Default Poker Metrosexuals

According to an article about "metrosexuals" on www.msn.com.

[ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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

Is Paul Philips a metrosexual?

Is Mason Malmuth, who is knowledgeable enough about home furnishings and interior decorating to mention "earth tones" colored furniture in a recent thread, a metrosexual?

Is Rick Niebolo a metrosexual?

Are Boris and Ed Miller metrosexuals?

How about Clarkmeister, Dynasty, and Alan Schoonmaker?

Which ones of the WSOP 2004 final table finishers are metrosexuals?

Clearly, Eskimo and Brad Daugherty are not metrosexuals. Neither are Doyle Brunson and Phil Hellmuth, yet it seems like they're moving in that direction. Sam Farha looks very metrosexual on the surface but he may not be. Tomer Benvenisti, on the otherhand, may not look like a metrosexual on the outside but this well travelled gentleman may actually be a flaming metrosexual on the inside.

Is metrosexuality consistent with the stereotypical poker player's cowboy/mafia image? Should it be encouraged?

Those shoes totally don't match your pants. Do you see why?

Gonores and all of those guys who kept talking about $200 jeans in a thread a few weeks ago clearly are at least latent metrosexuals.

I just put him (Daniel) in the metro category cause of his highlighted hair and good manners.

You would be quite surprused how intimidating you can be if you are well dressed at the poker table.
