Amorous Propensities : sex is funny, sex is sad

its like me. wanting to enjoy the glitz and glam that is feminine life yet enjoying the extasy of pleasuring a woman

For the love of all that is decent, why is society tryng to turn men into women? Memo to all you deviant, effeminate, trans-gendered, hippy, liberalist homosexuals…WE ARE NOT WOMEN!!!

Our differences are supposed to be what makes us attractive to the opposite sex in the first place. I can’t imagine a woman finding a guy whose nails are more manicured than hers, wears sarongs or waxes his “hoo-hah” attractive. Do you honestly think a woman finds it attractive when a man gets a pedicure? This makes me want to retch.

Not to mention that traditional gender roles are what has held our society together for thousands of years in the first place. No wonder things are so screwed up.

Sorry, but a real man isn’t a foppish, aristocratic, milquetoast who wears Prada, gets his nails done or his hair highlighted. We have a word for such men—WOMEN! SO STOP TRYING TO MAKE US ONE OF THEM!!!

There are more women than are dreamed of in your philosophy, R.

I’m personally glad that some stereotypes of how men are supposed to be is beginning to get “blurred”, because we as men should not be expected to “live-up” to certain “select” images of what a man is or does or becomes. As a society we have evolved, and thus, began moving away from this machisimo attitude of how to be the tough guy. Some of us are very much guys through and through, but we aren’t football players, we aren’t automotive mechanics, and we aren’t construction workers…we are people, first, and foremost, we are people. We share diverse interests, and we are now pulling out of the idea that we must live and be a certain way to gain acceptance as a man. Those that believe that we should stay imprisoned in our die-cast mold of machisimo to “preserve” the essence of maleness, I say this…Get with the program…this is the 21st Century, not plimouth rock!!

Metrosexuality? What is it? Its a new word for the dictionary that explains a man in fashion, a man that cuts from the traditions on female dependancies, a man who is cleaner, less messier and above all organised. Well if all this is not attractive to any woman, then God bless the woman. She will have to live with a dirty job all her life. Trends change, humans change, but no matter what era man has lived in, fashion has always been part of it. Today its the Beckhams and the Pitts, yester years saw the Deniros and the Prince Phillips. They had a fashion role of the time and the new lot have theirs today. Its just a matter of time when things done today will not be looked upon gayish but a trend in fashion. Todays man has developed a sense of style, charisma, fragrance, home making and bringing up children single handedly. He looks after his health, wealth, appearance and environment. Therefore, if this a Metrosexual, then please welcome him. Mr Khan Birmingham.

I think it’s perfectably acceptable…if society welcomes the “tomboy” (hetrosexual females who enjoy traditionally male activities and attributes) and even portrays it as socially healthy, then why not treat Metrosexuality, obviously the male equivalent of this, in the same fashion?

I recently read an article on this new development and I have to say that it is deeply interesting. Gone are the days where society looked down on or simply made fun of a man that used skin moisturizers or was interested in fashion. However, there were some comments that were somewhat disturbing. A metrosexual isn;t some man that tries to look pretty to the extent that he looks like a fruitcup; actually, he tries to take care of his physical appearance to the extent that he presents a good (and still masculine) image of himself.

I’ve been reading up on this for about an hour and i find it real interesting. I am a woman who would find a man like this real attractive. I have to say that a guy that really cares about fashion is interesting. A metrosexual can be masculine and feminine at the same time.

i agree that this is the 21st century , there’s noone we have to please but ourselves or live up to anyones standards on how a real ”MAN” should be. you could only be so lucky to have this trait a sense of style, music, looks,lifestyles extc… who want’s to be like every other man a big macho man, a sweaty football ogre. this is just mankinds way evolving out of it’s more primitive state we don’t need to know every sport review on espn we don’t need a cold beer to enjoy ourselves this is a more tastefull civilized way of life and you could only be so lucky to live it

Open your mind. don’t focus so much on the labels, but on people just being people. Who says that a man needs to like football and shun shopping. Who says a man needs to guzzle Coors, play golf and sexually harass women on the street? It’s time to wake up and realize that traditional gender roles are changing, whether you like it or not. Men and women are different, and always will be, but it doesn’t mean we can’t shed this burdensome, outdate, traditional roles about what is masculine and what is feminine. And to Mr. Macho post guy…almost everybody in the big U.S. cities (NY, LA, San Fran, etc) has already recognized this…so it’s only a matter of time before this spreads everywhere else also. Sorry, buddy.

