Metrosexuals - A Documentary

Produced at the height of the "metrosexual" phenomenon, this is a documentary I did for a college course that examines the newfound idea of 'metrosexual' men. (Shot in Chicago, Spring of 2004)

Metrosexuality and being gay have nothing to do with one another. A metro man is totally straight. He enjoys taking care of himself and looking good because A. It makes him feel good, and B. He is aware that women love a man who takes good care of himself. It's 2009, people. Women expect alot more from us guys. Women take very good care of themselves and expect their men to devote time to their own body and mind. Again, being a metrosexual has absolutely nothing to do with being homosexual.

I've been a closet metrosexual for years. I've had lots of suppression that's really hidden away my natural tendencies. I grew up in a rural area, but I always felt out of place among the simple folk. I enjoy much more having the ability to free in my choice to take pride in looking after myself.

I'm metrosexual and I love it. Yes, I do get called gay from time to time but the ladies can't stay away from me. The metro life is great. :P

Staying fit and healthy is fine. Obsessing over your appearance and behaving feminine is just embarrassing.

Man up! Scratch yourself and get the hell over it!

timberlake? are u kidding?

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

U LIKE politics? really? just be honest...

It's one thing to be refined, sophisticated and willing to take care of your appearance & health. It's quite another thing to be superficial and shallow with no clue as to what it means to be deep and compassionate. What most people call "metrosexual" is just a ruse to sell cosmetics and expensive clothes to men.

i'm straight, but i look "gay" to most people because I have boyish face/good-looking. No matter how "straight" i dress, people still think I'm gay. So I just own my metrosexual tendencies--i eat right, take care of my body, educate myself, read, write, i like politics etc. i do like clothes and looking good. i like being cultured. i grew up in the suburbs of nyc. growing up in new york, you can help but be fashion-conscious. everyone projects richness here. that's what texans and such don't get
