Metrosexuals - Men in Pink?
An article originally posted at http://www.askblax.com on metrosexuals poses new questions about the metrosexual hype. I discovered recently that when the term metrosexual is used, men automatically associate the word with the slang term 'woose'. And since most women say that they would not date a 'woose' (and I fully relate), does this mean that men try to disassociate themselves from the term metrosexual because it connotes girliness in some way? Maybe the term makes men feel less appealing to women if they break out of the stereotypical rough-and-rugged image to show that they care about their personal hygiene and grooming.
None of it makes sense to me because my take on the 'metrosexual' is that he is the man who is unafraid to wear pink shirts, unafraid to get manicures/pedicures, and unafraid to pamper himself. Metrosexuals are the opposite of the 'rough-neck', perhaps. If so, what is all the hype about? What *type* (and I use the word type loosely) of men do women really prefer?
Since the clothes and pampering of oneself won't make a man, me thinks there must be something wrong with my definition of the metrosexual. Men are men regardless of what they wear. That being said, I would not expect to see a 'manly man' in lace shorts. But I don't think there are too many women who could resist a man with smooth clear skin, fresh breath, and the absence of dirt under his fingernails.
If my understanding of what a metrosexual is holds true, why does the label 'metrosexual' apply only to men? Are women metrosexuals, too? Women get manicures, pedicures and wear pink shirts, so...
