Is Being Metrosexual a Dealbreaker?

i met up briefly with the mexican this morning for coffee before heading off to montreal for the rest of the week. needless to say, i ended up hearing from him shortly after our first date. he is definitely a good looking guy. "metrosexual" has been used to describe him... he showed up looking very preppy in glasses, an (argyle?) sweater vest with a dress shirt/pants, nice shoes, scarf and leather jacket. keep in mind that he was coming from work (and he's latino, hehe). i think he just likes to look good and takes care of himself, nothing wrong with that. as it turns out, he might actually be visiting friends in montreal this weekend who just had a baby. he asked for my number and said he'd get in touch with me. he also suggested that we dine at the black cat bistro next week (on my foodie list!). 30 mins really shouldn't even count as a "second date", so only time will tell. i do enjoy his company, but i think he intimidates me a little bit.

on a side note, i found this definition of metrosexual on urban dictionary... it's pretty funny.

You might be "metrosexual" if:


1. You just can't walk past a Banana Republic store without making a purchase.
2. You own 20 pairs of shoes, half a dozen pairs of sunglasses, just as many watches and you carry a man-purse.
3. You see a stylist instead of a barber, because barbers don't do highlights.
4. You can make her lamb shanks and risotto for dinner and Eggs Benedict for breakfast... all from scratch.
5. You only wear Calvin Klein boxer-briefs.
6. You shave more than just your face. You also exfoliate and moisturize.
7. You would never, ever own a pickup truck.
8. You can't imagine a day without hair styling products.
9. You'd rather drink wine than beer... but you'll find out what estate and vintage first.
10. Despite being flattered (even proud) that gay guys hit on you, you still find the thought of actually getting intimate with another man truly repulsive.

  1. I don't think it's a dealbreaker, depending on the level. Some guys just have a knack at putting outfits together and looking flawless. But if he's taking more time to get ready than you, shopping more than you, and spending oodles of time in the mirror . . . then it's a dealbreaker.
