The term metrosexual became
known to many in the 1990’s. This after Mark Simpson invented the word to refer
to men who are “narcissistic with self-conscious kind of masculinity
produced by film, advertising and glossy magazines”. Nowadays, many are using it to describe urban
gentlemen who are interested in fashion and grooming. These gentlemen are not
homosexuals. They are just stylish chaps often seen in the metropolitan and not
in the countryside.
Metrosexuals do spend a long
time taking a bath and grooming themselves. As they want to look good in front
of everybody, they pick their clothes, shoes, accessories and scent well. According
to some surveys, metrosexuals are leading to the birth of high-maintenance and
less masculine men. Most women find this alarming because these men are
becoming attention-huggers in a relationship. Thus, they are more difficult to
manage and depend on.
How do you know whether your boyfriend or husband is a metrosexual? Take a look at the following points.
- He sulks when things don’t happen as he wanted.
- He needs to be told “I love you” repeatedly.
- He wants you to return calls, emails, private messages or text messages ASAP.
- He is constantly looking at the mirror and styling his hair.
- He wants the house spic and span at all times.
- He likes everything branded and expensive.
- He dislikes camping, using the public transportation or doing dirty work.
