For decades, men have shown elegance without the "metro sexualism" syndrome. I wouldn't consider Sinatra or James Bond or any of those guys a "metro sexual". But they were indeed well groomed and elegant. And they still behaved like men.
This is a great illustration of what we men should be trying to emulate. I call it having class. Whatever you guys do don't stop brushing, flossing, showering and wearing deodorant because you're trying to be more manly.
I see the metrosexual movement as having two aims. The most obvious ones is to create a larger market for makeup and personal grooming products. In other words, they're trying to get us to spend as much money on our appearance as women do, telling us we need to use 4 different products on our face every day, 3 different shower gels, shampoo, conditioner, after-conditioner, spray conditioner for right after the shower, then some pomade to style it (and of course, we died it for 'natural' color that lasts first). Then they tell us to exfoliate our skin, use blackhead removal strips, some Nivea for men, then put some lotion to undo the damage all that did, throw on some concealer to 'smooth our complexion', maybe some eye-liner to look more... something, then finally we're done with our face. We've still got to keep our skin smooth, our bodies waxed, our nails done and... damn anybody else tired of this yet? They're sellling us products.
A more serious aim of metrosexuality is to demonize masculinity. Feminazis are raising men to behave like women, brainwashing us into believing that we are 'natural oppressors' and that our society is keeping women in the gutter while advancing the aims of men. In other words, the Malboro Man isn't manly, he's oppressive, and we need to act like women trapped in a man's body in order not to oppress anybody. The best way to oppose this is to refuse to buy into it. Be a man's man, and don't pander to gender politics.
Have enough common sense to do what you need to look well-groomed, smell nice, and show you have a sense of style.
