And when I know far more about sports than they do. Eek!

Indeed!

I think that metrosexual list of must-have music is more like a "Sure Fire Score" music list...by and for guys who can't. ;)

Ten Things to Avoid concludes: “Don’t be an a$$hole”.

Sorry, but you failed this part, and therefore must continue your metrosexual training, Pardek. < /snicker>

I WAS A WIMP. But I’m metrosexual now. My reinvention — or, in marketing terms, my repositioning — happened only last weekend and I’m telling everyone about it.

Andrew, You're WEAK!!!!!!

“1: 21st-century male trendsetter.

Nope. I follow my own path and don't worry about trends.

2: straight, urban man with a heightened aesthetic sense.

Straight man, but not urban, and as for a heightened aesthetic sense, maybe. I either like what I see or I don't.

3: man who spends time and money on appearance and shopping.

W(hy)TF would I want to spend extra time shopping? I don't go shopping unless I have to. Exceptions are made at the electronics and gun stores.

4: man willing to embrace his feminine side.”

No thanks.

“The ideal body image is natural, lean and trim.

Most 'metros' aren't lean. They are stickboys.

“Don’t be an asshole” .

But it's fun. :)

15 BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ
I'll stick with Atlas Shrugged, Enemies: Foreign and Domestic, Unintended Consequences, and Tom Clancy's books.

15 ALBUMS YOU SHOULD OWN
I'll stick with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, AC/DC, and ZZ Top

15 FILMS YOU SHOULD SEE
When's Die Hard 4 coming out?

BTW - If metros have thin necks, then it's a damn good thing I have a thick neck, even though it's a pain in the ass when I wear a tie.

I always thought metrosexuality was like what Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay did on the el in "Risky Business"

,,, it may be better in this context to enquire about a release date.

Just dug out my cassette of "Who's Next?"

As The Ox put it -

My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I ain't been home since Friday night
And now my wife is coming after me

Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so
I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car
Put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

All I did was have a bit too much to drink
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law
And now I ain't got time to think

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car
Put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

And I'm oh so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time so
I can get to run some more

She's comin'!
She's comin'!

I have an Ennio Morricone album. But it's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I hope that doesn't make me a metrosexual. Sounds like a metrosexual is more like a bi-sexual than anything else.
