Metrosexual

A term used by marketing to 'butch up' the connotations of the word 'gay' from the often assumed 'fruity' to garner a broader and more 'macho' market for cosmetics including straight men. It also helps the border liners to ease out of the closet.

Glen: "Have you seen Ron lately?" "He's doing 'guy-lites',lipstick and nail polish." "He's calling himself 'Metrosexual'- but totally straight."

Ted: "I hear yah man, all the straight guys I know are just crying to be re-defined."

metrosexual

a wussy scenester who metaphorically emasculates himself in terms of fashion. Think pink t-shirts, highlights, mullets, coloured charity wristbands (though those seem unfashionable now), very white trainers, distressed jeans and that narcicisstic snow patrol song that whinges on about "if i lay here". Expect the same guys to be very ashamed in a few years' time and readily embrace a pretentious masculine fad that will no doubt erupt in frustration at this current, nauseatingly effiminate trend.

metrosexuals seem to think that females are attracted to femininity... in men

1. usu. refers to a guy's appearance. he looks gay, but is "totallly straight"
2. a fashion-concious straight male.
3. and in some cases, a "straight" male... aka he's "in the closet"
4. and sometimes, can be "on the fence"; walks on the straight side of the street, but walks closer to the line than the rest...

An example of a non-metrosexual male is a male that scratches his loins in front of you.

"I was in the store paying for gasoline and a non-metrosexual man scratch and tugged at his private section write in front of me."

metrosexual

A heterosexual man who is very much in touch with his feminine side, and is not afraid to show it. He appreciates Gucci bags, Prada wallets, etc.

I'd say that Justin Timberlake is homosexual, but I guess he's just metro.

metrosexual

heterosexual male who appears slightly gay due to his impeccable sense of style, belief in designer hygiene, and willingness to emote. by definition, a metrosexual must be male due to the sterotype that women are usually conscientious of these things from the get-go.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" turns perfectly normal American males into stylish metrosexuals.
