The Metrosexual Man - Continued
Previous Page
Food
Food, in the context of the metrosexual man, is more than just picking something to eat in a
restaurant. The metrosexual man makes an effort to learn a little about the various aspects of food and dining. He knows enough about
wine to order appropriately depending on the entrée, he knows how to cope with extended place settings, and he learns enough about
cooking to be able to prepare at least a passable meal when needed.
Of course, it also encompasses restaurant etiquette, how to order appropriately, the
difference between a maitre’d and a sommelier, and proper tipping protocols. Then there’s nutrition, making healthy food choices, and
balancing your diet, according to your nutritional needs.
Popular Culture
This is probably the most varied subject to be dealt with by the metrosexual man, and it will
mean different things to different men, depending on their areas of interest. Pop culture encompasses EVERYTHING that interests and
entertains us, from professional sports to music, movies and theater. It can include art museums or dance clubs.
It can quite literally be anything at which we choose to spend our time: collecting coins,
stamps, or other objects; drawing; sketching; photography; writing; playing music; reading; going to movies or theatre; or whatever
pursuits stimulate us creatively.
Home Décor
Finally, the area of the home is another big part of the metrosexual man’s focus. He strives
to be organized and to create a comfortable space in which to live and especially to entertain guests. The home décor should always
reflect the personality and taste of the individual who lives there and doesn’t have to be something created specifically by the
metrosexual man. Instead he can have his home space decorated for him, so long as the finished design relates to his personality and
sense of style.
In many cases, the home’s décor also includes the presence of all the newest technologies for
home entertainment and personal living. These days, most metrosexuals’ homes would be incomplete without mp3 stereo units, flat-screen
HDTV, DVR systems, and home theatre sound systems.
The Wrap-up
The bottom line is that while the metrosexual man does place emphasis and attention on all
these areas of his life, he may not be expert in these subjects. The point is that he tries. He cares about his appearance and
lifestyle, and although he may fall short of the ideals and goals he sets for himself, he makes the effort and that in and of itself
makes him more appealing to many women.
In many cases, the metrosexual man has learned that giving attention and focus to his grooming
habits, dining and to cultural endeavors doesn’t negate his masculinity. If anything, it strengthens his ability to identify with
others and the effort involved in looking good, and being a well-rounded individual.
