metrosexual

thoughtmelodic

Hi all, I just got back from a family party where a relation of mine who I haven't seen in a long time says to me I've gotten very metrosexual.
To be honest I had to google it and my interpretation of it is its a word used by fellas who have given up on life and their wives/mothers buy all their clothes for them in Dunnes and when they go for a haircut, that is if they don't cut it themselves with a razor they got to save money, they ask for a three all over.

What are peoples opinions of metrosexual? Good or bad thing?

Sounds like you could be kinda hot all the same. I like men who look after themselves so to me, it's a positive thing.

Have no idea who that is. I've limited knowledge of any Boards member really other than who I see on the same threads as me.

Metrosexuals are basically Geordie shore wannabes.

I've met some people who are in Geordie Shore and I definitely do not want to be like them.

So what do you ask for in the barber's then?

Believe it or not, I got run over by a metrosexual last week, it was called the Luas right up the ass I got it, not looking behind me when I should have.

Metrosexual really means... if you are on the metro/Luas you might come across a guy dressed in 1980's clothing jigging and coming over to you rubbing his extra-long elbow into your left side asking you where the party is. Just ignore and move to another seat if you don't like their funky bodily approach.

Interesting. I bet you're dark blonde.

Whatever it is, it is clear from the slobs in Galway over race week, that Irish men haven't got a a clue - unless their GFs are dressing them - and even then it's usually a disaster.

When God was handing out fashion sense the Paddys were in the queue for the ****ters scratching their nuts.

Give me a well manicured Italian man any day.

Irish men, you suck!

Don't know what planet you're on, Irish men are ridiculously well dressed. It's ye women with yer orange faces and moody faces that are the problem.

Honey, I don't know what kind of thrashy Oompa Loompas you've been dancing around with - with their borrowed style tips straight from a haggered transvestite on Xpose - but I ****ing rock my pale, white, virgin skin.

**** Yeah!

Younger than the image I had of you before you explained further. That word has been around ten years I'd say, it happened when the Nivea for Men came out shock horror, men wear cream.

Back in my day a metrosexual was somebody that uses moisturizer.

Now they have a Fade hair cut, a gym membership, short-shorts, drinking from a straw in a nightclub, poses in all male topless pictures and so forth. Your modern day metrosexual is the type of person to go to prison and say its not gay to have sex with men because the other person is his wife.

I'm in a world of my own half the time which is why I probably never heard of it and had to google it, funny one about the cream a girl I was seeing a few years ago was around at my place and was looking for some moisturiser and was genuinely shocked when I told her I didn't have any, she thought it was a given that I would have some :-)

A wave of cheap suits, bad haircuts and ugly shoes all scented in Armani Code... is what I would describe the grotesque thing that hit Galway city this week.

If that hurts... Aw... Diddums!

Doesn't hurt me at all, I saw some great clothes in Galway this week from both the men and women, what I really took notice of is some great watches on show, but shur each to their own, see the positive and negative and all that, glass half full/empty

I'm still not 100% sure what it means after about half an hour of reading about it other than David Beckham is one.

David Beckham is an underwear model. I suppose your family member meant you looks sauve and stylish? All a compliment anyway. We really need pictures here to determine proper answers

Wait, who said anything about glasses - full or otherwise... You couldn't even get a proper glass in the Latin Quarter.

i stand by my original statement though: Irishmen have no idea and gett their ass all mixed up with their elbows when they dress up... but's it's fun to observe purely from David Attemborough POV, of course... "And the young paddy wanders up to the female displaying his new shiny suit and brown shoes, in an attempt to dazzle her with the glare from his new swatch... the female seems reluctant... The male will have to try another less attractive female member of the herd"

It's kinda like, you now, "Awww bless, at least he tried"

I wouldn't consider David Beckham a metrosexual anymore. He'd be just a male that looks after himself.

A modern metrosexual would take a topless photo of himself and post it to his male friends for them to tell him how beautiful he looks after a trip to the gym.

David Beckham has a female wife and children.

So someone who takes pictures could never be married? As opposed to a male wife? David Beckham and Ronaldo are preened to fck football players, completely meterosexual. Oiled underwear photo shoots and gelled hair. Have you forgotten the wrap he wore that everyone called a skirt, it got like months of media attention. Not that I was into it but it was everywhere.
