Metrosexuality is, according to British journalist Mark Simpson, the trait of an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
I live in a large American city, and work with several men who fit this description, and they are of indeterminate sexual orientation... but one point of the "lifestyle" is enjoying the fact that other people can't figure out if they are gay or straight.
I have to admit that part of it is sort of cool... because it forces people to get to know them as individuals, instead of relying on stereotypes and discrimination to pre-judge them.
Personally, I can't think of anything wrong with men who are concerned with their appearance and attire, and who are interested in and knowledgeable about art and culture.
It's a huge improvement over the stereotypical straight guy who owns two pairs of shoes, thinks farting is high comedy, and falls asleep at a Shakespeare play. My two cents.

city guys who spend more on their wardrobes than the average woman. do the hair and manicure thing. know where all the best places to shop are. many of them are straight but are indistinguishable from many gay men. actually gay men can be metrosexual as well as it has nothig to do with sexuality.
you know how they will refer to a woman as a 'princess' because she always has to have the best clothes, 4 inch heels, and will spend her last dime on new make up and the latest jewlery? a metrosexual is the male version of that.

A straight guy who likes to shave, cares about his looks, pamper himself etc. A man who like to take care of himself but does in a way that most females would do. But he's 100% straight.

Someone, usually straight, that has a high standard of grooming and hygiene and a good sense of fashion. A high maintenance straight.

I like forrester's answer. I had an idea but wasn't sure myself. And I agree with her on the improvement point.
