Hey Joe: Do you consider yourself a metrosexual? I do.
Jake Gyllenhaal, on location in Beirut, Lebanon
The word “metrosexual” threw me for a loop. I had to research its source to learn if it fit the category of words such as homosexual, bisexual, transvestite, etc. It fits the saying, “The more things change, the more they remain the same.”
During my earlier teenage years, an older man who found himself attracted to a younger man was referred to as a “nasty old man” or, in other words, “sweet lips,” because of his desire to perform oral sex. In most cases, affairs between the two meant quick cash for the younger man. At the same time, many men were as feminine as women.
