Tim, I'm glad you defined Metrosexual. My darling made a comment about the concept the other day. Nope, we didn't disagree...it was a passing comment about a book discussing metrosexuals. So honestly, I didn't have a clue until I read this thread.
I'd have to agree it is refreshing to know a man (finally) who takes care of his hair, skin, muscles....all of his body with the same care women have done for years. In the past it seemed most men would ignore their feet, pores, hair follicles, ears, etc. and consider gross behavior 'normal'. Okay....I'm referring to passing gas in mixed company....something my ex thought was a hilarious, thigh-slapping joke. I was mortified.
I am glad American men seem to have discovered what European men have known for years...that well groomed, sexy men are drop-dead attractive. Metrosexuals do all of the things you mention, Tim and more: like hunt, go to museums, read serious literature, cook, invest time in friendships, visit their parents regularly and frequently, frequently tell their Significant Other they love them....yes, I would have to say it is a wonderful thing. Another thing you mention about metrosexuals: they aren't threatened by honesty. When I told my darling I had experience swinging, he wasn't offended, nor did he dismiss me or judge me. He has an open mind-- and is curious about everything. I find this kind of man to be far more intelligent and whole than someone who judges first (out of a feeling of inferiority) and asks questions later (usually much later).
I don't think it's limited to the Lifestyle, though.
Perhaps it's a new cultural phenomenon.
