Metrosexual.... n. An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.


I first heard this term years ago in the UK. David Beckham ("The" continent's hottest soccer player) from Manchester United was described as "...metrosexual..." More recently (i.e. last six months) I have heard Ryan Seacrest and Ben Stiller described as such.

I agree that Rick is a bit bizarre. His bright, white teeth reminded me of the "Friends" episode when Ross had his teeth whitened and they 'glowed' under black light. Also, the fact that he said he is not an "outdoorsy" person struck me as interesting because Meredith seems to be. In fact, when Ian asked her on the first episode, she said, "...I'm from Oregon..." implying that yes, she is an outdoorsy gal. Go figure... I can't see him making it past next week.

Don't feel bad. I just found out what the term meant a couple of weeks ago. I think that the show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy brought into usage here in the states.


-has been known to be wrong about stuff like this

David Beckham was the first time I heard of this reference too. Then I heard it applied to Ben Affleck and others. What I found odd was that Rick actually called himself that.

Rick and Meredith are not a good pair. As she said, he is more high maitenance than her. I imagine he carries a mirror in his jacket pocket. Hope she boots him soon.

I actually just heard this term this week for the very first time. I was getting a massage from a guy who referred to himself as "metrosexual." I was freaked out for a minute, but he explained that it's a straight guy who people may think is gay when they first meet him.

I'm still undecided on whether he's "metro" or "homo," but he does have great hands.

I heard this used on an episode of Miss Match a couple of months ago. Basically it's a straight guy who likes to do girl stuff.

That's a good way to put it. I hadn't heard of it either until Rick used it. I felt old instantly.

BTW: Did they cancel Miss Match?
BTW: JLo cancelled Ben.
