I am the biggest advocate of a metrosexual man. There is nothing more sexy than a waxed, shaven, pedicured, moussed-up, with a skin care regimen, wearing a pair of skinny-jeans, and a smile backed by pearly whites … under 30 (that last bit is just my personal preference so it seems and a different blog altogether ☺). That was until, after a night out in Monterrey, Mexico, a metrosexual friend we will effectually call “anonymous” applied eye cream at 5AM. Yes, after an evening of extreme partying he is so pre-programmed that he felt compelled to proceed with his skin care regimen at 5AM! That left me wondering and days later while looking up a word in the dictionary I stumbled across Retrosexual. What is considered to a certain extent the opposite of Metrosexual.
Retrosexual Definition: a man who adopts a traditional masculine style in dress and manners
The definition was followed by a comment from West4th NY: "old-fashioned manners and clothes typical of the early 1960s (think Mad Men)"
So I did the natural thing and went digging some more for these MAD MEN. I stumbled across the official site for the show and you can even Mad Men Yourself! (That's me pictured above with the coffee cup).
"Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell. The latest season of the show takes place in 1963..."
So whether your man is Metrosexual or Retrosexual… I still think eye cream at 5AM is where one should draw the line for a man who likes women. As for men who like men and us girls, different rules apply, we can apply eye cream whenever we want ☺
Metrosexual Definition: a man who is attracted to women sexually but who is also interested in fashion and his appearance
