I've heard this term being used and immense amount of times in the past few months.. I personally have been called one.. From what i hear, its basically a straight guy with gay qualities. Now as i understand it.. Things change...... Maybe I'm wrong.. thats is why im anticipating criticism, BUT... In 1960's TV's Were HUGE and COLORLESS.... and thats fine.. cause for 1960, having a TV was still awesome.... BUT.. in 2004 we have TV's that fit in ur palm and display redic Colors.... In 1960's women's expections of men were small and colorless... In most cases as long as he was loyal and provided a living, he was GOOD TO GO!.... Today, in Urban NYC, i believe that those requirements have changed.....This is from a 22 yr old's perspective, perchance at a different age i'm wrong.. But i'm referring to my generation. At 22 i notice that most women that i know, or dealt with want more than just a provider.. They want art,culture,emotions, and a few other "GAY" qualities.. So I like to work out, i love clothes, i love nice things, i'm materialistic when it comes to ME, i love feeling good. I take care of my body, I shave my body so it could be smooth, etc, and i try to understand my woman on every level.. That qualifies me as a metrosexual?
