No comment on this one. If you want to look primped and too spiffy - forget about that date. No real woman wants to go out with an emasculated man - er, pretend girlfriend.

Well, it's pretty clear what the "Q" in "Joq" stands for.

Women will go out with men like this. They will just cheat on them with guys like us. :)

One of the great things about living in Seattle is I am considered uber-Macho compared to the effete metrosexuals around here. Women complain, however, that I am "too intense." They do compliment me on being a "man" however.

Gee, and in Brooklyn, I was considered a p-ssy by some...

Two things. First, I realized in high school that my best friend had to be gay when I found out he shaved and waxed his legs. He said it was just for swimming, but yeah, he's as queer as a three dollar bill (even queerer: he's an outspoken Conservative).

Second: Ladies, despite what all the men's mags may imply there are some places you should not shave unless you're dating either Roman Polanski or Gary Glitter. That's all I'll say.

I love this article. Maybe there is still hope for the slightly overweight hairy 30 something guy that isn't even aware of what the hell a "weathergirl" is.

I don't get the whole metrosexual thing. All that primping, waxing and moisturizing, sounds like work. I've figured that I've earned every hair on my chest and every grey hair on my head.

Men should wax their backs and hairy arms. But most women like hairy chests, so long as it is well groomed. Bare chests look freakish on Western men.

Let's add a bit of a clue for the non-locals. Midtown Atlanta has been a mecca for the queer male set since at least the late-70s. Anyone with any knowledge of the city at all, knows that.

waxing? Gross. Give me a man with a little chest hair.

[Revolting cat!]

No way, dude! We're as manly as can be!

It's the look I aim for when I wear a suit and tie.

"Waxing makes up 35% to 40% of the business at Joq Day Spa for Men in Atlanta. 'Men are just becoming a lot more conscious of what their body looks like,' spa director Christopher Keever says."

...

The print version of this article has a giant photo of someone named Guido Amato getting a facial. No-one named Guido Amato should be getting a facial. Incidentally, the "men's salon" (isn't "men's salon" an oxymoron?) where he gets his facials is called "Wise Guys." Amato admits he's been called a metrosexual. "When I hear that word, I just think, 'a guy that likes to take care of himself.'"

Atlanta has been referred to as the San Francisco of the east. This place is as gay as a cucumber sandwich.
