Are Metrosexuals getting worse?

    With the likes of Jersey Shore and to a lesser extent Tallafornia lifting the lid on how far some men will go to look good, how much is too much?
    Metrosexuals have been moisturising and cleansing for quite some time now but there is an even more extreme on the horizon. They seem to have leveled up.

    Some men are now beginning to get they're eyebrows waxed, teeth whitened and go to beauty spas for facials. Then there's a the fake tan that you see some guys in gyms wearing, presumably to accentuate definition.

    Ireland in general is still a long way off from English blokes though for the most part. Go on holiday to Spain and you'll see English blokes with waxed chests (and more:confused:) and covered in fake tan. It's not as prominent here just yet, but I guess we'll be following suit.

    Then there's the time consuming haircuts. Have a look in London and you'll see some snazzy haircuts walking around on guys. I just would never have the time for all of this extreme metrosexuality to be perfectly honest, but wouldn't be against it either. I'm bad enough at time management as it is!

    What do boarsdies think about it?
    How long do you spend getting ready before a night out?
    Would you ever see you're self going to a beauty salon for a facial?

    I thought the thread title was a reference to a wedding invite you have just received.

    Incidentally, the thread title was originally metrosexual+1.

    But teddy changed to make a fool of me.

    I think I'll ban him.

    Personally I prefer a real man. I do more than enough preening for 2 people!

    Tallafornia/TOWIE etc. They're not men, they're caricatures


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    nah, I like my men like I like my stereotypical lesbians - manly.

    Put a few rashers in your pocket and some dogs might.

    They are a subculture thankfully and in a minority. Plus it's nothing new, Greeks and Romans have been having baths for centuries!

    I think they mostly look ridiculous to be honest. But there is definately a lot of very sexy women who love it. Just take a look at the shows (if you can hold down the puke).

    "Did you ever think there was more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"

    nah, I like my men like I like my stereotypical lesbians - manly.

    I always thought that was so selfish of butch lesbians being so hairy down below for their partner. It would be more like flossing

    takes all sorts I suppose, :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 CongressTart


    what's the +1 about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    what's the +1 about?
    The new breed of metros who are taking it to the next level.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,025 ✭✭✭grindle


    Takes too much time. There isn't enough time. Why waste time?
    This applies to girls as well, but I understand why the dog-roughers would want to preen/face-replace.
    THERE'S NO TIIIME!!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,533 ✭✭✭the keen edge


    Metrosexuals.

    Are those the chaps that have Man Crushes on each other?
    Never did quite understand the whole Man Crush thing, something a bit gay about it.

    I moisturise, but besides that I only do the usual, besides shave, haven't shaved in about a month. :D

    I deadlift so I can intimated people by asking them how much they weigh and telling them I can deadlift them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I don't spend all my time eyeing up men so I can't say I've noticed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,032 ✭✭✭Feisar

    Ah I knew I'd get called out!

    Just back from the gym, pulled 170 for 3, was going for 5 . Sickened :mad:
