what is a metrosexual?
Saturday, September 23, 2006
The newly popular media and marketing buzzword seems to mean different things to different people, but in general, a metrosexual :
is a modern, usually single man in touch with himself and his feminine side; grooms and buffs his head and body, which he drapes in fashionable clothing both at work or before hitting an evening hotspot; has discretionary income to stay up to date with the latest hairstyles, the newest threads, and the right shaped shoes; confuses some guys when it comes to his sexuality; makes these same guys jealous of his success with the ladies -- for many metros, to interact with women is to flirt; impresses the women who enjoy his company with the details that make the man; Among them:
- his appreciation for literature, cinema, or other arts
- his flair for cooking
- his savoir faire in choosing the perfect wine and music
- his eye for interior design
is a city boy or, if living a commute away from downtown, is still urbane, if not rightly urban; enjoys reading men's magazines... ...exacted from http://www.askmen.com/fashion/austin_100/102_fashion_style.html
