Gustavo hasn't quite let us get to know them yet.
Default Re: Metrosexuality in the Lifestyle

I consider myself a moderate metro-sexual, meaning that I take good care of my body (work-out daily), trim the hairs from my underarms and eybrows but not to the extreme as them looking like women's, like wearing nice fashion clothes, etc. I am very straight and I think that the main reason men do this is to be attractive to women.

It is interesting that I had two friends in my youth (back in the sixties) who were doing all the things metro-sexuals now do and their reasoning was that women like or prefer men who look like them. They noticed that the idols of that time were all "pretty faces", women-like faces, so they began plucking their eyebrows, wearing make-up (not colors, just a base to make their skin look nice), applying clear barnish to their nails, taking good care of their hair, etc. At that time they were ridiculed and some even thought they were gay. Now I see that they were ahead of their time. They were both very straight and did that to attract women, and were successful at it!
