This site defines it pretty well http://www.wordspy.com/words/metrosexual.asp It's rather informative and humorous. We probably all know someone that fits the characteristic... especially if you live near a large city full of all walks of life. I don't believe this is either a fashion or a fad. Perhaps it's more a personality trait that's become really easy to identify. Sort of the male version of the Barbie syndrome... you know, the masses believing what society and the media is force feeding you. Hell, it's even sprouted such garbage TV as Queer Eye for the Strait Guy... truly strange times we are livin in...
lmao... :: this is quite odd but i'm a fattish dude with simi-long hair who can't put down my guitars, and one - 'tis on my lap as I speak. Dude... I want a handlebar moustace... and perms. That would be so cool.... I like wearing one of those English driver's cap (i'm wearing it now).... if you combine those with a fattish dude with simi-long hair who can't put down a guitar... that would be freaking awesome. Then I could wear press on nails on my non-fretting (right) hand and I could play fingerstyle better and be a metrosexual poser... I could act as if I am a metrosexual... (though I am straight)... that would kick ass.... ok ok ok... I need to like... take a pic, edit it, and draw a handlebar moustache on when I get home...
george, i have to see that pic. i had somewhat of a mental image, but it didnt look too good, like a frog with bike handlbars with a mustache.
