Metrosexuals

girly men
men not out of the closet yet
some mama's boys
passive men

Ok so the above somewhat fall into the same category.

Metrosexual
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Metrosexual is a term coined in 1994 (along with the noun, metrosexuality) by British journalist Mark Simpson, who used it to refer to an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. He is the fashion-conscious target audience of men's magazines:
Outside Britain, in its soundbite diffusion through the popular media, metrosexual has congealed into something more digestible: a heterosexual male who is in touch with his feminine side - he color coordinates, cares deeply about exfoliation, and has perhaps manscaped.

So apparently, this was a fad I think. It was very popular not so many months ago.
Thing is .... some women are actually attracted to these men!
I mean, I see them alot downtown in the business district. Very stylish, some may even call them HOT or a good dresser. Well kept, very GQ.
DO these women actually think these men would want them?
To me it is a fancy term of calling a man who thinks or wants to be hetrosexual but in reality he is flaming gay inside!
Now, dont get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with Gay men. They are even sometimes better than girlfriends to a gal. BUT its when they are gay inside and pretend to be not gay outside. That is not fair to the naieve gals who fall for them. Imagine that.... your metrosexual bf cheats on you with....... your brother or at least hits on your brother or someting! gez! Talk about getting therapy to recoup fromt the breakup of your metro man!

Seriously guys, if your Gay, just say it! Dont mask it! Be proud! Then go after some other man of your interests and leave us single women alone!
Since this is a "trend" so to speak there are alot of men out there "embracing their feminine side" and actually saying and doing Metrosexual things and are proud of it being "metrosexual".

I sound bitter you say??

Well yes. I have a freind who is "metrosexual". He is a freind who was set up on a date with me. A blind date. I could tell there was something off just by the sound of and Pro-noun-ciation in his voice on the phone. Ok maybe its just in my head, I said driving off to meet him at a cafe. Then I met him....Yikes! When I saw him he was pretty metro. Hair slightly long and slicked back. ....what manly manly sport man greases back his hair? No not gel and all, it was slicked back. ugh! (Oh and seriously, who wants a man that uses more hair products than yourself anyway?) We got along fabulously! So much in common. He was at a good phase in his life, well established and a professional. Kind. Cheerful and happy, not a negative bone in his body and funny too. But somehow while laughing and joking and talking with him I soooo could not see myself with him.... even if I tried. It would almost be like being with a gal! He tried to show interest in that way to me but I just was not feeling it, and I know he wasnt too. Maybe he was forcing it. But I would never tell him that I think he is in the closet and to stop torturing himself. I think that would hurt him more. And he is too much of a kind guy.

Men, or manly men, men that are the men that we, or at least I want to be with.... Are not metrosexuals. This does not mean I want a man that smells and is a slob and is lazy and doesnt care about his looks or maintenace at all, but someone who is not, well,.... a stylish girly man.
Just so long as he cleans himself and smells like soap or downey fabric softener. Is neat and relaxed in clothes and is comfortable in himself. Yes neat and clean and relaxed....... and of course, strong and protective and not vain, a gentleman, someone who treats you as the princess.....not wanting to be the princess himself!

I could go on about the metrosexuals or that whole metrosexual revolution but Im just going to leave this post here.
