Various organs of the press have been treating 'metrosexuals' as an exciting new phenomenon. The name may be new, but the thing has been around for decades. Two words: Frasier, Niles.
Posted by Dr. Weevil at November 03, 2003 07:07 AMI'm not sure. Niles isn't quite pretty-boy-homosexual-seeming enough, I think. (Rather than, of course, some other sort of homosexual stereotype, since Metrosexual refers to that particular sort of look).
I mean, would Niles ever wear a mesh shirt?
I can't manage to clearly express the differences better than that previous question, but it seems certain (in my estimation, at any rate), that Niles is not a metrosexual. (Perhaps it's the way he has no idea at all of "cool"? Metrosexuals have to have that, right?)
Perhaps Niles is more of a dandy? Tricky.
I agree: the trendy term metrosexual is simply that; a trendy term. The personality and person that it describes is NOT a new phenomenon.
Perhaps they call them 'nonqueers?'

Frasier and Niles are characatures. (or however the hell you spell it) They are meant to be the stereotypical Ivy League professionals.
