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.

JLGatsby ??

LOL, I am pretty sure he is not even 1% of Patrick Bateman.

ok, i am not going to lie... i have a few pink shirts and pink sweater vest... i also have two moisturieses, one for my face and then a general purpose for my body, i have way too many hair care products (american crew fiber, daily shampoo, and daily conditioner), redkin rewind, bed head cocky and hard to get. I make sure my nails are kept (occasional manucure b4 a meeting), my hair is made, my shirts are pressed... I make sure I keep my chest hair trimmed and I pluck my eyebrows... carry around chap-stick balm, define that as you wish...

but not only do I do all those "so called" feminine things...will wear beer stained shirts from the night b4 if I am dead tired (atually wearing one right now in my office), go out get my hands dirty (work on my car... change my oil, brakes, etc), play sports beach volleyball (our complex has one), football with my friends, and golf. i just don't know... i do know is that alot of the ladies of the office love my apperance and always say how much more modern i dress than rest of the guys... its just i don't care... i go with the fashon trends, :)

how does this comment make sense?

So you DO use shower gel soap? :laugh: ;)

I do. I also use mousse, and the men's line of Bath and Body works items.

Oh, I moisturize my face every morning too. This is why I'm 35 and still have the 25 year olds looking at me ;) People against using this stuff because it's "not manly enough" need to find something else to worry about. If you make yourself look/smell good, you're more confident, and confidence is a sign of strength. Strength gets you far in life (especially at your job).

So there- I've got a great salary, stock options, and a loaded 401k because I use moisturizer and Axe shower gel :p

Metrosexuals really exist?? I thought that was just somthing from south park. Whats a metreo sexual then? A guy who looks female? A wuss? A female who looks like a guy? I really lost track of all the different types of odd people out there :p

Amen sister!

I had to laughed when the ex BF called to tell me he had gotten his eye-brows threaded and had a manicure. He views it as "trendy". I just think it's his slow gradual slide into homosexuality.

You missed the story about Ricky and his shower fun? It was a few months back.

I'm bored out here -- cut me some slack. :D

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.

taking care of one's appearance should never include shaving their armpits, wearing more hair products than their female dates and taking more than 1/2 hour to get ready.

edit: and another thing...

why are there only two choices? Are you saying that the only guys who arent metro are "domestic beer swinging hillbilly in Wrangler jeans and a t-shirt"... males?


when was pit hair ever a turn on for women?

and men have been wearing hair product for a at least a few decades now. look at ronald reagan pictures and tell me he didn;t wear pomade.

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. :)

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

I agree that it's a good change. I feel metro because it takes me longer to get dressed now. :)

I don't get the armpit hair thing either. How often do you see a guys armpit anyway?

And I don't use any haircut products... in fact, I comb my hair with a broken beer bottle! *insert Tim Allen manly grunt sound here* :D

I have found that the efficiency of antipersperant has an inverse relationship with the amount of armpit hair, so if you reduce the amount of armpit hair by 90%, you increase the efficiency of antipersperant by 90% and reduce that "random drip" sensation and a number of other unpleasantries when you're all dressed up :)
