Ok, so what's this "Metrosexual" label lately?

The Real Times Person Of The Year: The Metrosexual

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2003 09:47:57 PM ]

Men are from Mars. Women, from Venus. Were, till 2003. For, now, there is light. The Metrosexual has arrived, thank you. Sarongs never looked sexier than when teamed with six-pack abs and waxed chests. It's a brave new world out there.

The gender lines have blurred. The Metrosexual — he, who separates the in-your-face Mr Macho from the neologism that is the wonder woman who straddles the boardroom and bedroom alike, gets Delhi Times ' vote as the 'Person Of The Year' not just because he encapsulates a new mantra of cool, but also due to the fact that he defines the sustenance of New Age life: if you've got it, flaunt it.

Think David Beckham, Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias and, closer home, Shah Rukh Khan, Milind Soman and Rahul Bose... think of a world of moisturised men who wield the cooking ladle with as much panache as they shift gears on wheels of fire. If they are drawn to games and gadgets, make it ditto for fashion and flowers. Men in black are passe; today, men in pink — suave but not sissy blue-chip boys who have the credit cards and the chutzpah — are the lexicon of the times.

Man United. Gender conscious, but in this equal world, a person whose unusual brightness of being packs more attitude and latitude than any single individual or incident. Achievers of 2003, take a bow... the top honour goes to The Metrosexual.

Ummm....yeah.
Not necessarily a gay thing, but watching guys lotion up and tweeze their eyebrows and crotch in the gym locker room is just plain wierd, border-line gay or an identity crisis. I could opinionate on the non-father role-model up-bringing but I won't.

when thats what the real time person of the year is you know there's something VERY wrong going on.

Mmmm, uncomfortable moments. Bet you guys get like that a lot.

Don't worry your pretty little panties over it... They're still gay.. Just not gay... get it? Yeah.

rofl @ that video... The sad part is, is that I know several couples like that. It's kind of sad.

Hmmm, I thought mebbe "Metrosexuals" were queer for public transit.

I gotta pay more attention to the news.

[RADAR1797]

I saw an ad in the little Vienna, VA newspaper that took up half the paper with:


Somebody's Beauty Salon/Spa

Wanted: Metrosexuals for facials!

I damn near spit up my lunch when I saw that.

What I find annoying is that newspapers and magazines with an alleged 'weight' try to support and push such categorisations.

In other words, suddenly someone thinks of a cool new hip word, and a number of media outlets start using it and pushing this new image.

As a result of this, you see feeble minded individuals with no clear lines in their lives subscribing to this new cool image, so now it is hip to be a pseudo-female aka metrosexual.

The people who push such ideologies are doing something very evil in my opinion. They are supporting the blind breaking of any traditional separations and social orders just ‘because’.

In other words, in the near future the lines between what is male and what is female will be further blurred. Some men will start to wear makeup and it will be given a new and hip name to make it sound acceptable to the masses of sheep out there begging for any kind of guidance. This will create docile and confused societies that are easy to control since they are all messed up in the head to start with.

It’s really sick minded.

This I don't.

Society is made up of the people within it. If the people change, the society changes. It's people that are afraid of change that hold our society, and our world from it's potential.

IMO it's not the people who are changing, it is new ideas being created to force change in the wrong direction.

Individuals have brains and can think. But the masses are brainless. Young people of today try to confrom to what they see in the media and not the other way round.

This is not a fear of change. It is a disgust at the acceptance of any change without questioning it. Especially these new trends concerning gender and identity issues.
