How Metrosexual Are You?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

And if Jack Bauer can carry a man-bag - then it's perfectly acceptable for any other man in the world to carry one

[ziggysego]

Until I do, it ain't acceptable!

[Croí na hÉireann]

Speaking of manbags, I want to get a carry on bag for short breaks away and the likes that isn't one of them yokes with wheels and extendable handle that makes u look like a trolley dolley. Any suggestions???

[screenexile]

Get a good O'Neill's kitbag from your club... for real men who need to carry a bag on Holidays!

That's what I have been using but I'm sick of taking my dirty boots and half the pitch on holiday with me 

[The Real Laoislad]

Jaysis i wouldn't be caught dead with a man-bag....

As for grooming..I shave everyday because i have to as my stubble starts growing as soon as i have shaved.I also like to use the King of Shaves range of shaving foam and after shave with a Mach 3 blade
I like to have a nice shower gel usually that foam burst one from Imerial leather,but as for shampoo it doesn't really matter as i have a completly shaved head actually it is more of a case of shaving off the small bit that nature has left me
I have a gorilla chest and would need a hedge trimmers before i even thought of shaving it so no i wouldn't dream of shaving chest
And i like to use Hugo Boss or CK1 spray when i am going out

Does any of this make me a Metro Sexual? I think it's just being clean and Hygenic to be honest

I would let you away with that Laoislad. Personally I think that I would class the following things as metrosexual:

Straightening your hair
Chest/Sack shaving/waxing
Puposely moisturising (Not aftershave balm) as in you have separate moisturising cream for your face
Dying your hair
Wearing beads
Using a separate shampoo and conditioner
Any kind of tanning
Too much jewelry (one watch and one chain... I'm not too keen on rings either but you sometimes have to wear them)

That's all I can think of. Anyone else any more to add?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Is this you screen??

[screenexile]

Nah thon boy has more hair than I have!

In order of metrosexual (and subsequent unacceptability) magnitude id go with
1. Any type of nail treatment
2. Shaving the chest/self tanning (outside of psoriasis treatment)
3. Fully waxing the legs and body (outside of swimming/atheltics and I dont know how many of us here that applies to)
4. Using any type of specialist shampoo (outside of dandruff/grease control)
5. Shaping the eyebrows


Honourable mentions:
Manbags. You can have one, but at least pretend its for school or something. Or have a lap top in it, or at least a bunch of important looking papers. Dont just have keys, wallet, and cell phone in there, cos you may as well have a lipstick and mascara.


Sac and crac wax - A craze made famous by the reality TV show, the salon. On one very obvious level (the fact that it might encourage the mrs to pay a little more, ehm lip service) Id be for it. However, unless it was accompanied by the unacceptable action stated in point numbers 2&3 - I think it would look a little more than ridiculous. Hair ass farmer tanned legs, big old hairy belly, but testicles as smooth as eggs... Just wrong.

That had me in stitches there. Good man. Just made me laugh out loud and everyone in the office thinks i'm fuckin mental.

Thats a decent start exile but you can add the following :-

Manicure
Eye-brow plucking
Diamond earring (any other sort is not metrosexual, merely queer or tinkerish)
Any hair product that costs over a fiver
The use of a hair dryer
Any jewellery outside a watch - chain isn't allowed - they all look shit even if you think yours doesn't
Coloured boots on the football pitch
You've included tanning but this needs to be stressed even more - this is a trend that is growing and more people do it than you would imagine (i'm not one of them!!)

It's a slippery slope to this guys!

Hairdryer - yes
Hairstraightener - yes
But what about a st judes medal on a chain - should I be taking that off?

Are we calling mugsy metrosexual? Whats the consensus on tattoos while we are at it?
