Are we Metrosexuals?

[erudite]

Do metrosexuals go camping? Do Boy Scouts get spa treatments?

I thought "Metrosexual" was someone being naughty on the Subway System....

The Metrosexuals are a Mexican wrestling tag team in AAA (Mexico's largest wrestling org.) They used to be know as Guapos VIP.

That only applies to the Red Line after 9:30pm ...
The Gold Line will have to wait,
The Green Line is nowhere to nowhere else,
And the Blue , well I'd only wear a kilt at the far south end (and I have)

I've always thought that Metrosexual was for guys who care a lot about their appearance, more than the average man, to the extent of say the average woman (not trying to sound sexist! Metro or otherwise!) Moisturises, manicures, gels and lotions... all the stuff that the stereotypical mans man would make light of. Quick point: Kilts have been around for many more years than Male Grooming products!

I think that a kilt can be worn as part of the metrosexual scene and maybe thats what some of the companies want from their marketing - like 21st Century Kilts?

The kilt is worn on the battle field and the sports field (Highland Games), weddings & funerals, at Hampden Park and Murrayfield, in fetish clubs and at dinner parties, on the red carpet and in the woods, in Scotland and every other country in the world. The kilt is a piece of clothing. No one scenario can define what the kilt is...

I think the answer to the question is very clear and easy.. Its who's inside that determines the 'tag'. Just looking at all you lovely folk around the world who wear kilts with pride is testament to the fact that it takes allsorts.

So for me - the kilt is not Metrosexual - because I'm not.

This is a funny exchange considering it's taking place on a forum populated by men talking about clothes and accessories.............

Don't forget the hose and garters.

I think it has to do with ignorace and envy... Ignorace on what the kilt really is and who wore it. The envy has to do with men in kilts looking so very dashing...

I'm just a young man who was raised in a traditional, Christian setting, brought up to be a gentleman and to act with chivalry and kindness, and to treat everyone with the same respect I would show myself. I feel like I'm the only one amongst my peers, though.

I do my best to look nice as my means enable me, and I am able to keep my appearance presentable most of the time (except when, for instance, camping for a week in the wilderness). I don't have a lot of clothes, only a dresser and a closet's worth, but I have enough to dress appropriately for the occasion, be it a wedding, taking someone to dinner, having fun with my friends, working in the yard, or lounging at home.

I value the good things when I can get them, but I am perfectly satisfied by the simpler things. I do my best to have an appreciation of art and science, but still be able to enjoy just singing around the family piano and reading the Bible.

I try to live in some modicum of elegance, and to work hard, not expecting anything I didn't earn, and just trying to be a good person.

Call it what you will. Myself, I call it being a simple Christian man struggling through life.

NO we are not! i personally go with the Braveheart's on this one that the Kilt is in fact more masculine then trousers. As my girlfriend is often reminding me " you have to be pretty secure in youself to go about in public were you could be exposed like that" Okay so maybe she didn't put itin the most delicate way in the world ,but the point stands that most who make fun wish they had the guts to try it.
