I was thinking about how non-metro I am so I made a list:

I've never purchased a nail clipper
I don't own a comb or hair brush
I spend literally 20 seconds per day on my hair
I didn't know what "exfoliate" meant until i was 21
I've never purchased sunscreen
I don't own a beach/pool towel (i just use somebody else's)
Until I moved out I had never purchased shampoo
I don't highlight my hair
Until I started dating it had been over a year since I had gone to the mall
I don't use moisturizer
I only own 3 pairs of underwear (okay just kidding on that one!)
I've never gone tanning (nor will I ever go)
I've never had a manicure/pedicure
My sister and girlfriend both cut hair, and constantly nag me to get it cut, yet I usually go 2-3 months between cuts
I don't shave my chest/arms/legs/armpits

hmmm... i'll think of more

Things going against me:

I sometimes trim my armpit hair/happy trail
I have waxed my eyebrows

You know whats funny Funky, I was looking at the list and the first person that came to my head that does or owns 95% of those things is your sisters boyfriend... he is the only person I know that claimed a pedicure and manicure when he filled out his embarkation papers thing for a cruise...

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

lol, that cruise had a very high metro content

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

i'm sure you realized that you've been absorbed into an extremely metro circle. they spit a lot of game about being manly, but any guy who owns a manicure set is just not as masculine as he'd like to think. clippers-yes, but a whole set in a special case?? come on now. most girls i know don't even have one of those.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

i didn't even know they made those

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

i almost fell outta my chair reading "i dont own a beach/pool towel" thats so foreign to me! LOL

regarding moisturizing....EVERYONE should do it, male and female cause when you're 30 looking 50, you'll wish you had started using it earlier...LOL all my male friends use moisturizer with an spf 15 (everyone needs sunscreen on their face too)

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

WHA?! I am on the metro bubble. Seriously..

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

Anyway.. all gheys aside.

Is being Metro .... bad ?

I know being a ghey metro is bad..

violetboregaurd violetboregaurdOG 2003 ·

Uhm - those things don't make you metro either way... just clean if you do and if you don't - well okay you're not in to it.

A list proving the un-Metro would be -

I don't own a blow-dryer.

I have never had my tips frosted

I can eat in my car, other ppl can eat in my car, without the need of vaccuming the minute they leave.

I will wash my graphic tees (Metro guys wear a tee underneath and only wash the tee-shirt preserving the graphic tee from laundry status)

I can wear my sneakers anywhere - they are not reserved for indoor activities nor do I wipe them down when I return home.

I mean you can add to this list if you like...

I take offense to the eating in the car.. some things are OK others aren't... Skittles OK, Chocolate chip cookies NOT.

Just imagine the smooshed around remnants of chocolate grinding into new convention clothes. not good.

All the others are spot on.

I'll add...

'The Arts' Poetry readings, symphonies etc.

Interior design

Flair for cooking

A débutante of brands that nobody has ever heard of.

dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

Hey! I like to cook, and I am, in no way, shape, or form, metro.

M
monsterEst. 2006 ·

'like to cook' ≠ a flair for cooking

:D

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

as i mentioned, i am not metro, yet your list is making me feel as if i am

englandkid englandkidOG 2003 ·

you are SOOOOO metro.... 3 words... NAILS FOR MALES! also, who owns their own box at the manicure salon??? Im a girl and I dont even have that!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

we all know the preposterousness of dan saying that he's not metro. you, once more, have blown up his spot. we all know, for a fact, that dan is metro.

englandkid englandkidOG 2003 ·

yeah, this is like my sole purpose for being on ezabel lol

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

baby, you so crazy

M
monsterEst. 2006 ·

Oh, dude I didn't know 'Nails for Males' was an actual product... Oh my.

SOOOO METRO!!!!!

And your claiming not to be, shocking.

But to add to Thai's comment and taking a line from Seinfeld... 'Not that there is anything wrong with that!' LOL

So seriously... i wanna blow your spot up on a few of these, but i will hold back... but yeah, the waxing of the eyebrows MAKES you metro... wait ya know what... no forget that...

IT MAKES YOU STRAIGHT UP GAY!!!!!!

