Metrosexual

A straight man who's prefers wine to beer, dressing well to looking like a slob, art, good film, music, and literature to football and action movies. They tend to be well mannered and good cooks. Metrosexuals are also affiliated with the liberal side of the political spectrum. They often reside in urban environments. Some may be extremely girly and frivolous while others maybe more toned down. They are often mistaken for being gay, however they are all extremely confident in their straightness. Many women want a metrosexual, however many prefere a "real" man. However, metros aren't any less tough and can be extremely resilliant to internal and external difficulties. They aren't concerned when someone calls them gay. Most metro's aren't (well dressed) arrogant douchebag's either, that applies to some other category. Corporate asshole maybe? Metrosexuallity doesn't mean expensive designer clothes, just a good overall fashion sense. A negative trait found in many metros is being picky (I'm a big offender). Another negative is that some of this group are a little to obsessed with their appearance and hygiene they can have low self esteem if they feel they don't look right.

Metrosexual men know what they like, in all area's. They aren't gay. Believe me, I am one, I love me some sexy ladies in a beautiful room, in a gorgeous building.
"That guy has style, I hope he's straight," says woman to gay friend.
"But he dresses gay," the gay friend says.
"I'll go find out," she states, walking to the bar where the man is drinking a glass of wine.
"Are you gay, or in a relationship?" She asks
"No, I'm a very single, metrosexual man," The man says.

metrosexual

A sophiticated staright man who cares about how he smells and whats in style. Some people may think metrosexual men to be gay as a first impression but later find out hes straight. Metrosexual men keep up with whats in stlyle, and if i were to ask a metrosexual "is giorgio armani's spring line cool?" they could confidently say yes. In the show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy the goal is to make a guy who is 'too' straight into a metro sexual. They may have some female influence in their style, but its more of things that are in style.
P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Pharell, Will Smith, and Justin Timberlake are good examples of metrosexual men.

metrosexual

An urban gentleman with an avid interest in foreign films, fine wine, organic cooking,
interior decoration, designer clothing, scented hand lotion, premium hair products, manicures, pedicures, poodle grooming, and — perhaps most importantly — pussy.
I tried to exchange fashion tips with the metrosexual, but it was hard, because my brother wouldn't stop flirting with him.

metrosexual

A disgusting word used to describe strait men who like to do things considered "gay" or "girly"

If people would stop gender stereotyping, we wouldn't need a word to make these men feel comfortable doing what they want to do. Bathing and wearing clean clothes makes a man neither "gay", nor "metrosexual" just as much as playing football doesn't make a woman a lesbian
Men should be allowed to look nice without being labeled "metrosexual"

retrosexual

A retrosexual is someone who used to be sexy. Someone who WAS considered sexy in the past, but is presently considered undesirable and unappealing by the general public. An individual may be labeled a retrosexual as a result of many different factors. Rapid aging, botched plastic surgery, or an inability to update his/her style with the current times are some factors that lead someone to be branded a retrosexual. One of the most salient features of the retrosexual, is that they were 'hot' or at their peak of desirability in a given era. They exemplify the style of the time period in which they were deemed sexy, but today they only appear as a sad timecapsule of a bygone era.
Particular examples of retrosexuals are as follows: Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger, Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Willie Ames, Leif Garret, Jared Leto, Axel Rose, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, and more recently, Brittney Spears.

A usage example: "Professor Jones would have been hot when he was younger. His peak must have been in the early 90s because he's still wearing cosby sweaters, checkered blazers, and an earring... what a retrosexual!"

metrosexual

A straight man that tends to do feminine things that actually improve his looks, though he may become inflated at times obsessing in front of the mirror. But remember this, he claims he's NOT gay, having no desires for other men.
"The 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' show turns ordinary slobs into stunning metrosexuals, who now compete with their girlfriends to have more time to prep in the bathroom."

metrosexual

A straight male who has a feminine side (especially caring about appearances). It used to be that when a man acted like this, people thought he was homosexual.
I used to find it sad that any man with some nice traits like dressing well or being able to cook was considered homosexual, but now I know he's metrosexual.
