Hmm, there is talk these days of the 'metro male'.  What's your analysis on this phenomenon?
 
The metrosexual isn't neccessarily feminized in features, but feminized in style.  So, while he may still have angular and strong hands, his nails might be manicured.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												I've always been attracted physically to manly men.
Tall, lanky or buff--but rugged types.  They feel good--but (so cliche, I know) you can't really talk to them.  
I like Cruise better chiselled--and I have seen him in a couple of movies where I thought he looked good.  Minority Report--or Mission Impossible.
Of course, now that he's opened his mouth and revealed himself as completely psycho, I can't see it...
Anyway.  $.02

Ah, I see!  Thanks for the explanation and educating me.

Yes, so I see.  
The Wikipedia explanation is quite comprehensive.
											
 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												..there is nothing wrong with a metrosexual male...
A male who takes pride in their appearance is far more appealing to me than some scruffy, grubby looking guy with a mullet and a builders crack showing *shudder*....... 
 
											 
																									
						
														
					
												Hey, I got rid of that mullet weeks ago.Give me a break.

Yeah, but are your fingernails clean, hair combed, shaved, and teeth brushed?  
 
											 
					
				 
																									
						
														
					
												...and your toe nails and nose hair clipped? LOL

heh -- we call it "plumber's crack" ( | )

 nothing worse I reckon....
											
 
																
						
														
					
												I'm not too fond of the 'plumbers crack' myself. 
And it's not just 'men's men' doing it anymore: there's a lot of the other dudes and chicks with their azzes hanging out. The dreaded 'prostitute thong' sticking out is unattractive, to me as well.
Call me old fashioned, but I like having something to unwrap when we get home!
