They stand their staring deep in to the mirror, checking every hair is in the perfect position, their clothes are all fully colour co-ordinated with labels even the Beckhams would be proud of and their concealer perfectly placed. But no, this isn't your best friend or sister, not even your mum, this is your boyfriend, your brother or God forbid your dad; as this is the new age of the metrosexual.
The cave man types of yesteryear are out, washing their face and going on their way to build, play rugby, hunt and gather no more. It seems here to stay is a new man, one that likes to straighten their hair and wear only the nicest of clothes. This man is your new gay best friend and boy friend rolled in to one, and how excellent it is! Gone are the days when you have to hunt out your perfect partner to take along to your weekly shopping trip. Instead turn around, yes lying in the bed next to you, is the new best way to shop; your boyfriend.
Problematic for some, those who like the scruffy macho look, which takes soap and a pair of baggy jeans to create. I am a fully fledged member of this new club and could not be happier. Take pride in the way your boyfriend looks whilst hiding the fact that it took him two hours to look this gorgeous from your jealous friends. And why not!? You get the gay best friend but without the confusion faced when getting drunk and kissing him as the hetrosexual males before this weren't really catching on to the whole grooming process. Be happy with your metrosexual man, give him a pat on the back, lend him some nice smelling bath bomb or face wash. Just perhaps start to worry when you notice some of your favourite clothes missing, and its no longer just concealer but maybe a touch of mascara and eye shadow too.