I am a teenager, and I would call myself a Metrosexual. I mean, I like to have a nice appearance, and I am fairly high maintenance, but it does have its positive sides. Honestly, I am in good shape because I actually care about what I look like, and I have clear and smoothe skin because I buy products that will make me look my best. I like having shaped eye brows, and I like to wear clothes that compliment some of my better features. And girls take notice. If you stand identicle twins next to eachother, same physique and looks, only one is nicely groomed, wearing a nice outfit, and the other is wearing dirty jeans and an old t-shirt, and doesn’t really keep up with their appearance, who would you choose. The answer is pretty clear. Just be honest with yourself, and you will have more fun with life. And as far as the whole macho man stereo type of the past, thats what it is, the past. I take care of my appearance, I hate football and I am a competitive cheerleader. And I like women, and up to this date, they seem to like me as well.

I was rather hoping that women’s lib would mean that girls could be sloppier, not that men would be given the same kind of fashion anxiety and body image problems we have suffered from. Oh Well not in a capitalist society, I guess. PS Why “metrosexual” (which is just lame) when we have the perfectly good terms “fop” and “dandy?”

Well, this is a new term for me. I love it. Metrosexual, but of course the most important point to attracting women is how the guy TREATS the woman, which I note usually has something to do with how he views and treats his own mother, and not so much on whether he subscribes to GQ or Field and Stream. I myself am attracted to men who are clean and neat. I like men who like cultural stuff, and who have a social conscious. But, I tell you what, trying to find all of the above in ONE man is a tall order. I am “40” this year. TA DA! And I have not found him yet. But, alas, I know he is out there somewhere. To R.Stephens: The Am.Psychological Association took homosexuality off the list of deviant behaviors in 1973, and geez lighten up. You sound like some repressed man from Victorian England. If you want to hunt big game, and slap on some Old Spice, go right ahead, but don’t engage in such black and white thinking,please! To Khan: Kudos man, you got it! and same to Trinidadian David. Two snaps to you.Just kidding!

Imagine a man with some annoying mental ‘twittering’ which he cannot come to terms with (ontology), and that the only reprieve from these vagrant tintillations is to deep throat some guy or beg for it up his waste elimination canal so that these twittering tintillations can be placated by daddy. This is psychotic. There are few real mean around in popular culture just as there are few real women, But they are there and there is no mistaking them when you meet or see them. The Fem-Nazis scream for equality. If a man were to speak to a feminist as he would another man, the feminist would try to bring the man up on charges of being sexist. The FemNazis will/would dictate how men should relate to one another in verbal communication in the name of equality as devised by popular culture and spoken and uttered in the verbage of political correct language. Heres an equality for you. Homosexuality/Lesbian and Pedophilia are one and the same thing ..SICK!

Metrosexual boys are adorable, as long as they aren’t too concieded.

I think it’s cute. <3

I dont think theres anything wrong with Metrosexualism. The more I read about it, the more I relate to it. Its just a lifestyle. Not everyone will adhere to it, but those who do, and those who are attracted to it, it works.

Being metrosexual is cool…Just the safe way for a straight guy. I think this phenomenon is out to save the simple guys who are honest and still want to have fun.This is especially necessary in a world where there is no serious lover for the cute guy except someone who just wants to sleep with him because he is adorable. Celebrating the male gender is a realisation of masculinity…so be it.

In response to this previous post:

“I can’t imagine a woman finding a guy whose nails are more manicured than hers..attractive”

I’ll take manicured fingers caresssing my intimate parts over ragged dirty chewed nails anyday.

After reading the posts, I think I am a metrosexual. I could attribute this to having moved to NY. Pre-NY, I didn’t care much about my hair, clothes or figure. But now, I’m happy to say that I’m wearing pants 3 sizes smaller, thanks to diet and hitting the gym. I mean the city will really make you feel conscious, but I’m not complaining. People in my old town say I look different now and sexier. Who doesn’t like that kind of attention. Funny thing is, my friends think I could pull off a pink shirt perfectly. I haven’t tried it though but I am that open to fashion now. I am pretty secured with my male sexuality and I thank gay men for showing us culture and class.
