WTF is going on?

Whats with the metrosexual crap all over the place?

I actually overheard 2 guys talking about some latest Cologne and i couldn't stop laughing. Why are guys all over the place acting like women? Both guys talked in a soft kinda voice too.

I don't get it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Thank you norin, thank you for still being a man. God I thought all the men died or something... at least SOMEONE is still left.

I overheard 2 guys at work trying to discuss hair care products and I wanted to just shoot their dicks off. It's not just pathetic... it's sick.

You want to shoot guys who care about their hygiene and the way they look? Sounds like someone is a bit insecure with themselves.
 
And what's the deal with Grape Nuts, am I right? There's no grapes. There's no nuts. I mean, c'mon!

There's a difference between taking care of yourself, and talking about it.

This thread is pointless. Unless its cool now to advertise how insecure you are about people not meeting your social stereotypes.

*sigh*

My Bumble & Bumble Sumo Wax must remain my secret shame. Oh fair co-worker, how I long to express my deepest feelings about how anti-humectant pomades are so right for you!
ALAS!
 
Fuck no. My wardrobe consists mainly of band and White Wolf licensed black t-shirts I've had since high school (graduated in 1997) and pants from Goodwill. I've never spent more than $2 on a bottle of shampoo and have never let cologne anywhere near my skin.

I'm not homophobic at all. I just don't feel the need to impress people with fashion.
 
I like to dress really nice, but I don't think I've ever discussed hair care products or clothes with another guy. My male friends wear jeans and t-shirts, so I'm sure they'd shoot me if I started talking about it with them. They already have enough fun teasing me about my appearance.

For me, I feel good when I'm dressed nice. I really don't care what other people think, whether it's good or bad.
 
You make it sound like all they talk about is cologne and hair care and buttsex. Who cares? Mind your own damn business.

What's pathetic is that you let your eavesdropping on one of their conversations abour trivial bullshit get you angry enough to want to shoot their dicks off.
 
I dress a bit better than average, make sure my hair doesn't look shitty, and occassionally wear cologne. I guess that makes me a fag LOlOLOLLoLZ!

Oh, and fyi, men started putting stuff in their hair, wearing cologne, and dressing to impress no less than five years ago at the beginning of the metrosexual revolution.

Not to mention that a lot of traditional masculine stuff is really just about image and is no different to me than metrosexuality. Full-size V8 pickups never used to haul anything, sports cars that never see a track, Harleys, pricey leather jackets, suits etc.
 
Hmm. I'm not sure if people who frequent videogame-based message boards are supposed to be making fun of people who actually take care of themselves.

Either way, Ben Affleck is gay.

I love that expression- "take care of themselves". As if metrosexuals are the only males who are physically fit. Please.

I think he's referring to the stereotypical internet nerd/slob with no sense of hygiene.
 
I don't mind when I dress/look nice, but I'm just too damn lazy. Sometimes I want to look better, but it's a lot of work. I say more power to em though.

I usually go with jeans and a grey undershirt a bit baggy and sometimes an unbuttoned overshirt, but half the time it comes off anyways.
 
I have no problem with gay people.

I do have a problem with the wannabe-Eurotrash Miami kids who talk about "clubbin'", spend 20 minutes on their hair in the morning so it looks like a greaseball mess, and wear clothes that are too tight.

There's a huge difference there. I think I just hate people who try and conform to the norms of a certain clique because they think it's cool.
 
Yes, well, being a metrosexual is a lot more than taking a shower everyday, grooming yourself and dressing well. In other words, just because you do these things, doesn't mean you are a metrosexual.

I think guys who try to be metrosexual nowadays are under the impression that girls like this. From what women have told me, some do but a lot don't.
 
I have a few gay friends and the queen of the group (my GFs alternate BF) spent 30 minutes on his hair before he got to my house to leave michigan for Cedar Point. I razzed the hell out of him for that. "Dude, we're going to be in a fucking car. I don't think anyone gives a shit."

He's not really hitting my GF, they just have common taste in musical theatre and they take jazz dance together. They can do the entire show of RENT if you ask them...none of us ask them...ever.
 
I feel it appropriate to link to this article by Maddox.

Metrosexual: A gay guy still in the closet. This word is so contemptible that even the man who coined it has since apologized for being such a douche. I cringe every time I hear this word.

Retrosexual: This word wouldn't exist if "metro" didn't happen to rhyme with "retro." It's supposed to mean the opposite of a "metrosexual," which makes it another superfluous word since we already have a word for the opposite of a metrosexual called "straight."

i take offence that people think all gay men dress like poncy queens with tight shirts and a wad of hair gel on their noggin :P

edit : having said that, a gay mate of mine who is.. slightly campy refused to leave my car in light rain without an umbrella and asked me to drive closer to the entrance to a pub so he didnt get wet :lol
 
Eh, I suppose in a way.

I dress better than I need too. I have short gelled hair. I hate watching sports and other typical male hobbies. I'm a huge health nut. I'm not a fat ass. I use bodywash. I dye my hair.

However, all my clothes are classical looking. Mostly solid dark shades. I don't know really anything about cologne other than I've been using Abercrombie & Fitch Woods because my parents bought me a bunch a while back. I use Axe body wash because it doesn't smell like flowers and cupcakes. I dye my hair my natural hair color because I'm going gray.
 
I wear tight pants and tight shirts. I dont consider myself a metro. More like a skater.

When I was in highschool and college, skateboarding frequently and with genuine effort made you a skater... not the clothes. And skaters wear tight jeans now? Sounds crazy.


Anyway, on one hand, I wear scented oils and cologne, I use pore cleansers, and I always wash with one of those shower poof things. Metrosexual +++.

One the other hand, I don't shave nearly often enough, nor is my hair cut and trimmed on a regular basis, and my jeans tend to be a bit on the loose side. Metrosexual ---.
 
I think what it comes down to is....there's a line that once you cross it, yea.

I mean, most guys gel their hair and try to look decent


but you all know, those guys you see around on campus that look like total douches

trying too hard or completely decked out with abercrombie and fitch with the hat kinda to the side, maybe a flicked up collar...



there's masculine/pimp dressed up, douche/trying too hard dressed up, and flaming dressed up(no offense to gay people, i have some friends that are)

Wait a minute. Abercrombie and Fitch? METROSEXUAL?

Just a question - have any of you ever purchased a shirt that was priced above $30? Not that it's a bad thing, mind you - I just think it's sort of logical to avoid making stupid-as-shit statements about things you don't know anything about.
