An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
At dinner the other night, my date listed the calorie count of the main entrees, raising an eyebrow at my chicken Alfredo selection after he had ordered a salad. I saw him check his reflection in the silver water pitcher three times. During dessert, he looked deeply into my eyes and told me he thought what we have together is very special. It was our third date.
It was then that I realized why my dating life has been as mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle since I arrived in Washington. This city, unlike any other place I've lived, is a haven for the metrosexual. A metrosexual, in case you didn't catch any of several newspaper articles about this developing phenomenon (or the recent "South Park" episode on Comedy Central), is a straight man who styles his hair using three different products (and actually calls them "products"), loves clothes and the very act of shopping for them, and describes himself as sensitive and romantic. In other words, he is a man who seems stereotypically gay except when it comes to sexual orientation.

Get the metro sexual"mug. another example of American society's unwillingness, or perhaps inability, to embrace a diverse, pluralistic society by creating absurd definitions and labels that are based on irrational fears of sexuality, socially ingrained stereotypes, and in general, a thoughtless, mindless, unexperienced, rigged, and isolated American way of life.
contrary to conventional wisdom, personal hygiene, skin care, and a positive self image are not directly correlated with sucking penis...there are countless examples of this arcross the word. if you need specifics we imagine you lack substatial life experience.

Get the metro sexualmug. A totally hip guy sensitive to women's feelings, dress, (not even afraid to say "what a cute little purse" to her), decor, and spirituality. This man is tuned into the very core, nerve, and verve of women, noticing every detail about them, (but never in front of his woman) and loving it. He is a meticulous, fashion-conscience, fabulous dresser, and decorator himself, who appreciates all the femininity coming from every pore of womankind. He would never think of making love to a man, and knows exactly how to please a woman affectionately, sensually, verbally, and sexually! Ah my metro sexual man I love you!
A very with it man oh so sensitive to a woman's feminity, dress, and decor (as well as his own cool dress and decor)who is not gay.

Get the metro sexualmug. pussified or feminized male that is now brainwashed. He has the fashinon sense and vanity of a gay man or a woman.
Women have created this type of male after years of whining that "men aren't sensitve enough and can relate to us".
Metrosexuals, likely to be gay, are seen crying with women at chick flicks, shopping at all high end fashion shops and are extremely vain. Contrary to liberal folklore, they are not open minded and sensitive, but shallow towards other men or women who are not trendy or fashionable like them.
