Metrosexual (And What)

Metrosexual (And What)

A Poem by {A}shley {B}lack @-;-
"

A poem about the growing number of men who care about their appearance

"
Metrosexual (And What!)
I may take more time than you
in a mirror 
while I fix my hair
I may give you advice 
on the make up that you wear
I care about my branding
and the colours that are cute
I have to match 
all my shoes and the occasional boot
for I am a Metrosexual 
my appearance is my life
but gentlemen please stay clear
my suited partner will be a wife
Manicures and stubble trimmed
skinny jeans and scarves
a little bit of guy liner 
perfect appearance is my task 
I may look camp to you 
and what!
is all I have to say
I don’t seek your approval
now leave me to my day

Sounds pretty much right on track. I find the whole metrosexual man thing quite interesting. I also find it a pain to have to take so much time making sure to be "presentable." I wouldn't think men wouldn't want to jump into that rat race. Kind of a commentary on the shallowness of society, I think. Then again, it could have to do with the loss of individuality and definition that's being promoted in general and an attempt to maintain one's self by having their own "look." Well written and thought provoking piece.

This was amazing. So full of truth and uncaring for anothers negative opinions of this type. It was kind of like a poetic F U to those who always have something negative to say.

Loved this poem made me smile such a great fun read much needed after reading your darker poems. Funny story last week I was on here with a friend reading your stuff and she was like Hes Gay but not in a mean way, so I laughed and said no hes not hes just Metrosexual and I think that is soo freaking hot. Im not kidding the guys where I live have no taste I LOVE your style you have no idea how much I'm gonna send you a message that's a bit to reviling to add here lol

interesting... actually i had never heard of this term before this year. i never knew there was a name for it, but i have met many.
great poem as always. you do have a gift for putting yourself in the mind set of others in order to write in their point of view, not many people can do that.
