Way off base joeether, in a sense.  You're right about a man who enjoys the finer things in life, but don't denegrate a man who takes pride in his appearance.  I'd first heard the term a few months ago when someone referenced me as being one, and after laughing it off, I had to find out what it was.  In the end, I had to agree with most of the "definition".  It's not a heterosexual man with homosexual traits ... it IS a man however who goes out of his way to take care of himself, stay abreast of trends, purchase their own clothing, and so on.  ( Loved the shoes remark ).  The "definition" actually states that it can be a homosexual or heterosexual man.  There is a funny part about guys who use "hair products".

As for the "Man's Man" bit - I hunt and fish regularly, am a regular at the best Strip Clubs in the country, play softball, baseball and golf, and have never had a homosexual thought in my life.  One of the best compliments I ever had was from a client with whom I've done business with over the course of the last 15 years, when he said "Chicks dig him and guys wanna' hang out with him".

To each their own I guess...

It is usually described as a man who enjoys the finer things in life (i.e. spending 150 bucks on a haircut, getting pedicures and manicures, going shopping for shoes), that sort of thing.  He is a heterosexual but has homosexual traits.  He is not a mans man if you know what I mean.  He also definately has to live within the city limits of a major metropolitan area.


I guess a few examples would be any and all actors

By the way, have any FRIENDS that you have known for 15 years said that?  (just a friendly jab...)

;D
