A new wave has been sweeping the nation lately. Men who are fashion conscietious and take every opportunity to make sure that they are well groomed and primed. These men are refered to as metro sexual. They visit the nail salon for facials, manicure, pedicure, the whole works.
No, NO,No their sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with their quest to look "good", but rather as a way of maintaining themselves and making sure that special woman or women , enjoy them more.

So come on in guys and share your beauty secrets with us.
Ladies if your men are too shy, you can do the honours,

Ok, since I am not "spousecally inclined" I will share what my fashionable brother uses"

Calvin Klein after shave
Neutrogena facial scrub
Axe body wash
Eucerin body butter
Neutrogena body oil
PS. I am going to sneak in his things to find out more, brb

metrosexual men are men who are not sure of their sexuality.

Any man who has anything other a sample of Nivea body cream,some cheap bathing soap,deodorant from the £1 shop needs help.Ok,I must just add after shave to the list but that is it.

Each item must not cost more than a £1 or a $1

I don't even know what I look like when I get up in the morning.

I think most women will agree with me that no man should spend more time dressing up than them.

I was taught to respect other people's opinion, so I will do as such,

To each its own.

I however, have to disagree with you that they are still searching for their identity. Most women would agree with me in saying they appreciate and are attracted to well groomed men. Who needs a "rusty looking, foul smelling, anal replusive" significant other? I know I don't.

We are not talking of well groomed men,we are talking of extremely groomed men(metro-sexuals).U don't have to go the lenghts these guys go to look good

Those men are either sexually disoriented or incredibly vain

It's only a matter of time before Metro-sexuals realise that they're gay! I don't want to have to buy two sets of every facial/beauty products everytime i go out.

sweetie, say what i think men should look after themselves just as us ladies, i hate men with long nails, scruffy feet, unkept hair and rough lips.

Ok guys I have heard you loud and clear. However, I think I can clearly define between a gay man and a man who is conscietious of his physical appearance.

I know many of you guys are not being truthful you spend double the time we ladies do in the shower and to get dressed.

As Coco said, who the hell needs an unkept man? For me its a total turn off.

I remembered meeting this guy once at a conference and we begun speaking. Man as soon as he sat next to me, phew! It was as if I opened a Latrine pit, stinky, stinky, stinky. Nails as dirty as a mechanic and don't even talk about those "32's", well lets just say neither Crest or Cologate had ever paid him a visit.

I like, no am attracted to guys who are groomed, not gay, there is a difference,

@neelsel

U were refering to metrosexuals,that is a whole different thing from well groomed men

4play i think u will find that, that is the politically correct term for it.

Being well groomed is not the same thing as metro-sexual.A metro-sexual refers to that unique specie of men who go to extra lenghts to groom themselves.To hold otherwise will mean to say that every well groomed man is a metro-sexual.

4play I think you are saying exactly what I stated " metro sexuals are well groomed" men.

Being metro sexual extends all areas of grooming. There are however, some who go to the extreme, while others tend to be limited in terms of their fashion activities.

4play you like I know that gays are a far different story. They are identifyable in a dark room.

Now those on the DL are a whole different story, and can very well be disguised as Metro sexuals. However, I do not in anyway believe it is fair for me, or for us to label every well groomed, metro sexual as gay.

What do you say to this?

@neelsel

I think u do not understand what a metrosexual actually is .U seem to suggest that u can use the terms "metrosexual" and "well groomed" interchangeably.In essence,u could have titled the thread"Any Well Groomed Men Out There? .

I share a definition I saw in Wikipedia of a metrosexual as a man who spends an inordinate amount of time and money on his physical appearance and has a camp factor.This is not the same as a well groomed man

Dennis Rodman is prime example of a metro-sexual.

Tiger Woods on the other hand is a well groomed man but definitely not a metrosexual.

I think I speak for most men,when I say that we will prefer to be the later than the former.

Most women I dare say,will agree with me

4play Dennis Rodman is GAY, GAY GAY,

I still continue to stress that Metro sexual has nothing to do with your sexual preference.

I also believe you stepped out of bound by blatantly stating that I have not a clue as to the true meaning of the word.

Any way to each its own,

I suggest maybe you start another thread using your prescribed topic heading. How about that?

Finally I did read an article once where Tiger was shown getting a pedicure at a spa in Hollywood. And many more men do take liberty in such luxuries.

Come 4play, you know you spend that extra min in the mirror making sure that moisturizer is properly applied. And you like so many of them freak out when they see a pimple or razor bumps getting out of control,

The truth is many of you guys visit the cosmestic section in the pharmacy just as often as we ladies do, you are all just in denial.

@neelsel i don't think 4play would be caught dead in a spa

4 Play:

Honey you can't speak for all men and most certainly not women, about what they like in a man.

don't get me wrong, i don't want to be fighting with you over the mirror or waiting hrs for the bathroom. However that

extra bit of attention is well worth it. NO IT IS NOT GIRLY MEN WHO DO IT

@neelsel

Dennis Rodman is not gay.Ok maybe i exagerated by suggesting he is the quintessential metrosexual.Not all metrosexuals go to that lenght.

Most gaymen are probably metrosexual but not all metrosexuals are gay.However,metrosexuals have an effeminate quality about them which manifests itself in the inordinate amount of time that they spend on their physical appearance.

It is this narcissm that marks out the metrosexual from the ordinary well groomed man.

Noone is opposed to the idea of a man spending sometime on how he looks,however an excessive desire to look like a walking,talking magazine male model is obscene.

Hence ,I am not critical of a visit to a spa to have a bit of a pedicure but such visits will verge on the metrosexual if they  became a regularity so much so that he does so more than the average woman .

And we don't visit the cosmetic section of the pharmacy more than most women.No offense but u sure u  don't hang around too many gay men?Does the phrase [b]gay hag [/b]mean anything to you?

Pi daddy or puff daddy.
David beckham are good examples

and i did my manicure today. and was about to make a topic on this very issue.
who said that metrosexual are searching for their sexuality?
i know that i am very concerned concious about my grooming. i shave my armpits, my privates, wear quality clothes. buy facial products, do my nails pedicure included and i feel very much a man. never had a feeling/desire for male companionship outside of a drinking partner when partying.
One of the nicest thing for me is to be on the plaza on a weekend wearing a push-toe sandals, showing off the self done pedicure.
it just feel good to know that people see you that you are extremely well-put-together as a male.

You tell them Pheonixman

4Play one of these days I shall find you in that salon getting your armpit waxed, and I shall remind you of this very topic

Tell me 4play what does gay hag means?

sweetie, say what i think men should look after themselves just as us ladies, i hate men with long nails, scruffy feet, unkept hair and rough lips.

I don't like men with scruffy nails, feet n all either, bt i don't want a ''perfect'' man! it's two different things

Well-groomed and metro sexual are two different concepts, I like my men well groomed, men should take care of themselves and they don't need to break the bank balance to do this. Every thing a guy needs to look after himself shouldn't cost more than £100(than includes a nice bottle of after-shave), moisturizer, lip-balm, hand-cream etc. On the other hand, a metro sexual man will go to the extreme with designer brand products, fashion labels, light cosmetic surgery and dental surgery just to make a statement.

I had an ex that spends money every month on facials, manicure and pedicure, he even went as far has getting his teeth whitened, that doesn’t include the countless number of grooming products he uses, that dude had more products than i do!!! And I can assure that he definitely isn't gay, he is as straight as an arrow.Aside of his extreme grooming, he works 9-5 and still has time to work-out in the gym.

Thank you for sharing that. Now I believe those who are still adamant that Metrosexual men are gay, will now have a whole different outlook.

hehehehehe
