If a guy's eyebrows look better than mine, well..that is such a no no!

i hate it when guys have shaped eyebrows, i mean taking care of the unibrow and such is ok, but the whole arch thing, ew!

i mean dont get me wrong, my husband is style conscious and will get the occasional mani/pedi, but nothing borderline gay.

I can appreciate the aesthetic, but no thanks. Do not want.

Big turn off. I can't stand a man who looks in the mirror more than I do.

I like a guy to take care of themself - no uni-brows, nose hairs, fresh hair-cut and smelling nice - but I don't want them spending more time in the bathroom then me!

No no no and NO.

I like my man to wear cologne, but it smells SO MUCH BETTER when the cologne lingers after his ball game and he's sweaty and stinky....it smells like HIM...mmmm....nothing better!

and i dont mind when he's all smelly and hairy...who cares???

he's a MAN! he should be dirtier than me

What could be arousing about a man who has feminine tendencies. I don't know if this is a trend or just the media's way of influencing men to become bi-sexual. I hate it..."Where is my John Wayne?"

I definitely want my man to take care of himself and I want him to look groomed. But some things just go too far...one of my close guy friends called me at 2 am one night freaking out because he thought he found a stretch mark. He wanted me to help him find products online to help eliminate it, and he kept saying how depressed he was that he has a stretch mark. Well, after 2 days, the damn thing disappeared, it turned out to be something else! In the meantime he had spent hundreds of dollars on purchasing products online. Oh, another thing he did was laser the hair inbetween his eyebrows. LOL.

I'm not keen on it personally, I like a man to wash and wear clean clothes, but I think a lot of guys are taking it a bit further. One of my friends used to work part time at a ysl make up counter when we were in school, and a man came in, explained that he wasn't gay, but wanted some eye shadow to bring out his eyes. She nearly laughed, this was about 5 years ago, either before the metrosexual phenomenon began or before I realised it existed.

Honestly, I don't care... As long as he's a great guy, we click, etc etc, then it doesn't really matter to me either way.

Turn on. I don't go for the double standards. People should live the lifestyle they want to live. One thing I dislike is anyone, man or woman, who is either too high or too low maintenance. There are shades of grey when it comes to labeling certain men 'metrosexual'. Not all metrosexuals are whiny, high maintenance pansies. Not all tomboys are aggressive, low maintenance butches.

Is it metrosexual when a man takes pride in a well-groomed appearance, looks good, and wears cologne? Seems to me like alot of guys don't wear cologne these days. Man, is it a turn-on when they do! Mm. Aren't Brad Pitt and David Beckham labeled 'metro' at times? I think they're extremely sexy. Love it!

6%!

I think it's definitely good when guys care about what they look like. By this, I mean, they don't just throw on a gross shirt from a pile of clothes each morning but actually care to look nice. Like most people, I don't want this to be over the top, but I don't like scruffy unclean guys who don't have fashion sense.

I actually wouldn't mind. After being around guys who are scruffy, unkempt, and have very little fashion sense all day, I welcome a guy who will bother to take of himself.

HUGE turn-off to me.

I'm all about the low-maintanence (but clean and not sloppy) look for a guy.

My vote= turn ON, but there is a line. There's nothing worse than a man with unruly body/facial hair, and/or no sense of style. I like my men to dress well, be well groomed (nails, hair, etc,) and smell yummy! Mmm.

I'm with you, danielle. I don't want him to be checking his appearance every 5 mins though. He should dress well, smell GOOD but also be confidence enough in himself that he doesn't believe that those things make him who he is. Vanity is NOT attractive.

I don't want to be with a guy who dresses better than I do!

as long as it doesn't go too far! i like a man who dresses well and cleans up nice for me and makes an effort with his appearence, i do. but i don't want a man who worries about his appearence all the time and spends more time getting ready than i do. i also want a man who can also be low maintenance- like if i want to go grab breakfast saturday morning he'll throw on jeans and a hoodie with me and be ready to go- that's something that doesn't require a whole metro routine!

It's all relative... as long as he doesn't take longer than me, I think it's all good.

My boyfriend is a tad metro but not in the sense of SOME men. He takes the time to do his hair, take care of himself ie his skin and stuff and takes the time to have a nice outfit put together.

NO! I don't necessarily want a guy who has bad hygiene or dresses sloppy but I don't want a metro. I don't want a guy who takes longer to fix his hair than I do to brush my teeth. It's not natural!

a bit of a turn off

I'd prefer a metrosexual guy over someone grungy any day!
It doesn't bother me that much

Guys just need to be clean hygienically, and not do something outrageous like wear a blue and a red sock together, or a track suit to a gala. Any excessive Narcissus-syndrome is a big turn off. I'll take that department, thank you

eh i clicked i dont care either way-i guess bc i have dated some metros in the past, but now my fiance is the complete oppisite. i once dated a guy who had more shoes than me (not a bad thing, but they were all lined up pretty against the wall). then one of my ex boyfriends was the worse when we'd go out bc i'd drive to his house and walk in and he'd be blow dryin his hair and then had to make sure every little peice was in place- it was kinda sad really.

It's a turn on for me. I think most of us are taking the word "metro" to mean the extreme end of it. i.e. Guys who wax their brows. A man who knows how to dress is and takes cares of his appearance...It's all good. I like the guy to be able to dress down and to dress to the nines without my help.

Total Turn-Off! That is unless you're David Beckham!

SORRY...YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS....MAKE A CHOICE...

huge turn off

I'd rather have a guy who takes care of himself and makes himself presentable than a sloppy guy who I always have to dress and double check his appearance before we go into public.

