A coherent follow up thread to what has been found out about men through Men's Metro Magazine? Ima try. (First of all God Bless British Women for rolling your eyes in private while letting the men think they have gotten away with "Beeriods". You have your reasons but as a man I consider it a Beeracle!)

What is it that makes a man, A Metro? I guess I am trying qualify AND quantify because it seems there must a sliding scale. EXAMPLE - A guy has no problem with no gloves fixing a greasy car engine. Immediately after he scrubs deeply including
digging under fingernails. Does filing and moisturizing send the Metro Scale back to the right of zero?

"MY Oh $#!+ I might be Metro Moment": "The Bourne Identity" is one of those lead-bottom hook movies no matter how many times viewed. During the fight scene in the Paris apartment this last view.......I was thinking, "THAT is a FANTASTIC kitchen!"

Oh $#!+!!!!! I might be Metro.

What is a metro person?
-a usually urban heterosexual male given to enhancing his personal appearance by fastidious grooming, beauty treatments, and fashionable clothes A metrosexual … is happy getting a pedicure and a manicure.

Metrosexual is a portmanteau of metropolitan and sexual coined in 1994, describing a man of ambiguous sexuality, who is especially meticulous about his grooming and appearance, typically spending a significant amount of time and money on shopping as part of this.

A portmanteau of "sports", "porn" and "metrosexual", spornosexuals are men who go to the gym in order to share eroticised images of their toned bodies on social media.

In the mid-nineties, the noun metrosexual was coined to refer to a heterosexual male with a strong interest in fashion and appearance. In 2003, Mark Simpson, the British journalist who first used metrosexual, coined an antonym for the term, describing those men who refuse to embrace metrosexual ideals as retrosexuals. A man who adopts a traditional masculine style in dress and manners.

Personally, I dress and act according to how I feel. Since I no longer seek approval from others, I guess you could call me a naturalist or as I like to call it - A Realist.

Metro is a subspecies
that deserves to be mocked.

Considering the subject and the PG13 rules it's amazing you get away with this thread title...
Then again, I would've expected nothing less of you than this well thought off phrase.
I wonder, would this be a good moment to say my last ride on a metro was 3 years ago?

Perhaps I should worry less about being a Metro and just concentrate on being a ride to remember. ....and not swimming through apologies.

Yep...same here May-June 2018

Two of my favorite singers were definitly metro and more .... David Bowie and Prince. A man with great style,(quirky or not) and great hygiene is a turn on.

That sounds like a much better approach, haha.

I was told a few years back that abroad they call Dutch men metro men. If that were true you have nothing to worry about anyways.
When I was telling about what they're like, a few years back now, a number of women said, "OMG! I want a Dutch guy!!!"

I think for me it was also 2018... going into Amsterdam for an afternoon with friends :)
The man opposite of me looked like a cross-over between an Indian & a hippie, long hair, wearing loads of silver & turquoise rings and similar long dangling earrings. And totally masculine.
I had an instant click with him. Thinking of him still makes me smile now. Exactly the kind of person you expect to see when going to Amsterdam!

Beach you are soooo cheeky

Perhaps this will help .....

A metro man is a heterosexual man whose masculinity goes beyond the stereotyped masculine, thus, he is not confined to a normative definition of masculinity, defining and expressing his sexuality creatively. They are secure in their sexuality, and their sensitivity, intuition and penchant for grooming, style and fashion doesn't make them feel any less masculine or any less heterosexual. A metro man is the image of a modern man."

Embrace your modern manhood

Always been cool with it and to paraphrase LW, "Great hygiene is sexy!"
(though Bowie is just plain Regal and Prince proves you can be sanitary while being SO Dirty).

Embrace it indeed. When the partying lifestyle started to wane, one of the extra highlights of Baja surf trips was the hot towel, straight razor shaves. Wouldn't have to shave again for a week and skin.....like butta.

Stateside the women have always had places to go (many of them having a social element) where, when they leave they look & feel better and are usually healthier. It seems like only the African American community has still got it right with the "Barber Shop Culture" for those of us who only want to drink whiskey or smoke cigars on the rarest occasion.

I guess worldwide there is more of that sort of thing ie Scandanavian Saunas, Turkish Bathes, etc., but not so much in the states.

(Gyms don't count. God and exercise make me nervous when you get them indoors.)

Oh, me too. God and exercise do not belong indoors. Guess that is why I gave up doing both indoors.

I had an 80's music night with a friend last weekend and yeah Prince got us up dancing...

Raspberry beret. Do you dryclean it or hang it sweaty & dirty after, Metro men? ❤

You'll need to be more specific.

Prince? Me? Metro men in general?
-and what
A towel? Raspberry beret? Something else?

The Raspberry beret, what would a metro man, (any metro man) do with it if he found it on his bedroom floor the morning after a night of 'dancing'? Dry clean it or not?

I am just waffling, ignore me lol.

Could be worse. Charlie must now be in his 80s, still riding on the MTA and can't get off ("The MTA Song", The Kingston Trio, 1959)
