Miss Walrus
My sophomore year, I dated (and I use this term VERY loosely) a guy who wore ripped jeans (which I'm sure he bought that way), pink shirts and used more bleach on his hair - and teeth - than anyone should. Although I'm all for individual expression, I'm not gonna lie that I felt a little weird when we were in public together. I think that society kinda excepts the woman in a relationship to be the more put together one and I felt a little awkward when Mr. Metro looked better than I did. Sometimes I just like to go out in sweats or (non-ripped) jeans and a t-shirt!
However, I'm finding myself in a similar situation again. Except this dude not only dresses super nice...he always acts, well, a little feminine. I'm like 99% sure he is straight - but his feminine mannerisms and his impeccable clothing choices are a little unnerving.
Maybe metrosexuality just isn't my thing? Maybe some women are just better off with the whole "rugged mountain man". What's your take - would you date a metrosexual ?

I'd kill myself.
I think I'm capable of dating a metrosexual.. but I will probably get tired of him soon. I think I'm just like you are. I like my guys pretty sylish, but not overly stylish. ..when they start to act a little TOO feminine for me, that's when I get creeped out.
Hell. No. I like my man to be a man! and I would feel very akward looking less put together than he did.
I don't care if he's a "metrosexual". I'd rather have a well-groomed guy than a smelly slob.
I didn't know people were even using the term metrosexual still.
i don't know, i'm not a girl so i wouldn't know
but i assume that women liked well groomed men... never realized metrosexuality also included feminine behavior.
please, metro's actually have a sense of fashion. ripped jeans, pink shirt, and bleached hair sounds more like one of those fucking "my new haircut" douches.
so anyway, being stylish is ok. in fact, i think some guys could stand to dress better. dressing nicely does not = feminine by my book. you can be manly AND stylish at the same time... duh.
however, ACTING feminine? what the fuck. that's disgusting. i think some girls find it cute, but, that's gross too.
I'm not a guy, I don't really know. Well, everyone expects the guy to be a smelly slob who dose not care about his hygiene. I am a guy myself, I do wear a lot of skinny jeans and keep my self well-groomed. I never understood why women felt awkward about things like this. I don't at all act feminine.
If I were a girl I'd love a guy who takes care of himself, I guess that's just me.
I can't handle hardly any femininity in guys --- in my opinion men need to be men and be masculine. Leave the feminine stuff to girls. :D
As a guy, I don't even wear pink. My idea of facial care is soap. I don't even use hair gel except on rare occasions.
I can't stand the idea of metrosexuality.
I'm dating a metro man right now. It's cool to talk about fashion and style but sometimes I sigh a breath of relief when he doesn't know everything about women's fashion, such as what a bandeau is. Everything in moderation.
I don't think I could date someone who took longer to get ready than I do. I always wear jeans and a t-shirt, with my hair in a ponytail and no makeup. I'd look like a slob if I dated a boy like that! haha
I wouldn't date a metrosexual, they just aren't my cup of tea. I like to feel like I'm dating a man.
my SO is kind of metro. He just likes to dress nice every once in a while and he's not afraid to say something's cute or whatever. before we got together some people thought he was gay. But I know he's not. I tell other girls he is so they will leave him alone. :P
I wouldn't label him metro, just nicely dressed. He doesn't do anything to his hair besides shave it and none of his pants have holes in them.
haha
some guys just need a cover up and that's why they date women. :P
I don't mind being friends with a metrosexual, but I'm not sure I would date that kind of person, just because I haven't fallen in love with one. I don't mind guys wearing pink- it's not a "bad" color or anything, it's just feminized. It's funny becaue even though blue is the "boy" color, girls can wear it and not seem weird. Clothes are fashion and what not. Metro is just a style
But... if someone is acting feminine, I'm not interested in dating that type.
I just go for someone of similar dressing styles; not too stylish or super sloppy. Dress up when the occassion hits, but normally, T-shirt and jeans are nice and comfy. I don't mind the sports-wear either. I wouldn't go for a totally stylish guy b/c it makes me think that he's materialistic. And I really dislike that....
I absolutely LOVE rugged men. But the guy I am currently interested in is a bit metrosexual... Well... That is to say, he has feminine mannerisms, but he doesn't have to look nice ALL THE TIME. hehe...
I'm all for guys who try to look nice, but if he grooms himself more than I do when going out, there's a problem. Overall, I want a man's man. He should be hygienic, know what clothes look good together, keep his hair neat, and shave regularly, but more than that, and it's weird.
Er I don't think I would. I don't dress that feminine, so I think it would be a bit awkward if he dressed more feminine than I did.
I dated a guy who wore make up. NEVER AGAIN!! That's just not my thing. I need a MAN, yeah he can dress nice because well... it's sexy. But if it hurts him to walk out the house with shorts and a T-shirt then okay.. NEXT
i don't mind it because i like clothes and fashion and when a guy can also enjoy that with me, it's totally cool. my ex isn't too metrosexual but when we go out, he does dress pretty nice and it's more in fashion that most guys. i grew up with a brother who like clothes too so it was just natural for me to date someone who would dress a little more metrosexual. there's nothing wrong, you might just have to wait your turn to use the bathroom to do your hair.
Baby, anything but normality floats my boat. haha.
Ehhh. Not really my thing.
I find it funny how few women respond positively to metrosexuality as if it were some sort of negative personality trait. I'm not full blown metrosexual, but I have effeminate tendancies and look way better in clothing meant for women than I do in clothing meant for men, and I'm almost offended how quickly women write off anything that is not "normal" to their social conditioning. What IS "manly"? Are not most of our perceptions of gender (how men are supposed to dress, think, and behave in the presence of women, for example) socially programmed? If one is attempting to find a member of the opposite sex who is worth ANYTHING, would they not be searching for some one who forges their own destiny rather than following, sheeplike, the mentality pre-programmed for them by society?
I don't know. Just my two cents.
Maybe.
