Metrosexual Mini Forum

Yes, but I am starting to think we are thinking about different levels or meterosexuality. Theres the well groomed guy, the guy who puts a lot of value in his looks and is usually vien (like you and me) and the metrosexual whose lifestyle doesn’t just affect his clothes, but his friends, speech patterns, enviorment etc. Out of the women I know who talk openly about their sexuality and men I have only heard metrosexuality being brought up as a bad thing.

Women are a different entity and cannot be compared. From the cradle to the grave women are bombarded with how they should look x way and should take y care of themselves. Many times I wonder if a man’s penis insecurities are even near the insecurities a women has.

What’s with all this SIN talk?!?!?!…It’s pissing me off. If you don’t like what we’re discussing, then get out.

By the way, this is a PE Forum. Isn’t touching your pee-pee a sin too?

Anyway, I don’t want to talk about this sin garbage.

A METROSEXUAL is a person who likes to keep up his appearance. A metrosexual IS a heterosexual and I’m actually glad that the word was ‘invented’ since many of my friends thought I was gay. I knew I wasn’t gay - damn I love the poooo-nanny!!! But I also like the way I look.

I use moisturizer, I get manicures, I go to tanning salons and my shoes are ALWAYS spotless. I’m a metrosexual, and I’m damn proud to be one.

To my fellow metrosexuals…one word:

NIVEA.

When shaving (anywhere) I always use Nivea’s Sensitive Shaving Gel. It has chamomile and Vitamin E as well as NO ALCOHOL. You’ll notice a difference after the first time your try it and you’ll never go back

Another tip. WATER. Our bodies are 90% water. Give your body what it wants and needs. Your skin, digestive and immune systems will thank you!

For this thread I am thankful…

I have recently been ahh… ‘diverted’, towards Metrosexuality. I didn’t know such a thing existed until my posse of women at work decided I needed an overhaul. I also knew I was in desperate need of something, as women can sense these kinda things so, they took it upon themselves to help me out (or in I should say).

They first began to explain that they wanted to turn me into a metrosexual which, of course, I refused and laughed off. After a brief search on the net and I found a few definitions of just what the hell a metrosexual was. It’s basically a guy who takes extremely good care of himself and is not afraid to ‘show it off’, so to speak, as confidence is everything in this game.

Ok, my curiosity has always gotten the best of me so I submitted to this ‘transformation’ if you will.

First, we went clothes shopping and to my surprise they where picking out stuff I had walked past a 100 times and never gave a second glance. The sad part was I actually liked what they were picking out. I was a little apprehensive at first because I thought they were possibly attempting to make a fool out of me (which women can and will do).

Second, they explained that I should pay more attention to my exterior appearance such as skin, beard, fingernails etc. and for god’s sake get a tan, so, I did. I trimmed the nails, started going to the tanning salon and started getting my hair cut at a beauty salon instead of a barber. You pick up some good shit in a beauty salon, believe me!

Third, hair. Now, this was the most difficult part for me. I’ve always been a little skeptical of anyone wanting to change my hair around but I kept an open mind and let the chips fall where they may. So, I was approached one night in a hotel room and she had a beer in one hand and hair gel in the other (almost nightmarish eh?). I let her proceed to ‘gel me up’ and then we went to dinner. I honestly hated it. I felt as if someone shaved my head and put a neon sign over me. The next morning she gel’d me up again and this time we were flying back home with the corporate big wheels and I said “they are going to laugh at me” so, she bet me $20 that they wouldn’t say a word about it. Well, I owe her $20. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, I’m insecure. Yes, I am but I think that’s what these ladies are teaching me to overcome and it’s working.

I’ve been getting much more glances in the grocery store, tanning salon and simply out driving.

So, in a nut shell, I’m pro pussy and will remain such, however; I also will continue to take care of myself on an extreme level as I know it’s not only for them but for me. Keep you head high and let your dick hang low because that’s the name of this game.

Take care of your bodies and good things will come. I promise!!

I know some very effeminate heterosexual men who seem to me like what you are describing. Sure, you will find ultra-metros with poor character, but you will also find them with excellent character. This is true for any group; you will find flannel and steel toe boot wearing (I have donned this apparel) red necks that you would trust to raise your children as well as some you would prefer to have nothing to do with.

