Hi everybody, after reading this article, i juz cant resist myself from posting it up.....
The newly popular media and marketing buzzword seems to mean different things to different people, but in general, a
metrosexual :
1. is a modern, usually single man in touch with himself and his feminine side;
2. grooms and buffs his head and body, which he drapes in fashionable clothing both at work or before hitting an evening hotspot;
3. has discretionary income to stay up to date with the latest hairstyles, the newest threads, and the right shaped shoes;
4. confuses some guys when it comes to his sexuality;
5. makes these same guys jealous of his success with the ladies -- for many metros, to interact with women is to flirt;
6. impresses the women who enjoy his company with the details that make the man; among them:
- his appreciation for literature, cinema, or other arts
- his flair for cooking
- his savoir faire in choosing the perfect wine and music
- his eye for interior design
7. is a city boy or, if living a commute away from downtown, is still urbane, if not rightly urban;
8. enjoys reading men's magazines...
So, Who Coined The Term?Mark Simpson, a British and outspokenly gay social "commentarist," first published the term in a 1994 article called "Here Come The Mirror Men," which ran in Britain's Independent . The concept was developed thanks to
Simpson's book on masculine identity in a media-driven world, called Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity .
In general parlance, to be called metrosexual is not to be called gay, but rather sensitive, chic and cultured.
