OMG what I wouldn't give for my man to be metro-sexual again. I used to tease him about it, and how he spent more time in the bathroom than I did. These days, since he's working from home, he doesn't shower/shave for days on end. GIVE ME my primping, preening, pretty man again!

Thank god! men put the tweezers away. Something about a man that plucks his eyebrows and gets manicures is a BIG turnoff to me. Cleanliness and good hygiene, nice teeth a must. Manly men definetly better!

Wonderful news! No one is sexier than George Clooney and his "type" PPierce Brosnan, others). I applaud the "movement" and hope it sticks!

As in all things, moderation is best. Guys who go overboard, like women who over do it, are generally screwed up in other ways as well. They all tend to be a bit to high maintenance for me... and insecure.

Please! What could possible be better? Ugly and smelly or clean and together?? A man can be a man without looking like a slob and smelling like garbage. Going around looking like you just got out of the gutter is a complete turn-off and is definitely a loser image. And forget romance, no one wants to get close to an overly hairy and smelly creature! Men, use your "energy" and testosterome to be the best you can be for yourself and for all others! Especially for the women!

The only problem here is that those who invent the terminology tend to be men who really like men. So, i don't hink their opinion can really be counted as a barometer of what men are.

This is tacky news. Scruffy bears are not sexy. A
salt and pepper beard is just a MESS. George
Clooney is anything but sexy. He is Mr. Grizzly
Adams, uck! Clooney is PUDGY and Out of Shape.

Metrosexual will always reign supreme in the big cities.
Scruffy and ugly and fat is out.

As always, there has got to be a balance, a middle ground. Ladies, we risk telling our guys that if facial hair is now back in and we don't like groomed men, they may swing the pendulum so far to the left and become cavemen. He can have some rough-and-readiness and still brush his teeth, clean his nails, iron his shirt, polish his shoes and wear clean underwear. I like 'em smelling good!

I would love for my husband to be just a bit 'metrosexual'. He doesn't shave, brush his teeth, or do any grooming!! He will wear the same t-shirt and ratty shorts for days on end....even has food stains on the shirt. I am thankful that he takes a shower at least during the week--hardly ever on a weekend! If he didn't work, I suppose he would never shower. I buy all kinds of grooming aids for him but they don't get used. I am so over the scruffy 'menergy' look. I'd like to have a man that has some respect for himself as well as for me.

Menergy is back! Amen!

" 'anti-metrosexual, hyper-masculine' energy that was circulating throughout Milan Fashion Week during the menswear segments."

Isn't 'that' the GAYEST thing ever? Milan Fashion Week and Masculine don't deserve to be in the same sentence? C'mon guys!

"Menergy"? Are you serious? I mean really, who comes up with all of these gay titles? Is this your job to come up with these "new" words. I just don't get it.

A blend would be good. semi-metro during the week and menergy on the weekends. metro is nice but I get tired of guys smelling like the perfume counter at macy's.

I am sorry to see it go, it seems that men want to look as if they just got out of the desert. It looks so discusting that a man has to look like a tramp.

Men used to be men, now, they are mostly pretty boys. My husband is a man's man, and always has been. If I had wanted "Pretty Boy", I would have married a woman.

Guys getting pedicures and manicures was always so annoying. Being a manly man doesn't get you off the hook from taking showers and brushing your teeth but I'm happier not having to fight for the bathroom mirror in the mornings!

Yay, I'll take a man's man any day of the week. There is something extremely sexy about a man, and I mean a MAN. Not a girly man. If I wanted competition for bathroom stage time, I'd be a lesbian.

All women are lesbians deep down, if you've ever never most rockstars, most actors etc that are "sex symbols" have always been very femmy looking. Someone like johnny depp,all these crossdressing eyeliner wearing rockers that are out today... they are very feminine looking. So if you think men with beards or men who don't get their nails done or get blonde highlights are disgusting then perhaps you should start going for actual women.

this menergy just sounds like another gay thing,I don't want to be smelling these idiots who can't shower or take a bath.
