How Metrosexual Are You?

[Fiodoir Ard Mhacha]

I mean, where do you draw the line at metrosexuality.

Is deoderant out, toothpaste, lipsalve, bodyspray, shower gel.

I've no need for hair gel but maybe that is OK too.

What are the grooming habits of lads on the board like? Do you use moisturiser every day? Do you have separate shampoo and conditioner to achieve the desired look for your hair?

I have to use separate shampoo because the woman won't let me use hers 
I shave maybe once a week.  Deodrant, soap and toothpaste, that's about it.

I'm man enough to admit the oul fisherman's handcream is a God send. Particularly in the winter. 
And as most will be aware my ongoing foot problem means cream have to go on them. 

I was going through airport security recently and was amused when I met a 6"4 20stone rough looking man carrying a little plastic bag with his lipbalm in it.

Borderline: Dying hair, Shaving Chest

Are you sure that should not be in the "Not Acceptable" category unless you are in  a boyband or a male stripper.......

I have to agree with you there Balboa. That's the biggest metrosexual sin of them all.

[TractorTom]

also not acceptable - Sunbeds, handbags for boys (or manbags as they are sometimes called).

[Gabriel_Hurl]

I'm sorry - but manbags are acceptable

[screenexile]

They are so not!

OK maybe not the sack but what about the 'ole Back and Crack wax?? Surely it's acceptable to get rid of that unwanted hair!

I'd rather stick all my stuff in a bag than have trousers pockets full to the brim - and I'm not at school - so I'll not be using a back-pack

I put it in Borderline because I didn't want to offend the legions of men who do it on the duke before they go on holiday.

Re manbags Gabriel Hurl.

Gab Hurl, this is perhaps a style issue. The only way a 25+ man carrying a bag round is acceptable is if you don't want to carry a brief case and have found a trendy alternative. Manbags are wrong.

[Dinny Breen]

I have a man-bag and am proud of it 

[Rois]

I like manbags too!  I think you should be proud of it Dinny.  Very classy if you have the right one.  Just don't be carrying it when you're wearing a "Miley from Glenroe" jumper - ya gotta have the right look to carry it off properly. 

[screenexile]

Dinny and his man bag!
