starting to revolutionize itself?[full title]


And what is up with the buzzword ''metrosexual''? So now putting some cologne before starting your day is considered effeminate? What's going on here?

In other words, they are saying that all this men grooming revolution is part of the feminization of men


Yes I know the correct word is ''these'', just a grammar mistake.

People were talking about "metrosexuals" 5+ years ago. The revolution has come and gone. Keep wearing your cologne, sir. Just keep it reasonable, please.

Why are men's products starting to be more promoted than ever though? My BIG question.

Again, that has been increasing annually for several years now. The internet has expanded the market. More people are aware of the idea of men's grooming, so ... the demand has increased.

Not to me, but people keep implying it. Just shut up already people who say that, maintain your hair is something to be proud of.


I mean as long you don't try out lipstick, nail polish or make up on, I say there is nothing "gay" with being a grooming enthusiast like me

Has there ever been a time in history when men's grooming products were not promoted? There is nothing new about it. I think you are not looking at the big picture.

"Metrosexual" hasn't been a buzzword since "Qu eer Eye for the Straight Guy" came out in 2003.

I don't think men's products are more promoted than ever. Perhaps you've just started noticing them.

(Yes, there's a random space in a word above. Can't name the show without angering the C-D filters.)

I take exception to the message you're implying in the bolded comment. It makes you sound like a judgemental snob attempting to regulate what is right or wrong for other people.

For many centuries men of all stations and from all walks of life who were particular about their appearance have availed themselves of various types of grooming aids and cosmetics. There was nothing "gay" about it and nobody thought there was. Nobody cared. There is still nothing gay about it. So I think you're making a mistake when you try to qualify what is gay or not gay and equate gayness with whether or not a man uses cosmetics.

If you are particular about your appearance and your grooming habits, just do what you want, be yourself to suit yourself. Don't concern yourself about the thoughts of cultural conservatives and anti-feminists. They are just silly faddish meaningless buzz words that divide other people into boxes anyway. Don't try to put people into boxes.
