[edit] Etymology discussion


Various Web references attribute the creation of the word to Mark Simpson in an article in The Independent in 1994.


The promotion of metrosexuality was left to the men's style press, magazines such as The Face, GQ, Esquire, Arena and FHM, the new media which took off in the Eighties and is still growing (GQ gains 10,000 new readers every month). They filled their magazines with images of narcissistic young men sporting fashionable clothes and accessories. And they persuaded other young men to study them with a mixture of envy and desire.





Some people said unkind things. American GQ, for example, was popularly dubbed 'Gay Quarterly'. Little wonder that all these magazines — with the possible exception of The Face — address their metrosexual readership as if none of them were homosexual or even bisexual. —Mark Simpson, ';Here come the mirror men'; The Independent, November 15, 1994 - Source - Wordspy article





Mark Simpson confirmed the attribution in this 2003 web article.

Raised to greater UK public awareness by Channel 4 program Metrosexuality in Feb 2001


Raised to American and Global public awareness by Mark Simpson in July 2002 in an article for the US based web site Salon.com.





[edit] Definition discussion


Mark Simpson's own definition of 2002 is ';The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis -- because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modelling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.';


But in his 2003 commentary on the 1994 creation, Mark says ';Truth is, I was not being entirely serious when I first wrote about metrosexuality back in 1994, shortly after the publication of my book about contemporary masculine identity, ‘Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity’. That’s to say, when I wrote about how male metrosexuality was coming out of the closet and taking over the world, I was being slightly satirical about the effect of consumerism and media proliferation, particularly glossy men’s magazines, on traditional masculinity. But then, this wouldn’t be the first time a satire on consumerism was appropriated by consumerism to hasten the process it sought to critique.';

No, it justs make you Lucky to have a wife like that!
It's more common than you might think. And no, a real metro would know it's spelled 'manicure' and would be asking about clear nail polish vs. buffing.
LOL.. not at all. It means she loves you and she wants you to look nice...








Also probably a good sign that your feet don't stink as much as most men =P
no, it makes you whipped! If you went to a salon to have them done and you wanted to have them done you would be metrosexual.
Metrosexual no. Metrosensual maybe.





Hmmmm. Manicure... man-i-cure? If it's something you both benefit from, then this only makes your world a better, cleaner place. Besides, didn't your mother always tell you that a person's hands, especially their nails, are an indication of the person?





I once had a friend whose boyfriend trimmed her toenails. With the money they saved on pedicures, they bought a better house. Neither of them were ';Metrosexual';.





... But, what colour polish though; does it match your outfits or your eye colour?
not at all! i like to do the same thing for my fiance i just like him to look clean n fresh to death in every way. i can stand to c a man with nasty feet n nails so just enjoy it!
no, it makes you clean and well groomed
Yes, it does make you ';Metrosexual'; in the true sense in which that term was conjured. But you should be proud! That term ';Metrosexual'; is a term made up by a bunch of fat, ugly, lazy, bad hair wearing, nasty grill sportin', wife beater wearin', guys who drink beer while balancing their pizza on their beer bellies, belching and farting all the while! So GO ON WIT YUR BAD SELF!!!! Let's all thank the Lord for Metrosexuals! My man is one, too!
