Often abbreviated to 'Metro, the most simple way to define 'Metrosexual' is: a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side and tends to prefer activities that are typically reserved for women or more flamboyant homosexuals. He is also frequently mistaken as being gay. Basically, to sum it up, it is the male equivalent of a 'Tomboy'.
(e.g., enjoys shopping, takes extra care of appearance & is more fashion-forward, spends more time on personal hygiene/grooming habits and would rather a glass of wine versus a pint of beer)

''When I first met Thomas while shopping at the mall, I thought he was gay. I found out he was just Metrosexual though after he asked me out on a date.''

A new term in the English lexicon being used to describe attractive, well dressed, and sucessful men who are sought after by the opposite sex. This word came into use mainly by Beta Males because calling these men outright fags or homosexuals became overly used and exposed their jealousy and catiness that traditionally was ascribed to feminine behavior.

A new name for something quite old. Men with taste & style who know about fashion, art, and culture have always existed. In past centuries, these kinds of men were in the uppercrust of society (more leisure time). Technology has enabled men with more leisure time, so less wealthy males can now fuss over their looks and aesthetics almost as much as women. An American Metrosexual is like your average European male. In France or Italy, men can be manly and work on cars and know about art and fashion at the same time. They are cool with that and don't need some special name for the less "masculine" side. In the U.S. we think men all have to be eithrt dumb gorillas or homosexuals. There is some grey area! There is an emphasis on not being pretentious in america that itself becomes a kind of pretentiousness. Men who dabble in vanity or in lofty romantic concerns seem less like men when in fact, they are probably better lovers to women than their traditional counterpart.
