skymama 37 #1 February 16, 2004 Last night, my son asked, "If homosexuals like the same sex, heterosexuals like the opposite sex, and bisexuals like both sexes...what do metrosexuals like?" I answered, "girly stuff." So, how about it, guys? Do we have any metrosexuals lurking here? Or, would you macho skydivers never even think about spending jump money on a manicure or hair gel? Don't know what a metrosexual is? See this explanation: So what makes a metrosexual man? He's been defined as a straight, sensitive, well-educated, urban dweller who is in touch with his feminine side. He may have a standing appointment for a weekly manicure, and he probably has his hair cared for by a stylist rather than a barber. He loves to shop, he may wear jewelry, and his bathroom counter is most likely filled with male-targeted grooming products, including moisturizers (and perhaps even a little makeup). He may work on his physique at a fitness club (not a gym) and his appearance probably gets him lots of attention -- and he's delighted by every stare. I know a few skydiver metrosexuals, but I don't know if they'll admit it on the forums. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benny 0 #2 February 16, 2004 I'll completely admit that if I had the money to be a "metrosexual" I so would. Come on, metrosexual is basically the same as being "GQ". I dig chicks but if I could afford extravagant things for the sake of looking better/being stylish, hell yeah, you get more chicks that way. Never go to a DZ strip show.

That pretty much covers it You can probably be GQ and not over the edge. Clean cut and knowledgable does not put you into the Jacko category. I think the term is stupid anyway...

Gawain 0 #5 February 16, 2004 After the Thanksgiving holiday spent with my mom and sister, I was tempted to bring up a topic like this. Because while I'm "observant" of the things that could be construed as such, I really have no desire to be lumped into such a crowd... Figure it's better to have the topic brough up by a lady. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

CanuckInUSA 0 #14 February 17, 2004 The biggest issue I have with some of the Metrosexual TV shows is that they promote vanity. But we as skydivers (at least the males in the sport) aren't really the sort of people to care about that sort of thing. At least I'm not. I don't want to be a slob, but I couldn't care less if some golfing dweeb doesn't like me because I'm not wearing designer clothing.

skymama 37 #17 February 17, 2004 but, seriously, Andrea...I think that he's gay. *** I thought I read it somewhere. I found it here also. But there was one couple Seacrest desperately wanted to win over - the parents of his girlfriend, actress/singer Shana Wall, 30. "You'd think you'd have more confidence," he told People magazine. "But you wonder what they're thinking, and you think about everything you say." He passed the meet-the-parents test with flying colors. Seacrest's been dating Wall - a backup singer for Latin sensation Luis Miguel - for six months, and it's the first serious romance the gun-shy TV host has had since college. "I think we're officially tagging each other as boyfriend and girlfriend," he said. "It's so high school, isn't it?

Kennedy 0 #19 February 17, 2004 This proves it, I officially have no arch nemesis. I agree with Canuck. I'm more than happy to look more than decent, but I get my hair cut when I have to, refuse to spend more the $15 on it, including tip, and if manicure is finger nails, I have a $2 clipper that even catches the flying clippings. I think it has a file in there too.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #21 February 17, 2004 Quote Think Ryan Seacrest. Who? We have a thread in the woman's forum where most of the ladies are saying they don't dress up for the dz, and quite a few saying they don't in the real world either (I much prefer that type of girl). Why would you think skydiving men would be doing this stuff? Someone at work came in the other day claiming how they found a great sale on pants - they only spent $300 on them! They then spent the money they saved on a $200 scarf! Then she went and spent $600 on a purse??? WTF? Fashion slaves annoy me - there is nothing special to a person that has the money to spend on clothes with labels that tell them they are special. What talent and skill does it take to use a credit card, esp when most stores these days tell you what is cool and matches? Looking good is one thing, being a yuppie/lemming is something else._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
