Metrosexual.
That's the buzz word, engendered by the popular TV show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," for a straight urban man who has become increasingly interested in appearance, grooming, home furnishings, the arts and food.
In other words, a man who pays more attention to his "softer" or "feminine" side.

Are there metrosexual males here in the 2+2 forums? If so, who are they?
Is Rick Nebolo a metrosexual?

Don't watch much TV and have never seen "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" but I'll try to answer anyway.
appearance, grooming: I rarely have skid marks on my underwear. Since reading a WW II book with a chapter about life in the US Marines boot camp (Marines are clean and neat) I try to line up my fly, belt buckle, and shirt buttons. Since reading "Bright Lights, Big City" by Jay McInenery I try not to get splash marks on my pants when I take a leak. I don't mind wearing ties and suits for work (secret is getting a shirt big enough so it isn't too tight around the neck) - also girlfriend likes suits. I never have a butt crack exposed and used to (when I worked the floor) discretely inform any poker player displaying one that he had "inappropriate cleavage". I cut my hair with a Flowbee.
home furnishings: Standard man living alone stuff. Ikea, lava lamps, bread rack for stereo. Do have a Braun grinder for coffee beans ($10) and nice Aeron office chair ($800).
art: I've never bought a single piece of original art other than craft fair junk. Most items that hang on my walls other than photos could be found at Walmart. Do like big, somewhat expensive maps in the home office.
food: Know where to find every 99 cent burger deal in the city. Learned how to make a decent martini at age 48. Favorite late night food is NY System Hot Wieners (found only in Rhode Island).
softer, feminine side: Made a serious effort in my early twenties to understand how a woman's "hot buttons" are located and how they are best serviced.
Of those other guys I'd suspect Clarkmeister [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
