Metrosexuals are otherwise straight men who engage in a mediated, commodified, exhibitionistic, self-conscious, and 'tarty' sexuality. [1] In short, they are men who adopt the outward mannerisms of homosexual men.

Metrosexuals are described by Mark Simpson, the man who coined the term, as:

"an entirely different species. Metrosexual. With all these preening heroes, a whole generation of boys has been metrosexualised. A recent survey of 2000 teen males in the UK found that on average, boys admitted to looking in the mirror ten times a day. 96% of these young narcissists used deodorant, 90% used hair-styling products and 50% moisturisers while 72% would like a makeover. This new-found male self-consciousness comes at a price, however: 62% "disliked" their faces and 25% said they "might have plastic surgery"."

Prominent media encouragement of the metrosexual style includes the television programs Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Metrosexuality, a British program.
