Grapico, I'm interested in discussing this thread more and decided to bump it.
I have bolded the top 5 most feminine cities among male population in order of most feminine.
1. San Francisco (quite easily)
2. Portland
3. Los Angeles
4. San Diego
5. Seattle
Generally speaking, I would guess that the cities on (or near) the coasts would have more men with feminine traits than cities in the south or the midwest. That said, however, Atlanta and Miami tend to stand out as cities I would consider to be feminine. Miami though, is technically on the east coast. Chicago seems to also be up there.
All of the cities that I perceive to have men with more feminine traits are cities which are progressive, have a strong appreciation and support for the arts (theatre, symphony orchestra, dance, museums, etc.), and have a high quality of life. Usually they are on the coasts, except for Chicago and Atlanta.
All of the places except for five are very and equally metro sexualized in my book (BTW - the "do you know how to change your own oil" test is spot on):
Milwaukee
San Antonio
Philly
San Diego
Phoenix
Interestingly what these 5 places have in common is they are all throw backs to an era when lots of middle class people still lived in the larger, typically coastal, or if not coastal, blue/purple county inland, metro areas.
Milwaukee metro sexual? In what sense? There's nothing metro sexual about a 200 pound man with a goatee, pakers jersey, with a hunk of fake cheese on his head.
Milwaukee is still very much-meat and potatos. Not manicure, latte, and Iphone facebook time, like yuppie SF.

Oh come on...you mean none of those 200-pound men in Packer's jerseys wearing cheeseheads don't go to hair stylists to have their grey goatees trimmed, groomed and dyed to make them look attractive? LOL!
Seriously though, I think that the only quasi-metrosexual area of Milwaukee would have to be the 3rd Ward, and maybe the East Town area.
All you did was list the 15 or so largest cities in America. Just being a large city doesn't make it a feminine city. In what way is Denver more "feminine" than Seattle or Boston? Denver is, in fact, probably the manliest big city in the country. It's a football town, has one of the highest concentrations of trucks and SUVs, has a western cowboy sort of culture and ambiance, and has the wild west in its backyard with hunting, fishing, and hiking (and most men take advantage of at least one of those activities regularly).
Seattle, on the other hand, has lattes.
Please. Denver is manlier than every city on that list, with the very possible exception of San Antonio, which has an enormous military population.
Seattle actually has strong blue-collar roots - it was a town built on Boeing, after all. Of course, it's become more yuppie over the last couple of decades, but you don't have to go too far out to get to more blue-collar areas. For example, Everett and Tacome are both within 30 minutes of Seattle, and guys there tend to have much more macho, working class mentalities.
So most "metrosexual"? Uh, it's gotta be a Miami, LA or San Fran of the world......somewhere where fashion is king and looks are overly important. I know, some of you think this can apply anywhere, but in my experience at least LA and SF are more concerned with fashion or looks than say, Detroit or Phoenix.
Actually, I'd say people in Phoenix are more concerned with looks (at least, of the Ken/Barbie variety) than people in SF, by a long shot. Phoenix always feels like it's trying hard to become a part of Southern California.
