AAAAARGH! Not Victor Kiam!

Wait until urban areas start to stripe parking meters for these sized cars ONLY.

I understand why old world European countries use they cars, there is no room on their narrow streets and gas taxes are unrealisticly high. It also goes to show why many Europeans don't love their cars like Americans do.

Please guys... don't. Men should be large and harry. They look great in flannel and worn jeans. Hair can be long, but not longer than mine. Hands should be rough and nails should be short. They should own three pairs of shoes; one dress pair (which are never worn), old boots and tennis shoes. Sun screen is acceptable, as well as chap stick.

Thank Heaven for real men!

[Rytwyng]

If we were to fight the civil war today...something tells me that the uncouth rednecks would kick a@@ and take names

Not names. Scalps.

[Rytwyng]

Sun screen is acceptable

Not on the neck.

metrosexual= ridiculous men who try and act like women

[longtermmemmory]

The USA will NEVER have the roads of europe. I have been there. The roads are centries old. the bidirectional one lane roads were originally intended for donkeys and carts. With rare exception, even their highways are limited. The USA has no such history.

James Bond is NOT a metrosexual. A metrosexual is a comedic joke. Insecurity driven to the delusion that the right haircolor will fulfill inner turmoil.

James Bond would NEVER use maxim haircolor products or Axe body spray. (if you need axe spray you should be taking a shower)

This metrosexual, (i have only seen the phrase here BTW) is driven by insecurity, James Bond is anything but insecure. FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANT, both are fictional.

Tried it, did not like it. I like the twin which uses the exact same blade manufacture system. The key is how they make the blades, not the fact that there are three.

"I don't think Joe Sixpack is gonna embrace the metrosexual lifestyle for one important reason: he doesn't make a metrosexual salary."

Well, Joe, is he right?

[NewsJunqui]

I believe Karru is a Finnish name.

[FreedomPoster]

Now *that* should be the poster child for a metrosexual's car. Not a Cooper Mini, which has redeeming characteristics.

[Long Cut]

"Some women seem to buy it. Alycia Oaklander, a 29-year-old fashion publicist from Manhattan, fell for John Kilpatrick, a Washington Redskins season ticket holder who loves Budweiser and grilling hot dogs, in part because of his passion for shopping and women's fashion shows. On their first dates, Mr. Kilpatrick brought Champagne, cooked elaborate meals and talked the talk about Ms. Oaklander's shoes. They were married yesterday.

"He loves sports and all the guy stuff," Ms. Oaklander said. "But on the other hand he loves to cook and he loves design. It balances out."

It tracks with a long-held theory of mine...so-called "modern" women, the Oprah-watching, Sex and The City types, feel entitled to have their cake and eat it, too. Thus, what they really want is a woman with a penis.

In actuality, they seem to despise anything that makes a man a man.

Truly secure and solid women (and Mrs. Cut certainly falls within this group, as, I'm sure, most FReeper Femmes do) enjoy and revel in what makes the sexes different, as truly secure and solid men do. They want members of the opposite sex to be what they are, not playact at being the other.

Such, to me, is ultimately a sign of immaturity in EITHER sex.

Howdy LC!!
Yes siree, BOB!!

I say do away with the sensitivty training for all ages and sexes! Here, Here! I want a man to be a man! Total agreement with your Mrs. Cut!!

I am constantly drawn to a line from the the Odessy (or is it the illiad) Ulysses is dreaming of his wife at home. When his hard body will meet her soft body. (I summarize)

This metrosexual is starting to remind me of a comedic betamale. (women who want women with penis, ha ha ha ha ha)

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Thus, what they really want is a woman with a penis.

And here I'd always dreamed that they longed for women without penises, and would be satisfied in each other's arms.

Another perfectly good fantasy, shot all to hell.