GUUUHAAYYYYYYYYYYYY

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

I mean whats next?
Next time you're in the seat... getting the eyebrows done... the ghey male eyebrow waxer just might suggest " hey what about your armpits "

and you think about it.. and you'r eall " yea why not.. i don't have to shave it later... "

then whats next...?

the ghey male eyebrow waxer will suggest your "happy trail"..

and you say " yea sure why not.. that way i dont have to shave later"

then whats next...?

the ghey male eyebrow waxer will suggest " hey how about my place.. dinner.. 6pm"

and you're all " yea sure why not.. that way i dont have to buy food and eat later..."

and then whats next...?

you get the point

TRUE STORY!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

haha... true, except the gay male eyebrow waxer is my sister so unlikely

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

So your sister is into ripping hair off people's bodies and making them scream in agony?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

haha, this is all mostly bologna. i've done almost everything on that list and i KNOW [and others know too] i'm not metro.

though i've never had the eyebrows waxed, never went tanning, only had one manicure/pedicure and it was for a wedding party spa day. the rest? guilty.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

i agree, my husband has done most of this stuff, and is not metro, he's a tough construction worker! haha

the manicure, i MADE him get done for our wedding...and one of the guy manicurist was going to do it, and he insisted on having a girl. haha

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

HAHAHA! i'm pretty sure i've met austin. not metro at all.

for dudes, a girl manicurist is a must. i had a busty korean girl with two sleeves of tattoos. if i ever get one done again, i'm going to her. the most amazing manicurist ever.

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

good call on the trimming the underarm hair. i hate it when you see a guy in a wife beater and he has like, nasty bushes coming out of his pits. that makes me want to throw up.

there was no need to use the phrase "happy trail"

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

Hahaha - yeah, you're just making Mike jealous.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

so you've never gone tanning, but you're thinking about getting a mani/pedi soon

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

haha... no

M
monsterEst. 2006 ·

I love being a guy. I think of ALL that stuff that we don't need or want.

e.g. The Drugstore: I only ever have to go down like two isles, EVER. All that other stuff must be for the ladies.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

the drugstore is a dangerous place for a woman on a budget.

M
monsterEst. 2006 ·

It is expensive for a guy too, but I guess cuz I buy in bulk, so I don't have to go back.

Especially at Costco, razors, shaving cream, toothpaste & shampoo $100 easy. Of course that is for like a year. :-)

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

They have a Costco in the Yukon territory? LOL!

M
monsterEst. 2006 ·

Well I load up my sled with pelts and come into the city twice a year... they don't like us trading much anymore, they want us to only use AMEX now! I get all my sundries and head back for the trapping season. :D

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

1. Making this list and wasting thoughts on coming up with a list about be non-metro.. MAKES you meTRo

oh.. that and you wax your eyebrows everyday.

oh and that you're ghey

iwz iwz ·

yeah being ghey is sooo metro

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

There was a guy getting a facial yesterday while I was at the spa getting a pedicure. He didn't seem gay, so I'm guessing he was metro.

If you do nothing else for your skin, get a moisturizer with sunblock. They make unscented ones for guys. It's really important to keep your skin wrinkle-free for years to come.

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

You forgot to mention you don't wear deodorant when playing sports. LOL! I remember one game of basketball you nearly knocked me out with your stench. hahahahahahaha.....

iwz iwz ·

"I have waxed my eyebrows"

^^^ totally metro

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

yeah. I think this trumps not buying nail clippers or shampoo, and about everything else on the list.

how is buying nail clippers metro? Do real men grind them away with rocks?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

the point is i just don't really put emphasis on that kind of stuff. i steal them from other people

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

*cough* moocher *cough*

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

so you're just dirty.

clipping with others dirty nail clippers.

everyone picks their noses.. and then clip their nails. and then you swoop in.. take the booger encrusted nail clipper.. than clip your nails.. now you have boogers all over your fingers... and then you go and rub your eye.. and now you have my boogers in your eye.

so metro

coreyfeldman coreyfeldmanOG 2003 ·

funky, just curious what life event called for an eyebrow wax?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

let me qualify that...my sister made me do it. She has all the waxing stuff at the house. it's not like i went somewhere to have it done
