So I learnt a new word today, from my fellow colleague. The 'Metrosexual man'.
The Metrosexual man is high maintenance, usually (but not exclusively) has a monthly manicure, visits a salon rather than a barbor, is straight (I'm 25% bent, so I won't qualify) and well just loves himself. Takes longer than a woman to get tarted up, has a handbag full of comedics.
I must have been in a cave all these years to not have heard of this word. |

It was quite a good marketing ploy years back to sell the beauty industry to men.
Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with a man who likes to take care of himself, so long as he's not vain! |

"Yeah it isn’t a new word so surprised you have not heard of it. "
Well I've known men like this. I just never knew there was actually a word for it. |

Fun fact: in Australia the metrosexual was also known as the snag, or sensitive new age guy. Known for deodorant and consumption of vegetables.
Fortunately sanity has resumed, and snag now means sausage again  |

Oh yeah I've met vegan metro men. They are incredible. Way too advanced for me. |

... No no. You don't get it.
In the 90s in Australia the brave bold noble heterosexual man was so threatened by the idea of showering regularly and men eating vegetables, that they called any guy who looked at a salad, and didn't smell like stale sweat, sort of gay light.
I'm glad straight guys are so strong in their convictions  |

I still don't get it.
I do shower twice a day. But that's only because I'm ocd. But straight out of shower and I'm off within minutes. Literally. |

The idea that anyone needs to justify being hygienic to defend their sexuality is *wild*. |

As someone who remembers the metrosexual/snag movement, that's what it seems to amount to. "I shower and I know what a vegetable is, but not in a gay or girly way" |

Metrosexual men are quite pretentious in my experience… live beyond their means and look down on other who are not on their level. They get burnt eventually |

I saw some guy in his late 20son tv who actually looked like a Ken doll. He’d had Botox and lip fillers, teeth and the st tropez tan obviously.
I can only conclude that he must’ve just had a plastic mound where his genitals would normally be situated.
Eeeeh t’worlds goin mad I tell thee |

I just don't get why it's a big deal.
Tbh I thought we'd moved past the days where men were so confined by the straight persona (stinky, carnivore, grunting) that they had to create a sexuality for hygiene  |

Yes I've seen men like this. It must be an expensive life style.
So long as they are happy and in good health. |

Well it means 75% of me is 'normal' and the other 25% wobbly.
It took a while to come to terms with it. And it's beautiful. |

It changes accordingly, dependent on the season, month, full moon or half-moon. The human body is a complex machine. |

I always make sure my nails are cut and clean. Hygiene is so important. |

I hate the term metrosexual. If a man dares to look after himself it's seen as strange and needs a sexuality slant
Men can use products without it being strange and without it affecting his sexuality |

Does it also wash your face, balls, and car? Or is it a bit girly? |

I think it's all good if a man looks after his penis. Everything else though is secondary. |

Mate what you described is an insecure narcissist...no one really knows what what a metrosexual is...it's a banal word with a sexual connotation,but has nothing to do with sexuality. In my early twenties I simply had to take a shower and apply some moisturiser on my face and I was deemed a metrosexual ...because "REAL" men were suppose to be sweaty and dirty  . Seriously I haven't heard anyone use the word "metrosexual" in the last 10 years...this word died a decade ago...just let it be |

It's a word that I (happily) use in moderation but I don't associate it with sex whatsoever.
I'm not a "bar of soap and a flannel man" - it's more about enjoying my "products" for my ritualistic ablutions. |

"We've never heard of that word, ever.
David Beckham was described as it loads at one point. "
Exactly right. When he wore that sarong back in 90's and also the hair band. Term has been around for yrs. |
