It sounds a lot more appealing than being called a girly man.
i thought metrosexuals were hetero men who are culturally gay.

...metrosexual... A dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself...

It sounds a lot more appealing than being called a girly man.
Sorry, putting it nicely, this is just another way to classify people in a strange way. Usually it is called stereotyping.

“…Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.”
—Mark Simpson, "Meet the metrosexual," Salon.com, July 22, 2002

Notice the use of, “they’re pretty much everywhere.” And how “they’re” classified within the ranks of a disease such as herpes. That just seems wrong.

I love me, but I am not narcissistic.

Wow. I scored an 8.

Funny thing is, I've worn dresses and makeup- though not for sensual reasons. I figured I'd scored a little higher.

I don't care what others think about me (I wear whatever I feel like, when I feel like it, and act how I like), I only watch football (and only when the Broncos play- requirement for living in Colorado at one point), and I'm not really too mechanically inclined- though I can get around.

The funny thing that I didn't like about the quiz was the manual labor part. Even if I were a girly-man, I would still like to work in my garden.

He probably doesn't give much of a shit about getting flamed either.

Just guessing.

Like someone told me you need a tougher skin. If it was only that easy. Flames are still negative energy and whatever you call it, negative energy usually sucks.

Thick skin. Ignore them. If someone else's words change the pattern of your actions, then you aren't ignoring what others say about you. (I have fallen prey to flaming from time to time, but I usually get back on track.)

Or you act happily psychotic.

<b>IE.</b>
"You fucking bastard! How dare you say <i>X</i>! I should tear off your head off and shit down your neck!!"
<i>"Awwwww, that's so sweet. You're worried about my diet. If I ever find my parents, I'll ask them to say a prayer for you. How thoughful of you... Uhmm... Do you taste like chicken?"</i>

This usually sets off assholes. Hope it helps.

And how do you know which one intimidates them. Hmmmmmm?

The picture is actually from my Disgruntled Postal Workers outfit at BM 98. You can't really make out the outfit. The gun is mine, but the avatar is more from a funny picture. I have my cammie pants on, a US postal shirt, my gun, a hardhat that says "Fuck more, bitch less", and a happy face water bottle with a bleeding bullthole. I was making a disgruntled face at the camera and didn't see the guy's expression in the background til' the picture came out. It pretty plainly states, "Err.. should I be leaving?" The combination made the picture pretty classic. I ended up putting the postal logo on it and posting it somewhere years ago. I don't even have the modified pic anymore, but it's still one of my favorite BM pictures.

The avatar background is hard to make out but it reminds me of Canyonlands N.P., Island in the Sky in Southern UT. Everytime I see it that's what I get reminded of.

Fuck more, bitch less. I'll follow that advice about 5 hours from now.

hmmm I scored 18. Must be all the weightlifting and the fact that I like manual labor.

I am not sure how to find Wonderland, except it has something to do with pills and magic. Wonderland can be many places.

I know of one place where plenty of magic happens, with or without pills. I will be there September 27th, 2004. )(
