(Brainy Smurf's mushroom house; Brainy Smurf, Jokey Smurf, Vanity Smurf, Grouchy Smurf, and Smurfette are playing a game of kimps at the kitchen table)

Brainy: Vanity, you're so fruity. You must be homosexual!
Vanity: No, I'm not!
Smurfette: I agree with Brainy. You're so girly, sometimes I wanna smurf up my breakfast!
Vanity: No! I'm not gay!
Jokey: Then what are you?
Vanity: Metrosexual!
Brainy/Smurfette/Jokey: Oh...
Grouchy: I HATE METROSEXUALS!



you guys should read springfield's link. it's funny.
here's another one.

"There are many misconceptions that exist in our society regarding the metrosexual male. The term, metrosexual, describes a fad and is not a social status. A metrosexual male is an individual who believes that wearing tight designer clothing gives him social status. Contrary to popular beliefs, many metrosexuals that emulate this style are living at the poverty level or with their parents. In fact, many metrosexuals are financially dependent and barely have a high school education. As a result, a lot of the metrosexuals work at menial jobs (e.g. waiter, cubical worker, and customer service representative). In addition, many overdress for the type of labor that they do, which can give others a false impression of sophistication and success. Sophistication is a word that is commonly misused by the laymen. This word describes an individual, who is well-educated, worldly, refined, cultured, and of high social status. Therefore, being sophisticated does not mean wearing tight designer clothing, drinking martinis, carrying a laptop, drinking lattes, going to upscale nightclubs, working out, plucking ones eyebrows, etc. Again, I want to emphasize and clarify that anyone can follow the metrosexual trend, but not everyone is sophisticated."

hmn.. unsa kaha na ka tinuod.

not gay...just guys who are in touch with their feminine side.

metrosexuals: i wouldn't conclude straight out that they're gay. i do know guys who like to primp themselves but are REAL guys inside. i'd say they're the more adventurous lot among males. willing to experiment with themes dubbed as 'girly' and make it their own. there really isn't anythng wrong with a little vanity. it's a matter of self expression. not all guys are rough and rugged.
im not saying all of them are straight, though. i'd say a good portion of them are would-be gays or bisexuals who are in the process of finding themselves. meanwhile, they are guised under the label 'metrosexual'.

those are good points you raise, crusty-applepie.

You know the term "metrosexual" was created by some closet homosexuals that dress too well and appear too clean. Sipping Latte in Starbucks while checking thier fingernails for slight imperfections. They dont want to be called gay, rather, naming it something else more sophisticated & hip. You could call metrosexuals "Gay Lite" and regular men caught on, thinking that being called macho is in bad taste(badoy) and would help thier image to look more "refine". Im not saying presenting yourself well and having a good taste is gay but one should ask "why call it "metrosexual". Dont get me wrong, there is a huge difference between dressing well and dressing over the top. Metrosexual is also a state of mind, example if you ask a guy what should be manly thing to buy, he would answer a gun or a SUV, ask a metrosexual it would be a expresso machine or the latest world music compilation CD or some crap like that. I could rant all day but you know what i mean.

i personally don't like metrosexuals. while they are not technically homosexuals but their being too vain makes them on the borderline. murag mga double-blade, mas maayo pa ang bayot kay klaro.

a guy can be clean but not necessarily be too vain or move or project like a metrosexual.

they have this gigolo or D.I. persona/aura. mao na'y naka luod aning mga metrosexuals
