Ok, the first time it

December 1st, 2003 random |   | | ##

Ok, the first time it happened a few months ago. I let it go. Then it happened again a month later after that. Then yet again last week. I got refered to as a “metrosexual” by three different women in three ocasions. So I looked up “metrosexual” on the internet and this is what I found:

What is a Metrosexual?
The newly popular media and marketing buzzword seems to mean different things to different people, but in general, a metrosexual:

  • is a modern, usually single man in touch with himself and his feminine side;
  • grooms and buffs his head and body, which he drapes in fashionable clothing both at work or before hitting an evening hotspot;
  • has discretionary income to stay up to date with the latest hairstyles, the newest threads, and the right shaped shoes;
  • confuses some guys when it comes to his sexuality;
  • makes these same guys jealous of his success with the ladies — for many metros, to interact with women is to flirt;
  • impresses the women who enjoy his company with the details that make the man;
  • is a city boy or, if living a commute away from downtown, is still urbane, if not rightly urban;
  • enjoys reading men’s magazines…

    At first when I heard the term being used to describe me, I was confused… But now it actually does make sense. It does describe me a little…

    But American society is all about labeling things and people. You can not go two days without someone trying to tell you what to eat, and what not to eat, what to drink, what to say, what to wear, what to .. you get the idea. Everyday theres a so-called “expert” that seems to know how you should live your life. Ya, as if I need more “labels” in life!

    Everyone is different… and to try to label is wrong. Fuck “metrosexual.” Im Me!

    Oh yea, that reminds me, I need to make my next facial appointment…

      Watch the trailer for JJ Abrams’ new TV show Revolution. Looks good but then so did Alcatraz, which turned out to be a dud. Lets hope this lives up to the hype.

      Excellent read by Henry Bloget in the New Yorker about how Mark has matured into a kick ass CEO. I couldnt agree more.

      RIP so-called Social Readers. The Facebook Social Reader is the worst piece of crap ever. You click on an article your friend supposedly read and instead of taking you to the story, it takes you to an app. Thats when I closed the app and never went to the story. I wasnt the only one.

      Fascinating story of American Airlines’ AAirPass - an all-you-can-fly elite program that you can purchase for $350,000. Considering how much you can travel (unlimited, first class), I think $350K is a great deal if you have the money. And time I guess.

      The San Pelligrino 50 Best Restaurants in the World list is better than the Michelin list, and their 2012 ratings are right on. Per Se at 6 and not surprisingly Eleven Madison Park jumps from 24 to 10! It is that good. I expect it to be in the Top 5 next year for sure. Another one to watch out for next year: Atera in New York.

      Couldnt agree with this more… Apple should buy Foursquare and Square:

      To summarize: after the deal, Apple will immediately become a giant payments company, with an installation base that is expected to encompass half of all mobile devices sold. The company will have the best local search abilities, far exceeding any existing recommendation engine. And due to its enormous reach, it will possess a payment system that merchants will line up to support.

      Perfectly boring still life objects made incredibly NSFW. Quite awesome how at first you see the shots, you dont see anything but erotica. But then when you realise what it is, you have to try and see anything but the every-day object.
