Raging debates about 'Metrosexuals' are funny.
And occasionally dropping offhand comments that are likely to cause a ruckus are funny too. Oh, sometimes I'm such a stinker.
What's funny is that all those people debating about metrosexuals probably think I'm a big asshole now, because of my 'metrosexual-bashing.' When in fact, most people who see me when I'm 'dressed-up' would probably think of me as a metrosexual myself. I guess I just hate the term, it strikes me a being so corporate-image-advertising department.
Ok, so let me see, I'll make an impromtu little check list, and let everyone else decide whether or not I'm a metrosexual. Here goes.
Bathing- Regularly, at least once a day. (I can't believe that this is considered to be 'out of the ordinary.' But I guess for some people it is.)
Tooth-brushing/Other cleanliness type activities - Again, I can't belive this is questionable for some guys, but, yeah, at least twice a day, usually more like four.
Haircuts- I do them myself, so maybe that's questionable, but hey, I figure I like that 'messy' look. And I cut it whenever I feel like it needs to be cut, generally about once a month or two, depending on how lazy I am.
Hair Products - Again, with me, I don't like to have to think about my hair, and if I put a bunch of goop in it, the sawdust just ends up trying to make wood again if my hair gets wet at work. So Pomade? Yeah, occasionally.
Manicures- Oh hell no. I trim my nails when I can feel them in my palms when I make a fist, and that's about it. And generally my nails are fine. Me getting a manicure would be like asking a guy on a Harley if he had any Grey Poupon(sp?).
Nice clothes- Yes, I own them. Yes, I can, in fact, dress myself. Do I spend an hour dressing up to go out and have a beer with friends? NO. Do I occasionally feel like 'dressing up'? Sure. And I've been told that I do it well. Does everyone think I'm gay when I do? Yep, and I don't really worry about it, because people already think I'm gay all the time anyway. I'm used to it.
As for the 'girls like a guy who takes care of himself' debate, I've really seen no direct correlation to dressing up all 'metrosexual' and recieving a great deal more attention from members of the opposite sex. Maybe it's that I'm shy and quiet in situations where that's a possibilty, or that girls just assume that I'm more interested in the guy next to her, but either way, it doesn't seem to be the case that I get more attention when I'm in an 'outfit.'
Oh I don't know, I'm just rambling at this point.
But the mental picture of someone fucking Altoona is hilarious.

I think those qualities are fabulous. I found out just recently that a friend of my family's kids don't change their underwear until they're grey and don't brush their teeth in the morning. The thought can, honestly, make me feel sick to my stomach. Whatever you are, I'd hit it.
