For a long time, the lot of men at the counter of the cosmetic store was limited to choosing a razor, shaving foam and deodorant (if he did not receive all of the above on February 23). The market decided to put an end to this injustice and created a man who became the main competitor to your place in the closet and on the shelves in the bathroom. Meet a metrosexual man ...
Of course, such representatives of the stronger sex existed before, however, they were not particularly talked about. It was not clear how to call. And in 1994, journalist Mark Simpson introduced the term "metrosexual". However, then very few people turned to a new word of attention, and only in 2002, Mark managed to introduce "metrosexual" in wide use. It was not without the influence of the popular series "Sex and the City", in one of which Kerry talked about the "new type of man" that appeared on the streets of megacities. The article aroused wide interest, and the word "metrosexual" settled in the arsenal of mods, designers, actors and marketing researchers. And in the series came, because it is not so scary to hear metrosexual men. Let's find out why.
What does metrosexual mean?
First of all, it should be noted that this is not a definition for sexual orientation. Metrosexual is a man who understands fashion trends, loves to take care of himself and does not hesitate to demonstrate his sensuality. In this metrosexual usually prefers women. Of course, fit yourself.
My boyfriend is a metrosexual: the pros and cons
Pros:
- in stores you will not be bored together. Metrosexual is aware of the latest innovations, he knows how to distinguish brands, is familiar with the trends and will be able to give efficient advice when choosing from two or more options;
- you will always have an incentive to do yourself. Metrosexual carefully follows his body: as a rule, he is a supporter of a balanced diet, does not shun diets, visits a gym, a swimming pool and a cosmetologist;
- in the house there will be no shortage of cosmetics. If you run out of hand cream, patches from dark circles under your eyes, or you lose a nail file - you do not have to run to the store, just look at the metrosexual's shelf. At the same time get acquainted with the latest innovations in the world of cosmetology.
Minuses:
- not only women will look at your boyfriend. Very often metrosexuals are suspected of being attached to men;
- most likely, for him you will be in second place. Well, or somewhere in the top ten. The first place for a metrosexual is usually occupied by a deity called "I". Such is the payment for a well-kept copy of the dummy from the showcase of an expensive store;
- he will also be willing to dig in your cosmetic bag. It is unlikely that the cosmetics will be common (in this regard, men metrosexuals are scrupulous), however, if necessary, your boyfriend does not disdain to borrow a little corrector or balm for the cuticle;
- most of the family budget will go into his appearance.
How to become a metrosexual?
If your man seriously thinks about how to join the growing clan of metrosexuals, then he should pay attention to:
- Appearance. I'll have to upgrade to the smallest detail: starting with the wardrobe, my body (find a good instructor in
gym, cosmetologist, hairdresser, manicurist and pedicure master), and ending with the selection of expensive perfume. - His knowledge of the world of fashion. A metrosexual man is well acquainted with the cult phenomena in the fashion world and, in addition, is perfectly oriented in the latest trends.
- Femininity. It is important not to overdo it. In each person there is a balance of yin and yang, but many men are afraid of even a hint of the female component of their essence. Metrosexual is able to emphasize his femininity so that it further emphasizes the courageous part of his nature.
