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

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.

Nah - it might indicate that you're insecure about your sexuality, and could possibly be gay.

Do you have a unibrow or a partial one though?

I used to as a teen and mrsskoorb tells me now how ridiculous it looked when I did it. If you have a serious unibrow I agree you have to, but if it's only moderate or less, do not do it.

What if you worked at an office and have to wear dress shirts?? You cant go there with wrinkled up shirts unless you have a wife/gf to iron it for you.

They should be ironed, but a polo shirt should not be.

plucking eyebrows is normal around the orange county. i don't participate in it myself, but i see a lot of people with eyebrows that look like girls. plucking doesnt mean metro. now, if you shave your legs, then im sorry but

hair is irrelevent
it makes no difference where or if you have hair on your body
it doesn't do anything

animals need hair/fur to stay warm because they don't wear clothing, for humans that wear clothing, hair is meaningless

so why would you waste a microsecond doing anything about it? especially on your face like that/eyebrow/unibrow, so what

I iron most of my clothes including jeans. I do not iron the boxers or undershirts.

I think it makes one look more presentable.

Some hair just looks nasty in certain places.

I do work in an office. I buy those nonwrinkle shirts. And if they wrinkle still, I just wear a sweater over them.

Because it's not about survival in the wilderness or staying warm, it's about appearance in the office setting. I wish it weren't so, but appearance does matter, so you've got to deal with it.

My very dark (black) hair makes for an interesting unibrow. I can say without a doubt that people (as in, interviewers) would be turned off by the lack of maintenance on such a monster if I allowed it to fester into it's full size.

The only people who would say your are not a metro are those that do the same gay things but are in denial about it their own fruityness.

Jeans...I wipe my hands on my jeans. I also wipe my mouth on the knees of my jeans.

I just pictured myself ironing my jeans, then I pictured myself walking into that same picture...and kicking myself in the ass.
