Hey, I haven't got anything against gay people, or straight people who have a better fashion sense than I have, but this metrosexual crap seems like an excuse to flaunt your money... is that the case?

I'm not, but to each their own. It is apparently a new trend in which heterosexual guys dress flamboyantly, and therefore help in fostering the concept of living beyond your means. This is the debt generation!

Male and female aren't complete opposites. There's a lot in common between the sexes even if we tend to be at opposite ends of a continuum. There have always been husbands who have done the dishes and women who fix cars, just the number has changed.
There is room in this crazy world for metro-sexuality just like there has been retro-sexuality for a long time. If Ian Thorpe wants to wear pearls and have a line of underwear with his name on it, that's his business.
Do young people wear their pants too low and their underwear too high to flaunt their [Mum's] fashion sense? Well you can't blame metro-sexuals for that! :)

Metro just means you like to take care of yourself. I have done some acting and modeling and yeah, my guy friends gave me crap for a waxing (eyebrows) and for a manicure, but it's cool when you can drop a hondo on a haircut, it's like buying a Lexus vs buying a Hyundai. Besides, all the guys I know with money are into it, the broke jokers crap on it.

I was for a bit of course I am bi as well. It wasnt because I like to flaunt money (as I have little of it) I just liked looking good. However it is to much work and have toned it down a bit. Not to mention my wife was always jealous of my nails.

Hey...Granddad used to call your metro sexual a "dandy."
Then your daddy thought Charles Boyer, the French actor, and
Adolphe Menjou another actor as "classy dressers."
Today, men go to church or weddings or funerals in levis and sport shirts but that is not to say that such attire is not metro sexual when worn as such in style and fashion.
My answer to your question is, usually yes.
Sometimes very rich guys dress like bums to express individuality so they are not flaunting their money but their strange quirks.
I do not regard the trend to be homosexual nor heterosexual and is not all "queer." per se.

I don't think I'd fit into the mold og metrosexual (my bank account is lacking)....but, hey, if you've got the coin, it's strictly your decision what you spend it on. Some spend it on cars, some on houses, some on appearance. To each, his own. There are more serious "problems" to focus on.