Sure, anyone who takes something to an extreme in an attempt to distract themselves from their problems, well, has a problem. But there are also those who finally feel comfortable following their instincts (as stated above).

Quik4life,

this is the sin talk I’m mocking here:

Sorry you missinterpreted me, nothing further from my beliefs than the very existence of sin. My fault. For that I apologize. What I’m just trying to underline in a sarcastic, even cynical way, is that you, meterosexuals, metrosexuals, xxxxsexuals, whomeversexuals, whateversexuals, have the right to be and behave the way you/they wish. Nobody has the right to judge you/them.

If you carefully read a couple of my posts you’ll notice that I’m actually supporting the “Metrosexual” cause, BTW, brought about or followed by people that I truly appreciate, admire and like from this forum.

And, heavy sinners, too. To start with they had too many Gods and Godesess, some of whom happened to be nasty MFs.<

>There’s nothing wrong with a little (or a lot) of “positive Narcisism”. Some may deem it a sin, but -under the same scope- isn’t pulling our dicks or even fucking around (fornicating) also a sin?

Guys with roughly some 80lbs of excess weight, can I be a metro? I bathe every day.<

In these preceding lines I’m pointing out:

1- That something like Metro or Meterosexuality have important precedents in Human History, not only the Greeks, but also the Egiptians, the Romans and the Arabs (the Arab Empire) cultivated this healthy approach to self-image.

2- That Christian culture, which during the Middle Ages shyed away from self hygiene, even deeming a simple regular bath a thing of the Devil, considered Greeks as unrepentent sinners. Metrosexuals were called sinners before in the thread, so, they had the privilege to share that epiteth with the Greeks.

3- That what is called Metrosexuality, again a way of life that, IMHO, simply defines something that should be taken for granted, which is the care of our bodies, image and -hopefully- our intelligence (“Mens sana in corpore sano”, you see, nothing really new, Romans copied older cultures in the matter), is an example of what Psychologists call “Positive Narcisism”, which in actuality is a driving force that produces many benefits for the individual and sometimes for society.

4- That if taking care of one’s own body is a sin (again a ridiculous and Medieval idea, to say the least), then pulling the dick daily should be deemed truly a Capital sin, which is a conflict for this person, because he is in a forum of dick pullers, in consequence, comitting himself a sin. BTW, pulling the dick is a way of taking care of our bodies.

5- Even if I share your ideas, take care of myself and practice a Martial Art that requires an approach similar to Metrosexuality regarding selfimage and corporal hygiene, am I apt to call himself a Metrosexual, although I haven’t been able to shed those pounds, yet?

Finally,

I want to call your attention about this words written by you:

>What’s with all this SIN talk?!?!?!…It’s pissing me off. If you don’t like what we’re discussing, then get out.<

Please, even if you are right about the substance, you’re absolutely wrong about the form. Rudeness is not the proper way to debate. Here, we debate ideas. I might actually think that Metrosexuality is a sin (I couldn’t, I don’t even believe in God). In that case, debate, discredit the idea, but, sir, don’t try to kick me out of the place. You don’t have the right. Don’t fight people, again, just their ideas, with ideas.

Please, read the Forum Guidelines.

Hog for President!!!

(Of Venezuela) :)

GP,

actually I’m after the World.:)

BTW,

before I saw this thread, I had no idea what Metro or Meterosexuality was.

Hog, I admire you muchly :)

One thing:

>>>something like Metro or Meterosexuality have important precedents in Human History, not only the Greeks, but also the Egiptians, the Romans and the Arabs<<<

…and also lots of precedent in non-human animals! You ever noticed how most animals seem to spend their days foraging, sleeping, and *grooming*? The most metrosexual human doesn’t even compare to a typical monkey in hours spent on self-maintenance!

Thank you Goomba, I love you too.:kisskiss:

True, but this goes beyond “basic” corporal hygiene. Cats ar a good example, too.

