1. I dont see the appeal.
But I'm out of shape, I dont shave anymore I dont even bother to get my hair cut. And I couldnt care less I like being a slob.

4. I have a couple of so-called 'metrosexual' tendencies
I take real good care of my nails, for example, and I put lotion on my cuticles.



Women like well-groomed hands. :)

5. Ridiculous unnecessary nonsense.
All a guy needs to do is shower daily and wear deodorant. All that other crap is a waste of time and money.

9. Everyone deserves to pamper themselves...
That said, if a guy spends more time on his hair/personal daily grooming than I do (and that's not long) then I really find them to be a tad odd...

10. Meterosexuals
I've never personally known a meterosexual,so I don't have much to go on,other than what I have seen on TV/read.

I see nothing wrong with a man who is really into beauty treatments,
and his wardrobe.

But,I'm not so sure if I could date someone that was more girly than me,
and I am quite girly when it comes to that stuff.lol

Still,seeing as I have been single for awhile,it keeps me quite
open minded.

11. It crosses the line from good grooming to vanity.
You don't need your dried facial skin removed by a special exfoliating lotion.

You need it scraped off at high speed by the end of an opponent's boxing glove.

13. I dated one
He was the most vain, narcissistic, egotistical manipulative bastard I have ever had the misfortune of knowing.

Next time around I think I'll be looking for a more, shall we say, traditionally masculine man.

14. I think it's a code word for gay
As in, instead of saying "That guy is a total fag," the same people now say "That guy is a total metrosexual."

27. only if you use gay as a derogatory term and not as a definition of men who have sex with men
otherwise metrosexual and gay are not the same thing

16. I approve in a small way
As in the part that makes men aware that a unibrow and rampant nose hair are never desirable and must be defeated in any way possible. Beyond that, I think clean is sufficient.

18. I appreciate a man who takes care of himself
women make all this effort to dress up and look nice, it's nice when men make the same effort. There are people in both sexes who take the concept kind of far, but in moderation I like it.

24. most of the men i have had sex with are metrosexuals and i am very grateful for it
if i can be bothered to get pretty for you, you should bother to do the same for me.

the few who were not metrosexuals were disappointing in multiple ways

26. I wouldn't be caught dead doing something like that,
and I'm gay! I'm a total slob, though. I guess my "gay card" should be revoked.

29. There are more of us than you think!
I'm not a total slob, but I definitely did not get the decorating, cleaning and impeccable grooming genes!

28. I personally prefer a more rugged type of guy.
I don't want my guy spending more time on his appearance than I do mine. I enjoy the fact that my husband just showers and goes. And his finger nails and toe nails get clipped and that is about it. My husband wouldn't let a file come near his nails. He would also never let any type of dye touch his hair. He is pretty much au naturale! And that is how I like it.

31. I like guys who are well-groomed, and not afraid to do a little manscaping, if you know what I mean.
But facials, eye cucumbers, etc. are just a little too much. I don't think I could enjoy a guy who is more high maintenance than I am.

32. It's great. About time that men stopped being bullied by the ubermachos...
as well as those women who love their own liberties when it comes to being able to pick and choose which gender-specific behaviors they would like to engage in without having to worry about any but the most knuckledragging of knuckledraggers in society calling them dykes or what have you... but will still say how 'un-manly' or 'creepy' it is for men to dare to do the same.

Long past time, really.
