As opposed to what? Some guy who when has a take a p!ss, just whips it out and goes in the wheel well of his truck?

Do you squat when you pee?

I am a man, a mountain of manliness. True manliness. Intellect. Dashing good looks. An international playboy. A businessman.

Not some ditch digging motorcycle riding loser.

You shouldn't talk about manliness when you should be worried about Joe Pesci breaking into your house.

I take 4 showers a day, so I only need to pee in the shower. So I rarely go in the toliet.

Holy crap, why would you ever need to take 4 showers a day?

Eff the popped collars--it's the most irritating part of college.

But popped collars are part of a movement called "brotasticism," not metrosexuality.

Actually thats tacky-ism, and anyone who was over 10 in the 1980s saw it live in person in 1985.

I think you're jealous of the metros.

Do youself a favor... don't piss me off.

:confused:

If my skin doesn't feel perfectly dry and clean I go nuts. I can't stand to be the least bit moist.

I never sweat though.

Well, sometimes I feel a little "metro". Changing the way I shave, it now takes me about 20 minutes for a good shave (3 passes).

I switched from a Mach 3 & canned goop to a DE razor and high quality creams. :)

So pissing on your feet in the shower is better than pissing on a truck tire?

Real men use the toilet. I believe that's called "civilized". You know, urine is sterile so you might try pissing on any paper cuts or abrasions you have to clean them out while you're at it.

Oh, this just occurred to me, since Ricky Martin is probably a hero of yours -- are you pissing ON anyone in the shower or vice versa? Maybe that's a source of our misunderstanding.

Thats a good change though. Not metro at all. More like "real man."

A real "real man" looks good even with a 3-day beard and a t-shirt.

The metrosexual movement is being replaced by the crab people movement. Wearing a crab suit, antenna, and crab hands FTW.

Now that's a movement I can get behind!

A "guy" is not a domestic beer swinging hillbilly in Wrangler jeans and a t-shirt. That's just a low life.

Real men take care of their appearance and enjoy intellectual pursuits.

Some people need moisturiser because they have really dry skin :(
But on the other counts, yeah.
