well, you're doubting your fashion sexuality are you not?
if there is a doubt, the answer is always yes
just posting in this thread made you metro...welcome...
i am definitely metro...
professional shampoo/conditioner/hair gel...
algae facial treatments and other nice skin moisturizers...
PowerBook G4
shop at Banana Republic, Diesel, Calvin Klein, Armani Exchange...
boxer briefs
manicures/pedicures
Tumi backpack
Prada and Gucci eyewear
Pottery Barn furniture (ultra suede comforter = the ticket)
wow...it feels good to be out of the...uhhh walk-in closet
girls love metros...who doesn't like invites to shop with them at victoria's secret
this is a term that has always always always confused me...
straight men can't get expensive haircuts and facials, etc.? are these straight men so insecure about themselves that they think they need a special term for their lifestyle? do they honestly believe that women find a 'metrosexual' more attractive?
most surveys i've seen show that women prefer a more masculine man, nothing like the pretty boy image that "queer eye" tries to turn people in to (i'm going to assume that they try to make people 'metro')
so what's the point of this term anyway? why? who cares?
in my opinion, it's used by boys who can't get girls, but haven't figured out that they're gay yet... (maybe not "figured out", but have come to terms with?)

No. My haircuts are $12, + tip. However, I did get flamed by teammates and my track coach for saying, "I can't come to practice tomorrow because I have a hair appointment..." I guess they all though that made me sound gay, since I didn't say 'haircut."

Pottery Barn furniture is awesome. I do also love my pima cotton sheets.
A side though. Is it possible that people accuse more wealthy guys of being metro? I guess I say this because a lot of the metro lifestyle could also be viewed as things that more well off people can take advantage of. Honestly, I don't mind flaunting iPods and Macs, nice cars, good quality items, and trendy clothes. When people ask why I dress nice, I often find myself saying, "Because I can...?" If I couldn't afford any of those, I probably wouldn't appear as metro.

Thats a good point. There are probably people who would want to dress more trendilly (new word) but they don't want to spend the money. Although not people that dress really well are rich and people that don't dress as well are people.
When I think of "metro" I think of Armani Exchange clothes and other really european clothes stores. Colored patterns and designs predominately. Metro sounds like Euro.
I however dress more preppy. So if you are preppy are you automatically metro or not necessarily metro.
I wear clothes from Abercrombie, American Eagle, Polo, Lacoste, and J. Crew. My sheets fyi are from Ralph Lauren. However my backpack, 2 of my fleece jackets, my winter shell (zips into fleeces), and my vest are all The North Face which is more outdoorsy like EMS and Helly/Hanson.
I guess I am metro because I am overly concerned with my appearance. I spend a lot of (my parents) money on clothes. People call me metro and preppy (and those low social class people call me gay). I guess it really depends on the definition of metro.

minimax said:hmm I'm not metrosexual...I think. But sometimes people do think I'm gay
Even my mom asked me once.
What is "gay music"
I ment lasbian women who take the manly part in a relationship. I know lasbian couples and one of them is more manly dressed and acts more like a man does. So if this woman dresses and behaves like a metrosexual man.
And yes, it is a very well dressed woman. But my experience is, that the woman, who takes the role of a man (not every couple does this roleplay, I know) acts like a rude and bad dressed cad.
EDIT: I don't know, but "metrosexual" is a term which is not existing for women; is that right?

Yes, that is gay music.
I remember accidently playing one of their music videos on itunes. Very very very very odd.

Well you could define it in two ways i guess. The first is music that has an 'above avarage' appeal to gay people. The second would be music specifically catered to a gay audience [insert explicit lyrics and fast beats that make your body 'jack']. Many times the second results in the first.
I meant the second one
I have to agree ABBA fits the first category pretty well tho
