I'm a t-shirt and jeans kinda guy. On special occasions I'll wear a suit and tie.... but gimme a break with all this fashion crap. If you read Cosmo than something is wrong with you.

QFT. This metro crap is reactionary for guys who have lost sight of anything remotely akin to manliness, and its ranks are filled with girl-failed virgins who think that since gay guys get on so well with girls, if they can mirror them they'll do well too.

Nice theory... never occurred. But it does sound plausible, seeing as how gay guys are always hanging out with the hot chics so metrosexuals think hey thats what girls want! I guess.... its stupid though.

It's funny seeing gays repeatedly trying to proclaim the "new direction" of the male in modern society. And oddly enough, this "new male" is suspiciously like the gay male of today. They want to do away with anything that's reminiscent of a virile, straight, masculine male.

Really now, how can we take this seriously? They are just a very vocal minority who wants to use their influence in fashion to steer society towards their gay ideals. They show their "prototype" of the modern male, once that replaces men like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Their prototype looks like Emo Philips.

Like a great man once said, "That article consisted largely of the incoherent ramblings of a nutjob fashion designer and a picture of a partially dressed circus clown."

How can you say it's never occured? Are you a metrosexual pundit or published scholar on metrosexuals?

By the way, you forgot an apostrophe.

I'm not surprised with the results since there are no straight macho men in France.
They all like to bake chocolate and produce fragances.
Bashing the French is original and hilarious.

I've got two day old stubble and I'm weighing out the option of getting off my lazy ass and shaving or continuing sitting here in front of my computer in my boxers and have my r/c robot go downstairs and turn the a/c on.

IT WORKS :disgust:

I'll never buy retarded clothes like that. I'm the kinda guy who likes wearing jeans, a nice (Polo, LaCoste) polo shirt and a pair of sneakers. I'd much rather spend cash on my computer or books than on clothes.

What a dumbass study. They serveyed a bunch of magazines to pick out a masculine ideal. Some of these ivory tower types are so stupid they can't see the most obvious facts in front of their nose. It's like serveying a basketball court to discover average height. Study = utter crap.

The guy, and I use that term loosely, in that photo looks like an Oompa Loompa.

Is that the look the designer was going for? :confused:
