Yea, yea, yea. A metrosexual is really someone who wants to have sex with cities, but this guy believes it's the ticket to having sex with women. From what I gather really shallow women who'd probably rather have sex with other woman.
http://www.hardgeus.com/index.php?npageid=27Anyhow, it's a real hoot because the guy is completely serious and seems to have enslaved his life to these draconian rules. The comments he brings up range from the absurd (he has two articles on the importance of shoes), to sensible, to downright offensive. Where he seems to make sense is when it comes to the scalp. He's really against those effeminate boy-band haircuts, and even believes you need to take it off once you start losing it:
I am not a hairstyle expert, so this is going to be brief, but there is 1 unassailable rule: If you are losing your hair lop it the hell off. Nothing is more comical than a comb-over. Nothing so pathetic as a balding guy with a ponytail. It is for this reason that I use #3 clippers on my entire head. I am nowhere near bald, but my hairline has receded enough. I promised myself years ago that I would buzz it at the first sign of trouble. Well, trouble is on the horizen. Don't be That Guy With A Combover. Don't do it.
He doesn't address taking it to the skin, so I wonder how that fits into his rules. What's strange about this topic is that he dislikes trendy cuts, but likes buzzed haircuts. But how does that fit into the whole metrosexual thing since the whole point is to come across effeminate?
Now to the offensive part, which is naturally the most fun and the reason I posted this here. The guy is very much against facial hair:
Goatees are pretty "in" these days, and my suggestion would be to only sport a goatee if it naturally grows in a decent pattern. Don't wear a goatee if you have to manually shave a path in it to show skin. Does your goatee go with your overall look, or are you just a goon with a goatee? These are important questions. Also: thick heavy goatees are quite popular in the scary leather gay community. Be forewarned.
In other words, the better your goatee the more you should consider keeping it shaved because what woman would want to hook up with a guy that's, you know, a guy? And what about all those millions and millions of guys around the world with goatees? I guess they must not have a girlfriend... And therefore with all those millions and millions of undateable guys in the world it seems like the numbers would require there to be an even larger number of available women. A huge surplus of women! So it would seem to me that any guy with a shaved face would literally have to beat the women away!
The other interesting thing is that he ends his anti-goatee rant with some fear mongering:
"thick heavy goatees are quite popular in the scary leather gay community. Be forewarned." But, um, wouldn't this only be a problem for heterosexual heavily goateed men who hang out in leather-clad gay bars and clubs? If so, shouldn't the author have pointed out that these are bad places to score women? And call me crazy, but I'd think a woman would be more likely to believe a man is gay she finds him preening over himself, shopping for designer clothes, and fretting over his shoes than if he actually looked like a man. Maybe I'm wrong here, but it seems to me that becoming an effeminate little sheman is the wrong direction to go if you don't want to be taken as a homosexual.
And, seriously, read his rules on shoes. Shoes!
I don't know... Maybe I am just too much of a guy because I see shoes as the most irrelevant part of my attire's appearance but his two articles on shoes just makes my mouth drop:
http://www.hardgeus.com/index.php?npageid=27&nCurrentPage=1Maybe women really are this superficial, but I get the impression that the only women who'd actually turn down a guy for many of his reasons are just disposable mindless barchicks anyway.
