Death of the Metro-Sexual Man
Well, it is official South Africa is now also experiencing an economic recession but I don’t believe it will be as bad as the great depression of 1929 – I Googled it! Many of us will experience the economic recession in different ways and feel the pinch of it. As a gay man the recession has already impacted on my life. As most of you know the grooming rituals of the homosexual male is quite intriguing and complex. With our particular style of grooming I’d like to believe that we were responsible for the emergence of the Metro-sexual Male (heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance, and/or a lifestyle that displays attributes stereotypically related to gay men). This being said, I believe the recession is posing a tremendous threat not only to homosexual men but the recession is also killing the metro-sexual male!

Oh, wait. It's a blog post? *clicks* -
Oh thank god!-
I second that. -
I run em out of town with a shotgun. They don't like me much.
-
-
The ads for this post are about male grooming...-
Haha! I noticed that too.
-
-
I was taking to a gay guy, says he HATES 'metero-sexual' men. Thinks theyre a tease-
ROFLMAFFAO
That's funny. -
You were 'taking' a gay guy?
Sounds rather kinky! -
haha, talking to. whoops
-
-
No offense is meant when I say this - but thank the Gods. I do not like metrosexual male styles at all!-
I concur -
Thirded. And good riddance, too. -
/shock thank the gods??
eh?
and yeah.. fourthed
-
Hee hee you forgot I was a Pagan didn't you?
Yeah - (no offense,) but if I wanted to date someone with nice nails, soft hair, and who smelled pretty, I'd date a woman -
Noooo!!! That means I'll have to work harder to get women. It was so easy with all those metro's around. =\

I think the point of the thread is......when ya can't get a manny petty it's a sad day in the usa.....I like a manly man,but who are we to judge. Um we can't if homeboy wants a manny petty that's his biz,-
There are a lot of people in this country who can't afford to get a manicure or a pedicure. They have never been able to afford it.
there are a lot of people who can't afford to eat - long before this recession/depression was even a glimmer in the Fox news anchor's eye. Like, hundreds of years before now.
That means that every day has been a sad day in the country. -
Anok,I'm not fixing to get into with u again,but as long as any homeless person can still walk into a mickey d's and get to use a sink and toilet,the usa still doesn't know what true poverty is. Try selling ur tale of woe to any 3rd world country and see if they don't laugh u out of the room
-
At any given point in time in this country's history - there are millions of people who can't/couldn't afford to EAT.
Who gives a flying rat's ass about a damn manicure?
My neighbor is going bankrupt because her severely autistic child is in need of such specialized care that she has to pay out of pocket for a special school (she is not welcome in public schools) and a minimum of two people to prevent her from harming herself, and inflicted further harm on other children, plus meds. Her other children will go without food and a home if she can't get the help she needs.
I really don't give a damn about a pretty boy who can't file his own nails, or a girl upset because she can't have palm trees painted on her three inch acrylic tips.
in THIS country - with such abundance and wealth NO ONE should be without food, or shelter. IN THIS COUNTRY. I don't care if they have access to a washroom once in a while. NO ONE should be without food and shelter in this country. It's insane to even justify it.
You're sitting here complaining about what a sad day it is because a $40 + tip nail job is no longer affordable, when people are losing their homes, can't buy food, can't pay for a doctor, and are staring at financial oblivion.
No wonder this country is going to hell.
manicures - please, let's get our priorities straight. Starving people. That's a sad day.

Kinda like spending 8$ on a bag of pot. I think that was the point of the thread
-
where do you get pot for $8? certain people might be interested to know
-
-
I heard that the latest thing is about urbosexual these days-
wtf is that?
-
I think you mean ubersexual. Urbosexual would probably be "of sexual nature in urban areas".
-
Oops
You are right. I am so confused that I did not even know how to spell the word anymore
-
-
What exactly is the “particular style of grooming” of gay men? Maybe I am clueless, but is there really a difference between the appearance of the average gay or straight? Do gays wear flamboyant shirts? Do straights wear wrinkled clothing? I need a fashion lesson. Hmm…know what? My clothing is sorta wrinkled. Avoid cotton…it wrinkles. -
-
I didn't know so many people disliked the metro-sexual man. Maybe the recession has an upside after all!
-
So something good could come out of the current economic situation!
Don't let the door hit you in the #*$ on the way out metro-sexual.-
LoL, the poor guys!
-
-
Why is it that so many people seem to have such an dislike in Metro-Sexual Males? Does it threaten men's masculinity and women's idealization of what I man should be like? It intrigues me...
-
I like it. Makes less competition for me.
-
-
@dbowles1017 I figured that much lol
-
I dont mind a guy that takes care of himself,and likes to dress fashionably but I dont like it when they over do it (cristiano ronaldo territory)with the over tweezed eyebrows and the orange tan, etc..-
I agree, if they go to the extreme it gets a but much. They need to find a balance. They are straight after all!
-
Cologne; That kills me.
-
-
@rlc257 what's wrong with cologne?
-
It's not like smelling nice will make you less of a man, or do you disagree?
-
Too much of it. I don't need to smell you two towns over, you know. If you apply the right amount, cologne is great; girls like it. I wear it from time to time. There are those, though, that wear enough for themselves and every other guy in the nation to the point it activates the gag reflex.
-
My brother is like that. It's terrible, especially when the cologne itself is bad.
-
-
I think there is a thin line between just enough cologne and too much! I must admit it also annoys me when you can smell the person before you see them.
-
Me and my friend wanted to 'punish' this guy for being too nice. We were in grade school. So, we actually applied huge amounts of cologne all over ourselves and sat with him side by side .He almost fainted. We were so happy with the results. Remember we were kids.-
Yes you were kids, and kids can be cruel. Now that you are no longer a kid, how would you deal with it now?

Any metro-male, like any gay man worth his salt, knows how to survive a recession while remaining stylishly in tact.
I wouldn't count on seeing a decrease in the Metros. -
I need to redefine "metro-sexual". I thought it meant being a city guy that accepted all life in whatever form that flowed around him. From enjoying coffee with a gay couple to swapping worst drunk stories with a side street wino. Even though I live in the Ozarks I felt it applied to me.
If stylish dress and cologne is the definer, I'll probably have to back off the label. I'm a by-weekly bather (once a week now that 90 degree summer is here). Walmart's cheapest 5-pack of soap is the only attractor I wear. (Unfortunately it attracts mostly flies since temperatures have climbed.)
Maybe "Odd-sexual" will become my term. It sounds better than "Post-sexual".-
What does any of that stuff have to do with sexuality? o.O
-
-
It has to do with how sexuality / masculinity is perceived. If men tend to appear to take greater interest in their cosmetic appearance, the are perceived as less masculine.
-
I know Goth guys who are also Metro-sexuals.It's great because they're the ones who help their wives dress up to look good, even the specifics like applying nail polish and make-up.
