call it ‘metrosexuality’ if you must give it a label. but it feels more like a societal shift. some mention it as a western trend, so does this mean there are more ‘manly’ men in the east? i don’t have exact stats, but you will also find that sperm counts have also been dropping. the family unit doesn’t hold the same integrity anymore, and divorce rates continue to climb. blame feminism? blame liberalism? blame political correctness? call it what you will… but it seems men and women are trading their traditional roles. and what you are witnessing is the dysfunctional impact on humanity. a disconnect between the sexes.

The whole metrosexual thing is just men trying to reclaim the humanity that was striped away from them by degrading gender roles. Men were pushed into a box and forced to behave a certain way. No one should ever be asked to behave a certain way or dress a certain way or do a certain job because of there sex. The idea is asinine it ignores our minds and personalitys , what makes us human in favor of the shape of our bodies. I can’t imagine much that is more outrageous and evil than that.

This woman’s problem is she is a “girly girl” who want’s her daddy to take care of her etc. She doesn’t want a man she wants a man who is brainwashed into following some dehumanizing gender role. I hear Jessy James is available.

You nailed it. I think this metrosexual bullshit is all due to stupid companies pushing girly crap on us.

Some key offenders:
-Shaving companies who are now pushing the idea of shaving EVERYWHERE. Yes thats right, they want you to buy more of their shaving cream so you can keep hair off of every part of your body. Fuck that!

-Body wash companies who try to sell us the idea that if we use their products then women will come swarming to us. Yes i’m sure my choice of soap really turns women on.

Do women really want us acting like a bunch of pansy p-whipped losers? I dont think so, and who really cares what they want.

Jeff,
Thanks for your thoughts and your post brings up some good points. Just like everything else in this life, there is something to be learned from metrosexuality and its ideas. I don’t believe in changing or altering your behavior based on a certain philosophy, however.

Give people respect. Love your family. Treat people how you want to be treated. Everything else is an individual choice.

It’s my opinion, that the metrosexual is stepping away from manliness and retrosexual is moving closer towards it. But that is only my belief and opinion. I never want to argue what is manliness and what is not, if the other person defines it differently from me. I just like to express my opinions on it and have a great conversation.

I find some of the other sites on the subject of manliness somewhat troubling at times when they try to impose their beliefs on others and claim someone has no clue on the subject if they don’t agree with popular thought.

Metrosexuality is a great example of that. Your thoughts on the shorter guy and less muscular guy are great examples and are so spot on. No less manly, no less masculine – just a different viewpoint and that is great!

Thanks again and hope you enjoy the site.

After reading your post, I had a conversation with my wife about this. She had some interesting things to say, and I’ve tried to balance your points and hers in this post:

http://myfuturepast.blogspot.com/2008/09/pros-and-cons-of-metrosexuality.html

After writing it, I went to Wikipedia and found that the entry on metrosexuality has, uh, “major issues” as they say. It seems to be a bit of a battleground. I’d be interested to hear how your views contrast with this Mark Simpson guy’s, if you’re willing to write more about it, Kevin.

My wife has also pointed out that metrosexuality gave short guys and less-muscular guys a new playing field, a chance to compete socially against the naturally big muscular men. For them it was an alternative to Short Man Syndrome.

Hayden…that’s so funny. I agree. (sigh) Slobs are slobs. Men should be concerned about their appearance. It’s the whole package, right?

Virilitas – excellent point. The law of attraction is always at work.

There is a general effeminacy among men in many western societies, today. Let’s look at the whole picture, though: there are also many pushy, obnoxious, and unfeminine women who would benefit from examining their lives to see why they can only attract undesirable men.

I will always always be grateful to the metrosexual movement. Yes, guys, you need to shower, change your underwear everyday, don’t wear the same pair of pants for two weeks, and for crissake trim your nails!

[shudder] Clearly I have met some grody guys. One guy didn’t even brush his teeth regularly but figured chewing gum everyday was ‘good enough’. BLECH.

So I am not opposed to men having dipped their toe in the metrosexual pool. As long as guys can maintain some standards of personal hygiene on the return to manliness, I’ll be happy.
