Pampered, straight male urbanites lead the metrosexual revolution
KRT Wire:
[Ken] DeLeon may not know it, but he is a metrosexual - one of a growing number of urban guys (make that straight urban guys) who indulge in personal niceties that used to be mainly the purview of women. These guys get facials. They get their hair styled and colored. They get massages, manicures and pedicures. Some of them even shop for designer clothes -- and like it!
They also occasionally get scorn heaped upon them by other guys. But apparently that's happening less and less, as guys wake up to two important facts about all this:
1. A lot of it makes you feel good.
2. A lot of women like the effect. They really, really like it.
A little pampering is good for the soul -- even if you're a "real" man.
This reminds me of the 80's saying: "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche." During the mid-80's the Boston Celtics' fans put up a banner in the old Boston Garden which read, "Kareem Eats Quiche."
When asked about the banner after the game, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- the all-time basketball great then with the Los Angeles Lakers said, "I like quiche and furthermore real men eat whatever they want."
