Why the need to use "Metrosexual" reference? A little sensationalist isn't it?

  Agreed. This has nothing to do with the term "metrosexual". "Metrosexual is a neologism, derived from metropolitan and heterosexual, coined in 1994 describing a man (especially one living in an urban, post-industrial, capitalist culture) who is especially meticulous about his grooming and appearance" - Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual

    I'm very well aware of the term and would consider myself a metrosexual in some ways. It was just a play on words.

      Yes, but not a very relevant (or clever) one. Just because two words can go together doesn't make it a fit for the article's title. Something about Metropolis would probably have been better, as in, not being a denizen of the city of Metro. Also, if you actually do consider yourself to be metro, then it's even more out of place.

    Wikipedia quotes the dictionary incorrectly. It refers to a heterosexual man, yes, but the "-sexual" postfix comes from homosexual. It's meant as a put down to straight guys acting gay.

  Very sensational. I dislike these kind of posts that get to the frontpage because of their title, rather than the actual content :( If the content is good enough, please put something related to that in the title.
