeping generalization. I think Apple appliances, like the iPod, iPad and iPhone (which are the items that are really responsible for Apple's success) are very good (if overpriced).
The iPod Touch is a really nice media device (so-so on gaming) and the iPad is a really nifty gadget. I don't value some of the features against their pricing, but I understand the appeal. Still, I could get a good laptopo for the same or lower cost and get more use out of it.
As always, I never let my purchases define me. I would not feel "metrosexual" or "consumerist" using any of them. When the iPhone 3G came out, I bought one for my wife. The only downside has been the absolutely shitty ATT network. Verizon is on the horizon (!) for Valentines Day 2011. We shall see.

"I wont buy an apple product cause I dont wanna look like a stupid, consumerist dork." Stupid is dismissing a potentially superior product because of what you might look like to others (or just yourself).
