But there are dark haired people in the picture...

It's funny how Maxim made this website when half of the stuff in their magazine (ads etc) are meant to appeal to that type of guy.

[Warriorbird]

That is admittedly ironic. Only people like Arkans read men's magazines for the fashion advice.

Awesome websites.

Doooode, Mens Health rocks... I get that magazine every month in the mail.

Great homophobia! Although I can't figure out what they think is wrong with driving glasses?

Although I have nothing against it, Men's Health is definatly a mag for gay men. Its plastered with scantily clad hunks, homoerotic much? Then again the national sport involves men running around in tights with a tremendous amout of "touching" both during and after each down so its clear American men want to explore if only society deemed it okay.

its metrophobia

Fengus wants to grab men. He tried to grab me, but my mommy told me its not okay for strangers to touch me in my no no place.

You're a strange cat, Fengus. Making fun of metrosexuality != homophobia.

Then you turn around and call Men's Health homoerotic.

"Although I have nothing against it, Men's Health is definatly a mag for gay men. Its plastered with scantily clad hunks, homoerotic much?

Puzzling. Get those priorities straight, dude.

[Fengus]

Oh I see, invent a new term and then you can attack it with impunity, clever, but still homophobia.

And whats priorities have to do with anything I was drawing a parallel, since subtlity elludes you let me say it plainly: Men's Health and NFL are both homoerotic.

[Jolena]

I think someone was touched inappropriately as a small boy. :rah:

[Goldenranger]

I think Fengus has a point here...

a) The first and most basic point is that Metrosexual = same stereotypes (re: fashion, getting nails done, blah blah blah) as "Gay" except you are a man who wants to fuck women instead of men... unless I'm wrong about this definition that seems to be the general suggestion.

b) This site then makes this test seeing if you fit within these stereotypes but while it does it assumes you are a straight man so it doesn't right out give you a diagnosis of "You're a ***" but instead... oh dear you have mantropy.... something we are classifying as a disease that hits straight men and makes them act all crazy and feminine (read: gay)... yeah about all I read, was pretty disgusted.


Any flames, responses, challenges to my reading/understanding of metrosexuality welcome

Warriorbird, did you hear that, you're a homophobe.

[Warriorbird]

Gosh gee. Here I thought the main issue I had with metrosexuals was the self-obsession.
I guess they've got me. And Fengus is still calling me out yet mocking football and Men's Health. Kind've funny.

I guess I need to apologize to all my gay friends and pay reparations. Because obviously making fun of Arkans (and the other guys I tease about metrosexuality, who generally take it in stride) is insulting them.

Things like this are why, if not independent, I think I hit the conservative Democrat camp.

I guess the point is that I'd make fun of narcissistic gay people too... but curiously enough, none of the gay folks I know are nearly as bad as some of the straight. It's part of a whole silly liberal fallacy. The idea that all though you have to go out and defend gay people, they can't actually be masculine (at least Fengus seems to have gotten beyond that). Most of the gay guys (and some of the girls, I bet) I know could probably bench a whole hell of a lot more than I could.

Girly men are hot. :D

The advertisement for them should read as follows:

Got Emo? No? Need some drama in your life? Do you want a 24/7 ON CALL FASHION ADVISOR?? Date a girly man today and get a girlfriend/boytoy in one! Its EASY! You can do it to! How to get started: Look around and locate the men in your area who have better hair than you! Ok. Good! Now do they swagger or do they sway?! If sway is your answer you have a WINNER! Invite him out for a frappacinos and a book fest at Barnes and Nobles. Use the words 'book fest'. And dont hurt his feelings or he might write bad poetry about love and read it to you. GOOD LUCK!