I forgot that American Indians before the Discovery -at least in tropical America- also cultivated the custom of bathing to a very refined degree, according to their technological possibilities. This -interestingly- set grounds to be accused of Satanic or having “undoubtedly” satanic influences, and in urgent need of catechesis by the Catholic Church, just because they bathe every single day. They even developed ointments and oils to take care of their skin and hair.

What I’m trying to say is that there is more to this Metrosexual thing than just Nivea cream.:)

Thanyou Ike, :D Im proud to be a Metrosexual! ;)

I don’t know if you would consider me a metrosexual, but I like to keep up my appearance and “cleanliness”. So can we stop arguing about whether or not it is a sin and get back to some good grooming tips please. If you don’t agree with it, then stay out and let those of us who are interested in it discuss it in peace.

SSI, we are ready for your instruction, master. :D

Is exfoliation a good thing?

Stubby and everyone in general,

I respect your right to your opinion but I think your post is a good starting point for me in this thread. :) so let me begin by addressing some issues that you have highlighted…

I dont wear any kind of make up but if I had a blemish that I thought could be concealed by a dab of makeup then I would not hesitate to use it ( I have in the past) as long no one could tell that I was wearing it. (its fine) Otherwise I stay away from stuff that will only clog your pores (thereby ruin your skin) and possibly embarrass you in public if someone detects that you are wearing it.

I have pretty good skin to begin with ( genetics)…I prefer plenty of water, vitamin E, I sometimes use a facial scrub, followed by a mask and some toner to maintain the PH balance. It may sound gay to some but to me its just good male grooming in the 21st century. More men do this than are willing to admit for fear of ridicule from the hardcore manly types that believe minimal grooming is one of the things that makes them a man. I couldnt give a rats ass if other straight men think its gay. All the women I had in my life appreciate it and thats all that really counts to me :chuckle:
I dont shave my entire body but when I was a hardcore marathoner I did shave my legs (only to show off the muscle defintion in the same way as body builders preparing for competition)

I do wax my eyebrows. All male models do this and I notice alot of hip hop generation X people do this too along with those skin faded haircuts. Im not hiphop ( Im 40 years old) and although Im far from the male model type, ( still need some work before I hit that level) I think the waxing really gives you that clean look around the eyes. and we all know that the eyes are some of the very best features in a face. Its called attention to detail and once again women love it!

You can ask Rita, TT, Dino, Westla, TPS, Jelktiod or SS4 if I act effeminate. ( they have met me in person) Maybe some Metrosexuals do but Im not one of them.
I believe Im a good balnce of manly and feminine qualities because I embrace both sides without any shame or worry.
In the end Im neither male or female in behavoir but human. We all have both sides, its just that some of us think we have to act one way or the other to conform to what gender we are and so we choose to ignore and surpress the other side which may actually help us to know ourselves better if we just let go and go with the flow.

I dont use womens accessories and I dress like a man and feel like a man but I see nothing wrong with having a mens line of skin care products in your bathroom…if thats womens accessories in anyones book then just call me a woman but you know what?… my skin is going be radiant and clear regardless of any labels other choose to assign. :D

Ass crack shaving is an absolute must if you are into the highest level of hygeine. Yes they do harbor odors and so do your arm pit hairs. ( I use a razor) No, theres no pain at all if you use a mild hair remover for the ass but I would stay way from the genitals. Also knowing how to wipe your ass properly so no residues what-so-ever are left behind. Tiolet paper is not enough in my book and I think its rather crude, primitive and downright nasty to rely merely on tiolet paper to clean you ass. This the traditional way that people do it but I think any person thats highly sexual has naturally developed better methods of cleaning thier ass. Mine are practically like a water enema with soap and many rinses so that not only is the rim of my asshole clean but some of the inside of it as well. :) If a woman were to lick my asshole then I know that I have properly prepared for this and she wont be disgusted and say ewwwwwwww disgusting or even get the slighest whiff of anything less than good smelling. I have recieved so many compliments in bed about my cleanliness, its not even funny. It often makes me wonder what kind of men they had been with before? A tiolet with a bidet is ideal. This is the 21st century and we are advanced in many areas of life so why not be advanced in male grooming? I do PE to pleasure my women and I groom myself well to pleasure my woman.
