No one here really knows what this guy is about...outside of your description. However, you clearly have some red flags. Might be a good idea to listen to your gut. I, personally, wouldn't be interested in a guy who is feminine...metro is one thing, but mannerisms are another. I like men...not beer drinking, ill-mannered brutes, but just guys who act like guys...who like women to be...women. If you always have to take the aggressive stance...by kissing him, in your example...I'd consider that...well...something to be of concern.

Yes, because that describes every man to a 'T' now doesn't it.

My husband is metrosexual. He dresses well, is in a creative profession, likes the theater, and doesn't watch sports. He also really likes women and only women. I've always found the stereotypical "man's man" more intimidating than attractive, just a personal preference.

Sarcasm noted, but you know that's not how I was describing "every man", but rather a stereotype that needs to be ditched, ASAP.

LOL @ What you think makes a mans man. Sports isn't one thing I would even consider. Watching them on TV is even less. Drinking booze doesn't mark the man's man either. A man's man can intimidate nearly everyone in a room!

How is intimidating people manly? Is a prisoner with face tattoos a real man, just cause he scares people?

I think we're all talking about what is considered a stereotypical "man's man" not what we actually think constitutes a real man. My admittedly metrosexual husband is the most "real man" I know.

Well a man should be balanced...I don't know about calling yourself a 'metrosexual' though, that seems like a strange term for a grown man to self apply

Clint Eastwood would disagree. So would I.

The cop who arrested him? Could have been a women, could have been a crooked male cop, who knows. Cops are just people they aren't any better than the rest of us.
