Isso aqui está mais às moscas do que ovo de padaria !! Tá foda ! Sem inspiração, outras coisas pra fazer... outros hobbys de internet (tipo Orkut), enfim... mil coisas me afastaram daqui, o que importa é que resolvi escrever de novo (pelo menos por hoje).

Ando vendo em muitos lugares discussões e mais discussões sobre os metrossexuais, e sempre vem a mesma duvida, pra muitos de conceituação mesmo do que é o "ser metrossexual". Hetero, bi, gay... indeciso... ninguém sabe ao certo o que achar dos metrossexuais. Já pos metrossexuais, todos puxam sardinha pra a sua opção sexual. Eu, enquanto metrossexual assumido (e muito satisfeito) digo que... metrossexualidade não tem a ver com a opção sexual e sim com o estilo de vida... pra esclarecer as coisas coloco aqui o artigo "original" (cortado com a parte que fala a respeito), escrito pelo "inventor", ou melhor dizendo idealizador da palavra (e portanto da concepção).
A propósito... sou heterossexual e muito feliz com isso tb ! :)
OBS: vai em Inglês mesmo, pq estou com preguiçã de ficar traduzindo.

How do I know? Well, perhaps it takes one to know one, but to determine a metrosexual, all you have to do is look at them. In fact, if you're looking at them, they're almost certainly metrosexual. The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis -- because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.

For some time now, old-fashioned (re)productive, repressed, unmoisturized heterosexuality has been given the pink slip by consumer capitalism. The stoic, self-denying, modest straight male didn't shop enough (his role was to earn money for his wife to spend), and so he had to be replaced by a new kind of man, one less certain of his identity and much more interested in his image -- that's to say, one who was much more interested in being looked at (because that's the only way you can be certain you actually exist). A man, in other words, who is an advertiser's walking wet dream.

Beckham is the biggest metrosexual in Britain because he loves being looked at and because so many men and women love to look at him: He's the future, but also a way of adapting other, less advanced specimens to that future. More to the point, he sucks corporate cock with no gag reflex. A staple of newspapers, men's magazines, TV advertising and billboards, last year he earned around $8 million for sponsoring various male fashion accessories, such as Police sunglasses.
