Metrosexual, gay or sophisticate ?

I saId THat the thin lINe theory is irrelevant.Originally posted by Dongseng:Lets put it simpler
Since metro are vain face and gays are 'sex change',of course they are different.
so why did u think theres no need for that thin line which seperates these two different person.
You are talKing about two labels here, or two extremes. ObviouslY there's gOing to be gradUAtions between the two. You can be totally masculine but gay, oR fEminiST but strAight. Or anything in between.
And I LiKe dan tarts a lot. I thINk eGg tarts are MagnificEnt. -
No they are not clones of one another. And yes, that is a valid question in this topic. Pity those who are blind.Originally posted by sgboy2004:Ah pointblue, are metrosexuals clones of gays? Is there anything foul abt this question?

I normally don't type like that, so there's a special reason why I did that.Originally posted by anonymouscoward:Oh my, I'm getting a headache -
Who said anything about metro being vain face? Like what PointBlue has clearly pointed out, you cannot determine a person's character from the way he looks.Originally posted by Dongseng:Lets put it simpler

with crappy wild-grass hairstyles, overly baggy clothes and uncouth manner of speech i dont see how modern youths conform to the metrosexual "philosophy"

Gays today can be split up into 5 different groups, which would be
Homosexuals
Metrosexuals
Sissys
Girlish looking (mainly only in teenage contexts, as some have this problem due to hormonal problems)
Acts/wants to be a girl (very likely to turn transsexual in the future)
The first group would be the homosexuals, and the very meaning of gay. However, your sexual orientation has absolutely NOTHING to do with your appearance or your actions. Most of the real homosexual males arn't really outted as 'gays', as they're 'normal' in almost every other aspect, thus people don't tend to realize.
Metrosexuals are guys who are more in-touch with their feminine side. I think anonymous coward gave a good discription of them - Metrosexual are those who men who go for facial treatments, spa (the clean type) etc. They wear fancy clothes, are particular about how they carry themselves and is sensitive to a woman's need. - . These people also tend to be more feminine in their overall appearance, and tend to shy away from becoming like those masculine men.
Sissys are basically, sissys. Alot of them are weak, cowardly, and many of them are spineless too. An example would be a kid who gets bullied by the other kids, and all he does is cry.
The 4th group would be those who have hormonal problems. Alot of them are usually much shorter, haven't broke their voice, and look either 'cute' or 'girly', and often look much younger than they really are as they haven't hit puberty yet. These people however arn't really labelled as 'gays' by the mainstream, as although they look like it, they don't act like it.
The last group are basically transsexuals in their early stages, where they still had to live as the opposite sex. It's hard to identify them honestly. They can have anything from 1 trait to all 4 traits of the above 4 groups. However this group of people will find it extremly offensive to be called 'gay (we're talking about male to female transsexuals here), as basically they don't identify themselves as men.
Anyway these days, society tends to label those feminine guys as gays. They don't care whether they're homosexual or not, most of them just lump anyone who is less than that of a male, as a gay. Majority of the people labelled are likely to come from group 2 & 3. -
SO IS METROSEXUAL A CLONE OF GAYS?

but it being so different,i dun see why the society tends to put both "gays" and "metro" under the same light
is there some reason which huamans,in their natural instinct dosent perceived guys who don't act all their "macho" as no longer a part of their gender?
like we know a party is a male when he has that stick,excluding transsexual.
but even so,if his action is not in anyway macho,society would deem these metro as gays?
Is it just purely in our natural behaivour which soley affect how people look at them? -
So clones are actually gays, just like 0lala (the one that got banned) is actually Dongseng?

I'm not quite sure. Somehow the word 'gay' eventually got linked to 'effeminate', and now it is used among gamers as a word for 'rigged' or 'imbalanced'. After some time it is used so much, that people just use it even when it's not the correct meaning.Originally posted by Dongseng:of course i udnerstand every and everyone defination

Why do people label them as gays? I believe it's because it's similar to bullying. People start to feel insecure about themselves, and pick on feminine guys as they're an easy target, as well as to show the rest of their peers that they're 'cool'.
Whether similar things happen with adults, I'm not quite so sure. I'm speaking based on personal experience, which would be Singaporean and secondary school context. -
So is METROSEXUALS actually clones of gays? How come no answer har?Originally posted by Dongseng:quit stalking loser
