Overheard at Starbucks

A group of women discussing the latest teddy bear offering – the golfing bear.
“I may get this for one of my guy friends. He has a metrosexual side. His apartment is decorated really nicely. I don’t know if he would have this out though.”

Question 1: Can you have a metrosexual side? Aren’t you just straight, gay or metrosexual? Or is the same thing as ‘being in touch with your feminine’ side (if you are a straight male?

Question 2: Would any self-respecting metrosexual display a teddy bear wearing a golf cap, sweater and a golf bag?

Thanks, CLD. You know what they say about the land of the blind.

"Question 1: Can you have a metrosexual side? Aren’t you just straight, gay or metrosexual? Or is the same thing as ‘being in touch with your feminine’ side (if you are a straight male?"

I think a metrosexual is a straight man with some non-sexual interests/predelictions that are stereotypically associated with gay men. So I think the answer to both questions is "no."

"Question 2: Would any self-respecting metrosexual display a teddy bear wearing a golf cap, sweater and a golf bag?"

. . . or play golf, for that matter? Yes, yes, Payne Stewart, but that ended badly. The answer, I think, is no. Although maybe if it were a Steiff.

This is why I post such things. I get answers to burning questions.
