Metrosexuals Charge Discrimination, Confusion at Workplace
The LaLa Times ^ | January 6, 2006 | Jeffrey Tipton

Metrosexual California men are donning the latest in designer wear, exfoliating like there's no tomorrow and heading off to spas for seaweed wraps with increasing regularity. But the “playbook” for the metrosexual lifestyle is apparently still being written and this has left some men feeling a little confused about what is acceptable “metro” behavior.

Don Ragsdale, from Los Angeles, is one such confused male and last Saturday night he inadvertently ran a play straight out of the homosexual playbook. “I initially felt a little uncomfortable with some metrosexual rituals, especially the anal waxing, but I was getting a lot of support from my girlfriend and people at work were very complimentary when I wore pink shirts. Then I went to the Chateau Marmont with some guys from work — I thought that they were metros too — and the rest is history.”

Don woke up next to a guy in a West Hollywood apartment Sunday morning feeling like he had been probed by the entire Martian race. Apparently some of the things that metrosexuals do and wear are more “homo” than “hetero”; there are a lot of mixed signals being sent. Harry Peters, one of Don’s coworkers, explains, “We were sure that Don was gay. I don’t know too many straights running around in Spandex pants like Don does. We all had a lot to drink that night and Don was very chummy. I still can’t believe he's straight.”

Because of incidents like Don’s an organization, Men for Men, has formed to help metrosexuals keep things straight. According to information on their website, hotstuds.com, the following things commonly associated with metrosexuals are actually gay: pink shirts, Spandex pants, apricot scrubs, and having sex with guys.

“We were sure that Don was gay."

And they were right. If Don were straight there's no way he would've found himself in the position he did, no matter how much booze he consumed.

Real women do, but many women nowadays are different. First off a lot of women think they have to wax every square inch of their body below the neck. I'm all for smooth soft ladies but they take it overboard.

Worse yet, they want their men to do the same ("manscaping" as they call it)...

Don should have said 'no' to the Brazilian wax.

I could have gone my whole life most content to be ignorant of that ritual. Criminy!

It appears Don should have said NO to a lot of things!

manscaping... .

I personally get a huge kick, and think it sexy, to get a manicure/pedicure with my spouse. He doesn't care for it, though.

And I've seen other couples enjoying manicures/ pedicures together, too.

I think the moral of this story is "DON"T BE DON".

I am burning all my pink shirts and am cancelling that anal wax immediately.

The gaydar should kick in if, during the 'digital exam', you feel both his hands on your shoulders...

I like my guys to have facial hair...preferably a connecting beard and mustache. I find it to be extremely attractive, and even better if it looks really good on the guy. I'm not sure I like them sweaty, though. Doesn't that just make them stinky?

A little femininity in a guy is okay...I just don't want any guy I date to be dressed in girl pants.
