   Agreed Greg.

   David Beckham is considered the reigning ‘king of the metrosexuals’.

   I’d say there are a lot of fates worse than having his lifestyle and a wife like Posh.

   I think “metrosexual” is a stupid buzz term that someone made up to classify and categorize that which needs no classification or categorization. What the hell does it even mean?

   Metro= short for Metropolitan or Metropolis

   Metropolitan= a person who lives in and knows a METROPOLIS or one who has the characteristic attitudes and manners of such a person.

   Metropolis= any large city or center of population, culture, etc.

   Sexual= of, characteristic of, or involving sex, the sexes, the organs of sex and their functions, or the instincts, drives, behaviors, etc. associated with sex.

   I could point to someone and deem them a “metrosexual”, but I’m still pretty vague on what it really is, so therefore, I deem “metrosexual” a bullshit term and refuse to use it henceforth;) Unless, of course, I can come up with a definition or someone else can explain “metrosexual” to me in real terms…

   Sheena, I see your point.

   Click on the link above for Wiki’s definition though, which seems to concur with my understanding of the term.

   I read the Wiki definition- doesn’t help me much. Seems to me a word should have a definition, not just an origin.

   Is it saying that “metrosexual” was just a term that they made up in attempt to somehow assimilate lifestyles of homosexual males into…I dunno, the mainstream- like, “Hey, we’ll just make up a word for this so people feel more comfortable with this concept of how a man can be.”? Hmmm…

   PS- No worries about the spelling, but thanks for the correction.

   On second thought, I guess I can go along with the Wiki definition. It’s just the etymology and denotation of the word that bothers me. I won’t be calling anyone metrosexual.

    Shenna - Believe me, I won’t be calling anyone metro either, I just don’t take offense when I’m branded as such.

    Good call, and excellent addition to my vocabulary: “etymology”. Had to look it up, and it was worth it

    Thanks for commenting.
