Am I metrosexual?

Am I a metrosexual? A female friend of mine at school said I'm a metro because I pluck my eyebrows. I punched her in the eye to reaffirm my manly aggressiveness and dominant role, but the eyebrow thing made me wonder. What do you think?

My pro-metro traits:

I am concerned about my appearance. I iron my shirts, pluck my unibrow, cut my nails, and fix my hair every morning before work. I enjoy shopping of all types... going to home depot, buying clothes, buying computer parts, groceries, etc... I enjoy being an active consumer. I wear pink and I pull it off because of my dark complextion (see sig). I'd rather have a sports car than an expensive truck.

My anti-metro traits:

I don't fix my hair all the time. I wear hats a few times over summer. I sincerely enjoy working on cars in my spare time (from changing the oil to doing brakes, etc). I participated in sports most of my childhood and I still enjoying watching and playing sports. If I had a limited budget, I choose function over style (buying computer parts over buying clothes). Hmm, what do you guys think? Am I a metrosexual?

I pluck my eyebrows, and enjoy blowing money at Home Depot, wear pink, and want to own a Honda S2000 :D

You're metro. I'm considered metro to the girls at school too. Nothing bad about it, you still get poon

Edit: But I don't pluck my eyebrows... that's where I draw the line

Yes.

Especially since I looked at your picture and imagined a pink shirt instead of black.

Have you ever had a manicure? Ever been to a Spa?

If not, then no, you're not a metro. You sound like you want to look good and you're concerned about your appearance. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Think about it, would a woman want a man who has a unibrow and tattered clothes or a man who has TWO EYEBROWS and is semi-fashion conscious?

If you have to even ask... then yes... yes you are.

Have you considered the possibility that you are in fact a metro and therefore are a poor beacon of nonmetrosexuality?

I say yes, but not irreversably so.

Shopping at home depot is not metro. Shopping for clothes and enjoying it is.

I do everything you do except plucking eye brows.

Doesn't seem metro to me.

Listen to this man...he knows what he is talking about.

The fact that you are worried that you might possibly be metrosexual makes you metrosexual.

Real men have one eyebrow and they furrow it constantly to reaffirm their manliness.

So, real men have a unibrow, drag their knuckles on the ground when they walk and wear nothing but flannel shirts?

Call me a metro then. I'd rather be a metro than a big dumb ape. :D
