Arrrrrgh!! G/F says i’m “metro-sexual”.Why would she say that?
I'm 6' tall,235 pounds,barrell chested manly-man.Wear bib-overalls,drive a big freaking 1 ton 4 wheel drive truck,have a couple of full custom Harleys,etc.
But,I cook exceptionally well,have a great sense of design,enjoy an eccletic mix of music in my home dance room(juke box,disco ball,booths etc)and am a very considerate lover.
Apparently,some women think either we're Joe Wife Beater or "metro-sexual".
What's she trying to tell me?
More info:
multiple ex-wives and almost 8 years living the life of a sailorman.
Not into dudes and never will be.
extremely self-confident.
em,
Thanks for the link,makes sense now.

You’re obviously not self confident if it bothers you to be called metrosexual. That doesn’t mean anything bad, and you should be glad to be called that because either you’re a typical guy who can be a "dick" or a wuss. So being a metro sexual balances you out. You’re fully straight, but you have a soft side too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I wish more guys were like that!
I think your GF is paying you a compliment - you’re the whole package - manly man with big truck and bikes, yet you can cook, decorate and make love. You might be trying to see something in this comment that’s not there. She’s not calling you gay, or suggesting you’re feminine. She’s saying you’re manly man with great taste.
sounds g*y to me!
Probably because you say things like Arrrrrrgh.
Maybe most guys she’s dated are slobs and she compare you to them!
Metrosexual just means you care about your appearance and how you treat people. I think it’s actually a compliment. It means you have all the nice qualities of a stereotypical gay man, but without all that pesky fellatio.
she is probably just used to different type of men…if she likes u it shouldnt matter and u shouldnt care
She’s NOT dissing you at all. She’s not calling you gay or anything like that. All metro-sexual means is that even with your traditional trappings of manhood, you still enjoy the finer things of life. a great cook, good design sense, good taste in music, and best of all for both of you a considerate lover. What’s wrong with that? She’s complimenting you, not dissing you. If more of us were "metro"we’d all be better off, and this section wouldn’t be full of people crying about how their marriages are failing. Take the compliment. And share a couple of your best recipes.
Sounds to me like she is trying to get some kind of reaction from you, because she knows it will bother you. Try ignoring this specific comment, but just continue to do your thing!
Em and Sheloves are correct. The term metrosexual has changed a bit in the past few years and now refers to what we used to call a Renaissance Man. But yea, no overall-wearing biker from Texas is metro, lol.
You are apparently into some not-so-masculine things to go along with your status symbols of masculine achievement. Answer yes to any of the following and you should probably embrace your metro-sexuality.
1. Do you go to a salon rather than a barber for a haircut?
2. Do you get manicures and/or pedicures to reward yourself?
3 Do you prefer "Simply Red" and "Barbara Streisand" to "Aerosmith" and "Sinatra"
It really has nothing to do with your sexual preference. It’s just a term used to describe men that are a little more in tune with their feminine side than the norm.
U sound like a fun guy that is not into boredom at all. U need to find a woman that enjoys the same things that u do and stop looking for the same kinda ladies because obviously they r not working out if u have been married to many times. I would just date for a very long time before asking for a girl’s hand in marriage. Pls try living with them first!!
Metro-sexual refers to men who aren’t afraid to cook and clean, who care about hygiene and appearance (manicures, facials, expensive haircuts).
That said, I wouldn’t think someone who wears bib overalls could ever be considered metro-sexual. Your g/f must be dreaming.
That’s it, right there. The ‘extremely self confident’… that adds to it believe it or not. Its like the cherry on top. I think, personally, metro sexual is a brand new term of labeling a guy that could definitely pass as a gay guy. Gay men are known for cooking, fashion and design, which is why us women love them so much, because we can relate to them!.. So if you’re in to all of that stuff, then maybe you do fall under the category of ‘metro sexual’… But who cares? Really?
If you’re comfortable with your sexuality and yourself, then what does it matter?
Coming from a woman, maybe your gf is calling you that because she feels that you’re taking too many of the female responsibilities away from her… Or maybe its just jealousy because she can’t do them the way you do.
Just leave it be… In the end, be no one but yourself… If that’s a problem, go back to being the sailor man! lol
metro-sexuals don’t like dudes. But you didn’t mentions hair gel. If you don’t use hair gel, you aren’t a metro-sexual.
Sounds like you pay attention to the details…Not many men see the nuances that you do. That is all she means…It is not an attack on your sexuality or a dig. Don’t change a thing!
Punch her in the face and put a cigarette out on her arm… that will teach her!!!?!!!?!
Suck it up, get over it. Nobody likes a whiny man, and a man that can forget about small things is great.
Maybe you’re too self confident, didn’t pay attention to your multiple ex-wives.
No matter what kind of beau you think you are, it matters what kind of beau other people think you are.
Dunno. Metrosexuals usually go to salons and get manicures and carry urban shoulder bags. Sounds to me as if you are just diverse and complex. Labels make no sense to me, but the average persons image of a metrosexual is what I said above. I wouldn’t call you one.
It’s more of a compliment then anything, I think more men should follow that example. Don’t be offended, it has nothing to do with your sexuality, more to do with your style sense, and other abilites.
YOU CAN BE METRO SEXUAL WITH OUT BEING GAY. Its just cause you have disco balls and you like to cook and look good. DONT be offended it just means you have a good taste in fashion.
maybe u just have aspects of yourself that are metrosexual. Like being able to cook, music, design taste, being a kind/considerate boyfriend, etc. Thats more the mark of a "modern" man than metrosexual.
Oh my God, calm down! Someone’s a bit defensive!
Metrosexual is a COMPLIMENT. It means you’re a modern, stylish, cosmopolitan man.
Although perhaps, in light of your reaction to this, she might want to reconsider…
ask her?
She doesn’t know what metro sexual is.
….but if you’re that confident in your sexuality you shouldn’t be asking this.
