What women seem to like about the so-called metrosexual look is a guy who actually takes care of himself.
Let's take a common stereotype, some of which our forum represents: The gamer slob. Unshaven, likely not wearing deodorant, uncut and dirty fingernails and unruly longer hair.
Which is a woman more likely to like? That? Or a clean-cut guy who shaves, practices proper hygiene as well as wears fashionable, form-fitting clothes that show off their physique?
Not so hard to understand.
woah, woah woah... it's not so hard for YOU to understand, being that you are, in fact, female.
as a guy, my experiance with women, is that none of you ever have a ****ing clue what you like about guys, ESPECIALLY the guy you're with. 90% of my female friends spend about 70% of their time *****ing to me about how they hate this or that about their boyfriends, but they love them anyway. get a grip.
when it comes to my own appearance, i guess i'll let these pictures talk for themselves:
when i want to work, i dress like this:
when i'm out for a stonker of a weekend getting absolutely lashed with my friends, we tend to dress like this:
most of the rest of the time, including band practice and gigs, i just wear whatever is on my floor at the time. if it fits, and it's comfortable, i'll wear it. don't give a **** about this form fitting crap. i put a little bit of wax in my hair, but my hair generally does what it wants to anyway, whether i like it or not, so i don't put too much effort into it...
i don't grow a beard because it would look unprofessional at work, i like looking smart at work because it gives a good impression to both colleagues and clients. when i do my part time work (second job) at a local games studio, i wear the clothes in the third picture. i'm hygenic, i shower every morning, brush my teeth etc, always use a condom, and i bite my nails.
i'm of the opinion that when girls are attracted to me, it's not because i look a particular way, but it's because i've manipulated them into liking me. as depraved as you might think that is, i don't give a ****, because at the moment i don't want to settle down, i spent from 16 to 20 years old, in committed relationships, and now i want to enjoy my life. so when i start talking to a girl, and am only interested in everything she has to say, despite the fact that in the back of my head all i care about is that the football match behind her looks awsome, and that i bet her tits look fantastic, she doesn't know what's going on in my head, because as far as she's concerned, i'm a nice guy, who is interested in her life, not her looks.
oh but how wrong she is, and the interesting thing about that is, i know many, MANY girls, who manipulate guys in the same way.
heh, metrosexual my ass, girls are out for the same thing guys are: a good time.
