Great post - what a hoot!

[NYC GOP Chick]

I just hope that the anti-metrosexual thing catches on and becomes a *hugh* trend! I am sick and tired of all the fey metrosexuals here!

LOL, very cute article. I sort of like Ben Affleck's take on it. Sounds like he's better on cultural issues than political ones.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Or he's just afraid of being thought of as 75% gay... ;)

I don't know which is worse - your NY metrosexuals or our FL streetwalkers. I've only been here a bit over a year and am stunned by the 'look' FL women (of all ages) strive for. It can only be described as cheap-n-easy chic. Lots of make-up, skirts to the buttline, earrings the size of soupcan lids, and pottymouths. I can only assume they are all trying out for the cheerleading squad of the Miami Heat.

Well, they do tend to dress a lot alike and wear the same makeup, don't they? ;)

NYC GOP Chick - LOL...true, true.

HLL - you don't wanna miss this article!

Man, he looks like a retarded pansy!

And my apologies to retarded pansies!

Give me a real man, like the guy in my tag line. Kicks (butt), smiles while doing it, and dresses better than any metro-whatever.

Metros are doomed to the same black-hole as disco suits. Come to think of it, wasn't disco, big fuzzy hair, loud ties and platform shoes just an earlier version of it?

Real men care nothing for such crap.

....hey girls, do what I did, get yourself an Italian! They dress nice, stay clean, spend money and yet have a ruff and tumble way about them. They act tough, but, are really big pussy cats. Think Sopranos!!!!!!

No sympathy whatsoever. As Rat voters and feminists they did away with "real men" and insisted on "men without chests." You get what you deserve.

"I can't stand metrosexuals!" cries 23-year-old saleswoman Lauren Levin, who has written "metrosexuals need not apply" on her friendster.com profile. "I want to get manicures with my girlfriends, not my boyfriend."

Then STOP voting Democrat!!!

For the record: Vorgias' date thinks metrosexual men are "overcompensating for something, like personality deficits, or size."

I had a Metrosexual rommmate back in the mid-80s -- before the term existed.

He knew the price of everything, and the value of nothing. GQ was his Bible. He collected teddy bears. TEDDY BEARS.

IMHO, the source of this guy's problems was lack of a father figure.

If she wants a guy with dirty broken fingernails, no shave, and overalls, she should go to a country bar in Nebraska.

As far as Yoga - since when did someone think yoga was a female persuit?

"I was actually out on a date with a guy who asked, 'Who designed your pants?' Shouldn't he just be happy that I look good in my pants?""

If he were a real man, he'd be wondering what she looked like without her pants.

I think Retro-sexuals (women who love manly men) are beginning to stand up and say, "ENOUGH!"

Exactly. A grand case of "Oh S***!! You did exactly what I demanded of you!" They made their bedmates, now they can sleep with them. :^)

I LOVE Italian men!! Got any spares hanging around?

Who is the idiot poster on this forum who insists Ronald Reagan was a Metrosexual...
