I define a "metrosexual" male as a male that is in touch with his "feminine side." He cares too much about how he looks and what he wears. I do agree with with the author's definition but I would add that it is very possible that not just straight guys are metrosexual. It's very possible that homosexual guys can be too because they too, are trying to impress. The author does make a valid argument because she uses examples in the article.
I think the author's definition of a metro is right on. It is just a stereotype anyways and is easy to define in a general way. The authors argument is very well developed through the text and is very well defined with subject sentences like, "My primary concern, however, is that women are also having a difficult time telling gay men from straight men."
In my opinion, a "metrosexual" man cares more about his personal hygiene and physical appearance. Also, he is more sensitive and attentive to girls' feelings. My definition of metrosexual somehow matches with the author's definition of it, but I think hers is way too extreme. The reason why I say this is because I have several metrosexual friends. They do care about how they look, and they like shopping for themselves (part of their "feminine" side), but they also like sports and flirting with girls. The author describes metrosexual guys' romantic and sensitive side as if it shouldn't be a man's characteristic but a gay's one, and I disagree with her in that point. The author makes a valid argument because she uses personal experiences and examples, but her point of view is very one-sided.
I think that a "metrosexual" is a dude who cares about his looks. He is not gay, but close to it. He cares about his hair and clothes, and spends a lot of time trying to look good (like that one South Park). I agree with the author's opinion, but sraight dudes are metrosexual too. I think she makes good points through her personal experiences and text, but i too feel that her argument is one sided.
I define "metrosexual" as a man who cares about his appearance and is in touch with his feelings. My definition matches the author's because we both think a metrosexual man is basically gay except for his sexual orientation. I think the author makes a decent argument because she has lots of evidence and shares her personal experiences with the reader. My only complaint would be her paper is a little too one-sided.
I think a "metrosexual" is a straight man who takes cares a lot about how he looks. They are very similar to gay men except that they like women. The author's argument is well written, however i think that it may be a bit one-sided. She uses good examples to back up her opinion.
My definition of "metrosexual" is a man that takes a huge interest in his physical appearance. This type of man is usually well groomed and has good hygiene. I agree with the author's definition of a metrosexual man. I agree with the author when she says that straight men can be metrosexual making it difficult for people to tell if a man is straight or gay.
My definition of a metrosexual is an urban guy who is straight, usually with a high-paying job, and rejects many macho attributes often linked to "maliness." This definition matches the author's pretty much identically. The author does make a valid argument. She describes her background and personal experiences along with statistics giving her credibility, and by presenting such a strong point of view, she proves that her claim is indeed valid.
My definition of metrosexual would be a man who is supposeibly heterosexual, but at the same time goes about his appearance and sometimes interests, the same way a gay man or even a woman would. In my opinion, there isn’t much of a difference of a gay man or a metrosexual. It almost like being metrosexual is even more gay, than actually being gay. Some other people’s comments on the blog say that being metrosexual has to do with a guy caring about the way he looks. I disagree with that, I think a man should care about the way they look and there are ways for men to do that, but being metrosexual has more to do with how they go about it, and once they come across as too feminine, they start to loose there credibility as a man, and the way the author goes about it, she starts to say how they are less qualified as a man. For the most part I do agree with the author definition because it seemed to be close to mine.
I think a metrosexual is a guy that seems to be the sterotypical gay man but is in fact straight. This means a guy that likes to shop, talk about feelings, and watch romantic movies. Therefore, I agree completely with the authors definition of metrosexual because we both see metrosexuals as a stereotypical gay man.
To me, a metrosexual is a man that is concerned with his appearance almost to a fault. He is commonly mistaken for gay because of his interest in fashion, "beauty", and overall self-image in a way that "ordinary guys" are not.
In general, I agreed with the author's definition of the metrosexual, except for the idea that they are "in touch with their so-called feminine feelings." I don't know about the rest of you, but in my experience metrosexuals are the pinnacle of...okay, instead of the more colorful (and crass) description I was going to use, I'll just say that they are insensitive jerks. They spend so much time getting pretty that they feel like they are God's gift to women, and they don't try to hide it.
A metrosexual in touch with their sensitive feminine side? I'll believe you when you show me one...
I agree with the author completley. I define metrosexual as just as the author put it, a male who is as much into fashion as you are and wants to go with you purse shopping and actually enjoys it. When a guy spills heart to you on the fourth date ia a little much and when he knows all recent soap opera gossip. Yes, i agree that guys can have a sensitive side but when it turns into a feminine side i think there should be some questions. I believe that the author put's up a good argument because they use personal experiences and examples.
I define a metrosexual as a straight man that has “gay” tendencies like good hygiene and style. I think my definition matches the authors because the author thinks a metro is basically a gay man besides the fact that he likes girls and I feel that is the definition of a metrosexual. I think the argument is helped by the authors personal experiences.
I feel this author has a strong and valid argument. Metrosexual men, in my opinion fit very close along the lines of the author's discription. However, i have never had the oportunity to meet a "metro", unlike the author who has dated what she describes as many men, most or all with metrosexual traits; therefore i could not agree or disagree with the specific details of her description discription.
I would define a "metrosexual" man as a border lined gay dude. I feel that not all men who care about the way they look and having good hygiene are metrosexual, that is not what I would define then as. They are more of a person who is just a little to much in touch with their feminine side, just like the whole feelings and sort of stuff. The author does use some good examples in the text though. Because of her examples, her definition is pretty accurate.
