I've usually heard it used as a label for straight guys that deliberately act like the stereotypical effeminate gay guy.

I don't think anyone should do as David Beckham does.

I say that getting pedicures and being concerned about fashion doesn't make a straight guy any gayer, like how a white kid who speaks in ebonics and listens to rap music isn't any blacker, regardless of what they think. I say we go back to calling them "prettyboys", or "men concerned about personal hygeine", so it doesn't sound like they're trying to act gay. South Park slammed the concept pretty good last week.

What's wrong with the word 'poser', then?

You can be a grungy poser. (see: Vin Diesel)

That's just DUMB. It's just another way for people living in rural "salt of the earth" areas to look down on people who have chosen to live in areas where nightlife constitutes more than going down to the neighborhood bar and drinking until they pass out.

Hey, I like Vin Diesel. Not for his acting abilities, but for the fact that he's what happens when a gamer nerd happens to get buff. I want to be Vin Diesel some day, except I'm not buff enough yet. Yet. Plus, he's actually a really cool guy.

I think that people who call thesevles "Metrosexual" should be shot in the feet for stupidity. Not killed, just hurt badly and crippled so they can't spread their stupidity.

Damn, did you see that cabooze, thats one fine cabooze? She has the hottest engine I have seen. Look at the way she glides down the track. The problem is it seems like every one and their brother rides her.

Damn, trains are so sexy

I think it's actually supposed to be synonymous with "narcissistic."

Given that it's label created by that group and self applied label I highly doubt that.