Luckily my man knows how to dress so he ALWAYS looks good...now he doesn't need to pluck his eyebrows or anything, but he does his hair and takes care of his skin and trims what needs to be trimmed (facial hair when he grows his stubble in, nose hair, etc)...
And it doesn't take long...maybe 10 mins top for him to shower, trim, and do his hair...and if you include dressing himself, total is about 15 mins......I take an hour LOL

I said turn on. I don't think guys should be doing there eyebrows etc. etc., but really, I think its stupid that girls do those things too.... I think guys and girls should both have a good medium. I love guys that are fashionable and can take care of their appearance. It makes me mad that so many guys expect girls to always look perfect, hair done, make-up, perfect super sexy clothes etc. etc., the list goes on...but then they think its ok to look like they just woke up out of a pig pen. Umm...double standard!? And gross scraggly guys turn me off. If I'm going to look nice and fashionable and put together, then I want someone beside me to complement that look, not drag me down with them (b/c they look bad.).

I also just wanted to add in, that I don't like people that obsess over how they look when they go out, having everything perfectly in place, but that goes for guys and girls.

I appreciate when my man takes the time to look good.
But he does not spend as much time in the mirror as me, and if he did, that would freak me out.

HA, OMG I CANT BELIEVE MOST PEOPLE SAY ITS A TURN OFF!!!!
A GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO DRESS AND TAKES PRIDE IN HOW HE LOOKS IS A must!

I used to think metrosexual men were incredibly sexy. But I think that's because I hated the alternative--men who would wear shirts with holes, had BO and didn't take a shower for days. Then, I started seeing how annoying it was to see a man take longer to get ready than me, and is always conscious about me messing up his hair or getting his shirt wrinkled, and it became an instant turn off. I like men who wear clean clothes and takes frequent showers, but I won't ask for more than that.

I just like a clean man who smells nice! Jeans and a t-shirt with an occasional dress shirt is fine by me! I could never date a man who wore dress shoes and dress shirts every day (other than for work). Maybe its because my style is so casual. My bf takes care of the unibrow (though it took him almost a year of dating to admit that he plucks it himself) and once in a while asks me to cover up a small pimple with my makeup if one happens to appear in a really obvious place (ie the middle of his chin or the end of his nose, but he seems extremely embarassed) and that is fine by me! I wouldn't call him a metro, just image conscious.

Sun_sun - you're answer is inept on so many levels!! - There is no 'borderline gay', since either you are or you're not. Gay, as in queer, as in homosexual, is the state where someone has a sexual preference for those of the same sex be they male or female. I am sure you have heard that before, I am simply putting it down here so that perhaps you'll allow an idea to penetrate what I'm sure is a head well protected by the latest and most fashionable of haircuts, a guys eyebrows, eyeliner or high-heel boot wearing or his good sense of personal grooming have absolutely nothing to do with this at all. As a matter of fact I am much more into preening than any of my 'gay' mates are, I am in banking and my best mate who is 'gay' happens to be a stereotypical truck driver.
You really need up reboot your hard drive because you're still running on ms dos. I suppose that the fact that that 'gay' market has 30% of the voting power in this country (UK) means nothing to you at all either.
I for one am really glad that the 'gay' sector has paved the way for affluent out-going males to take an interest in fashion, expressing ourselves by make-up, a keen use of intellect and colour. I mean what do you want a brain-dead smelly trogladite who will actually make you capable of feeling in some way beautiful?
Shut up, I mean like you must be like so Paris Hilton and stuff. Like who are your friends, Hydrogen and Peroxide? What do they do for a living?

I think many people don't know the difference between a 'metro' and a self-obsessed idiot. One takes good care of himself (and if I am anything to go by the same applies in most aspects of his life) both physically and mentally, enjoys looking good; firstly for himself, so that he feels good too, also we do it to make the effort for our better halves.
We understand how much effort you put in, always doing your hair, or keeping up with the trends like some obsessed fashionista, getting some new and adventurous piece from a lingerie store so that you feel sexy and look amazing, I think I speak for the 'metro' population when I say we are very much visual animals and simply want to return the favour - feeling sexy and looking sexy for you - yes that is right - not just our homosexual cousins that can talk about their feelings. The male of the species might not like to speak as much as the female but then do you really ever give us the chance? - A comment made me laugh - about how you feel when you are waiting for a guy to get ready saying that:
'Then, I started seeing how annoying it was to see a man take longer to get ready than me, and is always conscious about me messing up his hair or getting his shirt wrinkled, and it became an instant turn off.' - silverlining (see above)
Please tell me that you also see the irony in what you said? I hope there was a sarcastic tone in your head when you had that thought? No, well just in case I'll explain 'You have just described what women are like with guys day in day out and again for .... well ... forEVER.... - Thus I quote 'it became an instant turn off' - you need to take a very long hard look in the mirror or by the sounds of things poor you, you'd not get the chance to look at it - well buy another?

As for the second - the self-obsessed idiot - well be it male, female, young, old, a modern Adonis gifted by the gods with blinding beauty or a hideous creature on whom tests would be needed to confirm if indeed it be human - this kind of, should we say person?, is to be avoided at all costs as the only thing they care about is themselves - they are the kind of people who don't clean up after their pets, or take absolutely no interest in their children's schooling - if you are with one of these no matter how clean they are or how great the sex-life may be - get rid and find a 'metro' a real 'metro' as formerly described above and elope together to capitalise on good-times.
