How You Can Become a Metrosexual (ick alert)
Netscape ^ | 12/28/2003

Posted on 12/28/2003 11:27:34 PM PST by Utah Girl

There is no one hipper than a metrosexual. A who you say? A metrosexual is a straight, urban male who is eager to embrace and even show off his feminine side. That means he gets expensive haircuts, wears designer suits, and uses $40 face cream. And thanks to a certain type of male celebrity, it's now cool for a man to own 43 pairs of Bruno Magli shoes, wear moisturizer, and paint his nails. You're not born a metrosexual. You become one by learning and living by basic rules of fashion, culture, and etiquette. Some say the metrosexual is the new male ideal. (Not to put any pressure on you.) If you're at a loss as to how to do that, you can read all about it in the first-ever guidebook, "The Metrosexual Guide To Style: A Handbook For the Modern Man" by Michael Flocker.

Find out who is and who isn't a "metrosexual"--and maybe figure out if YOU are one!

Metrosexuals DO This:

Invest lots of money in nice accessories, such as watches, designer sunglasses, and money clips.
Clothes should conform to your body. Get tailored suits.
Your belt and shoes must always match. (Black on black works best.)
A silver, stainless steel watchband is a must-have.

Get it from Amazon.com: "The Metrosexual Guide To Style: A Handbook For the Modern Man"

Metrosexuals DON'T Ever Wear This:
Plaid flannel
Pirate shirts

Pleated pants
Mullets
Sport watches
High school or college class rings

Surprise! It's not money or good looks. What women want most in a man is...

With a name like that, you don't need it...

Nomex is fire-retardant clothing

But who knows, you might get flamed sometime.

Good for you. :) The men in my life just laugh when I tell them there is 40 dollar moisturizer for men.

The only way I am pay $40.00 for a moisturizer is if it comes in a 5 gallon keg.

"Gee, we alwuays used to call guys like that pussies."

Much better term. The new term implies sophistication. I don't like it.

What man in his right mind needs tons of shoes? I've given this a lot of thought, and have concluded that the optimal number of pairs of shoes a man needs is three. One pair of sneakers, for exercise, errands and sneaking. A pair of dress shoes for everything else, and a spare pair of dress shoes in case something happens to the first pair.

I too have thought about it and decided you're wrong. I need 2 pairs of sneakers. One good pair to work out in, and an old pair to wear around the house. I need a pair of engineer boots with a steel toe for motorcycle riding. 1 pair of hiking boots for the outdoors. 1 pair of dress shoes. Finally, 2 pair of cowboy boots, because it's the law in Texas.

The more uncomfortable a man is in the cosmetics department of the department stores, the better I like it. :)

Yup. I went out to dinner with my parents and sister for her birthday several weeks ago. She wanted some Clinique makeup for her present, so we headed to the store right up from the restaurant. A really swishy guy asked her if she wanted a makeover. My dad stood about 10 minutes, then left. I could just see him rolling his eyes and looking at his watch. He was sooo uncomfortable.
