Metrosexual...

So I've been told that I'm a metro sexual. Just in case you're not sure what a metro sexual is, it's pretty much a straight or hetero man that has "homosexual tendencies". By that I mean it's a man that dresses nice, smells nice, takes care of himself. Basically a guy that tends to care about his appearance. This is a bad thing?

I've always been thoughtful of my appearance. I get that from my mother. She always made sure that we looked right when we left the house. Even if we were going to the corner store, we had to be showered, dressed and all that stuff. My mother rarely went anywhere without a face on. As I was growing up she helped me pick out clothes, and there by helped to develop my sense of style. I was a Tommy Hilfiger kid growing up. I wore the sweaters, khaki's, nice shoes. I was far from a fashionista, but I always made sure that I was well dressed.

I like to have my hair cut on a regular basis. If I could, I'd have it done every two weeks. I let it go three or four now, but that's usually the longest it goes. My hands are always clean, and my nails are trimmed. I may not be clean shaven, but I'm typically well groomed. All of these things label me a metro sexual. Simply because I like to make sure that I look right. Aside from my mother's influence as I was growing up, there's one other VERY BIG reason why I take care of my appearance.

I LOVE WOMEN!!! That's right! I love women, therefore I pay attention to what they want. Most women want a man that looks good. Takes care of his appearance and is generally nice to look at. So, I guess if I'm a metro sexual for all of those reasons...then so be it. :)
