You answered 1 question correctly out of a possible 12 questions.

[EagleFan]

That's 1 more than I answered 'correctly'.

[TLK]

The hair one got me..... It'd be a mess without gel.... :(

[mckerney]

I got one.

But for those others out there who scored lowly but aren't quite sure, don't dispair. Howard Dean has demonstarted that not only do you not have to be a metrosexual is to claim you are one, you don't even have to know what it means

[Suicane75]

I went and took the test, got none correct, and I utterly have no understanding of what it was i just did or what it means.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

3 correct. But I must explain. Books: An "Old Classic" to me is Earnest Tidyman's "Shaft" and "Designer Boxer-Briefs" doesn't really describe Fruit of the loom accurately... As for having lots of shoes, I live in NYC and walk everywhere so I go thru some shoes, but I won't throw the old ones out until they fall off my feet. So there. I ain't no frigging fairy-boy metrosexual.

[sjshaw]

Subby scored a 17.

[sperril]

I got 1.

[Scholes]

3. Re-Read an old classic, the hair product one and I own a crapload of non-sneaker shoes...

[Schmidty]

A 4.

Dude, you are such a faggot.:cool:

[Ben E Lou]

That is an unfair test to the bruthas. I would have gotten zero, but I HAVE to use lotion every day, can't be ashy all day. It's a black thing. ;) One outta 12, but I'm playing this game under protest.

[ice4277]

I scored a 1, but could have been a bit higher as I was a 'tweener on a couple of them.

[Samdari]

Some of those questions were unfair. I had the right answer to three of them, but none in the context they were intended. I shaved my body several times as a high school swimmer, for speed, not comfort or looks. I also wear non-designer boxer briefs, not an option there.

The shoe thing also got me. My wife hates me going out in old, beat up shoes, so every year I buy two pairs of shoes to wear to work (one brown, one black). However, having worked for 8 years now, I have seven pairs of old brown shoes, and 7 pairs of old black shoes in the closet in our guest room*. I don't ever wear these, I am simply too lazy to throw them away. Functionally, I have these two pairs of shoes. Technically, I own 14, but I don't think being lazy makes me a metrosexual.

*IMPORTANT ADVICE for our younger members. Should you ever choose to get married (to a woman) she will want a guest room. This is so her mother can visit. Keeping the closet in said guest room filled with your own crap will leave little room for her mother to put stuff, resulting in shorter M-i-L visists.

[JimboJ]

I get the "metro" part (metropolitan), but what has "sexual" got to do with it? There wasn't one question in there that had anything to do with sexual orientation. :confused:

[Fritz]

this metrosexual thing is one of the stupidist things ever.

[WussGawd]

Happily, I'm Ohfer 12.

Honest opinion, the few "metrosexual" types I've known definitely had latent homosexual written all over them. Not that I have anything against people who are gay, but I figure to one's own self, be true. Anything else is kind of sad.

[Karim]

0/12 but I was sure I would get a couple right.

I couldn't agree more.

Got a 10 outta 12?

It really is. The term and the whole concept annoy the shit out of me.

[Ksyrup]

To boil this down...

If you identify with Frazier and/or Niles Crane, you are a Metrosexual.

This is starting to sound like a Jeff Foxworthy routine.

[CamEdwards]

1 out of 12. I'm constantly looking in the mirror because I'm a vain bastard.

[CamEdwards]

BTW, I don't think the metrosexual thing is stupid. I think this country is being pussified on a daily basis.

I'm with Fritz. This thing is such a half-hearted fad.

[Coffee Warlord]

Should I find it odd I've never heard the term metrosexual before this?

And, from the little I gather, does it basically mean, 'man who thinks he should act like a woman'.

Strong enough for a man....but made for a Metrosexual.

[Ben E Lou]

FWIW, meterosexual just reminds me of the "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" declaration of the 80's and "Real Men Don't Bond" in the 90's.

I'm pretty sure no one will be bothered by my condemnation. :)

It's really about more than a cute little media catchphrase. "Metrosexuality" (which I believe could have been originally defined as a straight man adopting the fashion and style of an urban gay man... as defined by the gay man who coined the term) is just another symptom of this "new masculinity" movement that began in the mid-90's.

[AdmiralACF]

0 for 12 here. I think the quiz should have had degrees of metrosexuality. It was quite obvious which were the "correct" answers.

Anyway, this reminds me of a South Park episode recently on where the whole town and the whole world turned metrosexual and, as such, was unable to fight off an alien invasion. Funny shit.

[detroit_fan]

I got 1 out of 12, so sue me I like to shop... here is a link on the guy who coined the phrase

Real men don't shop OR use lotion.

Depends on what the lotion is for.

[tucker342]

:D

0 out of 12.

I agree, the whole metrosexual thing is pretty lame.

[INDalltheway]

3 out of 12. What can I say I am trend setter... :D Now I am even sporting the retro Jordan shoes.

[Flasch186]

2 but im jewish...does that count for anything?

[Buccaneer]

I scored a 2 only because I misread the hair product question. The one correct was the book thing, they didn't give enough choices. How do you categorize an older Civil War book? Other than that, I got one pair of shoes, white Hanes, never go out and not faggoty (TM SkyDog) in any way.

[Glengoyne]

Zero

You sound like good company.
