Metrosexual / Metrosexuality – How do you define it?
The typical metrosexual is a young STRAIGHT man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis — because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. Enjoy shopping (appreciate upscale things like Gucci bags, Prada wallets, etc.), paying a lot of attention to his appearance, or being interested in design.
We need to find a term to describe ONE who crosses society's perceived (traditional) gender stereotypes regardless of their sexual preference.
Upon declaring a broader definition, we must then ask, Can a woman be a metrosexual?
In the future, I think the answer should be yes. Traditional stereotypes have prevented men from using practical women's roles and vice versa for far too long.

nailing people with terminology...just doesn't feel right to do so..
hmmm guess I'd have to be a metrosexual when i was younger also...still am at times..still love to fish, play in the river, play in the dirt,and get dirty. BUT, I also love to dress up, wear heels and take care of myself..so does that make me confused??? probably...
It’s the society’s stereotyping about gender and sexuality - that lesbians, straight women, gay men, and straight men all fit a certain profile of appearance, interests, and behavior.
IMHO, there's no "right" or "wrong" way for a person to act or look based on her or his gender or sexuality. So basically, "metrosexual" is just a “TERM"...per se.

Well I always saw a metrosexual guy as a guy who takes really good care of himself like getting pedicures and manicures done, and just generally being really attentive of how he looks.
What do u mean by a "metrosexual woman" ? Do u mean a woman who doesn't take of herself well? So a woman who has alot of "male" habits ?

I think a metrosexual woman is called a tom boy. I used to be one...kinda still am.
