Metrosexuality VS Homosexuality...

I'm really pissed off when people misunderstand metrosexual guys as homosexual guys, also known as gays. Come on people, get a clear understanding man.

Metrosexual guys are straight guys who take care of themselves. According to www.wordspy.com, metrosexual means an urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. So you see, there's no indication that metrosexual guys are gays. They just want to have a better appearance and way of life than an average male. Some go to the extreme, like doing manicure and pedicure, but they all have the goal of looking better and living better.

Homosexual, on the other hand, refers to a person who has a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex, as given by www.dictionary.com. That's the gays you guys are thinking of. It's an inside thing. The gays may not take good care of their appearances but they have the desire to get screwed in the ass or sodomise someone. Metrosexuals don't. Metrosexuality is more of an exterior thing.

I, personally, feel offended when people refer metrosexuals as gays. I gotta admit, I'm metrosexual to a certain extent. I try not to damage my hair, I use facial masks and facial products, I love cleanliness, I can't take it if I don't shave and blah blah blah... I don't go for manicures, pedicures or spa treatments, at least not yet, but I do consider myself somewhat of a metrosexual, so please differentiate between the two.

I remember telling a friend that I'm kinda metrosexual.

"Hey, I'm metrosexual in a sense."

"Huh? You metrosexual? Eeww... You are gay!"

And so the explaining started.

I was very offended then, not only because was I described as a gay, but because a friend looked at me with huge bulging eyes as if an alien was in front of him. Come on dude! There is nothing wrong with metrosexuality, buck up on your English. I'm kinda sick explaining metrosexuality all the time. And as far as I know, girls nowadays dig metrosexual guys, so if you wanna get laid, get your idea that "Metrosexual guys are gays" outta your head and embark on the path of metrosexuality.

Damn, this topic always drives me crazy.
