    Paul Galvin springs to mind. The type that dresses in effeminate clothing, spends more time in the bathroom than the average woman and uses face cream and the like. What is the point like? surely life is too short?

    I think we need EdenHazard to answer this.

    There is a fine line between looking good and extreme vanity.

    I personally don't find that look attractive, but plenty of other women do!

    As long as they don't tell me how to dress, they can wear pink tutus and fake tan for all I care.

    Metrosexuality was parodied in an episode of South Park

    Skinny jeans is something I'll never be able to condone.

    I had to look up who Paul Galvin was. He looks like Ahmadinejad collided with the back end of a bus? That's supposed to be what "metrosexual" looks like, or is it someone else?

    I don't get why Irish men in particular are so frightened of something as simple as looking after your appearance?

    Is it a look?

    Is it a feel.

    Is it a smell?

    Is it a... sensation

    Paul Galvin isn't metrosexual. He's A. a GAA player and B. from Kerry. It's impossible.

    I am deeply attracted to rapid-transit systems, particularly in urban areas.

    I should be allowed to get married to one.

    Agreed. Nothing wrong with having a bit of pride in your appearance, and it doesn't even look like this guy does :pac:

    Not attracted to metrosexual men myself but what's the problem? How does it affect you OP? Couldn't care less what people do in their own time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Jimmy Garlic

    He has handbags and all sorts of stuff.

    There's taking pride in your appearance and there's this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    Life is too short to be worrying about peoples beauty regimes. Leave em off.

    Better than using pubes as toothfloss all the same.

    Personally it doesn't affect me at all. I just think it is very vain and narcissistic.

    Do you feel the same way about women who take care of their appearance?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,430 ✭✭✭Ilik Urgee


    Why wouldn't a man feel good about how he looks?
    Not my kettle of fish(in that I already look good:rolleyes:) but if you fancy it go for it

    You want to marry a train?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Do you take some of the E45 you rub on your nuts and apply it to your face?

    That is it's transition to facecream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    So I'm in town today and I see this guy who looks like he just got out of bed (and not in a cool, intentional way). The guy had his bootcut, worn jeans on, an old Ireland tracksuit jacket over a fairly tired looking t-shirt. The skin on his face was all cracked and clearly in need of a bit of moisturiser, he just looked generally disheveled but this is exactly the same kind of person who will be complaining about somebody wearing chinos or skinny jeans, who might wear designer clothes, a scarf and who generally has pride in their appearance. I don't understand what's wrong with that. I'd much rather look good.

    Nothing wrong with putting some time and effort into cultivating an image, it's all part of presenting your identity so to hell with what anyone else thinks. Goth guys spend far more time on their make-up and hair than any metrosexual. I think eyeliner looks good on guys and pink shirts are ridiculous, but I'm well aware plenty of people would disagree, so what does it matter?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    I would consider myself metrosexual.

    There's just something about the ICE's shiny white exterior, that pointed front, the speed... I usually have to bring spare underwear when I go on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    Sure the wind would skin us, and thats only after we've stripped our face with a fcuking blade...

    is a little protective balm not in order.. indeed moreso, than the wimminz?!
