Not long ago, the biggest reason for a girl to be attracted towards a guy was the in infallible manliness that he emitted wherever he went. Indeed, the macho man reigned supreme in the hearts of those swooning females who were on the lookout for the perfect package of Adonis and Hercules fused into one. And, if he has a brain or a sense for style that was simply a bonus.

It’s no wonder that James Dean and Sean Connery were revered as gods by an entire race of crazy macho-fanatic female fans around the world. But, that was then and things have changed. The macho man has apparently taken a back seat to a new breed of charmers walking into the center-stage – charmers now known as metrosexuals. Apparently, this new breed knows what impresses girls and is all packed with the right tools to get the job done. They know it is a mix between showing a strong confident image, all masked behind a face that has had a few trips to the day spa that month. They know it is a combination of pure brut toned down by the plucking of the eyebrows and the waxing of their chest that truly makes the difference.

Metrosexual men are no different from their macho counterparts. In fact, in many ways they are like a super version of the macho man. They are, for all intensive purposes, The Hulk on steroids. They’ve got the muscle, they’ve got the tough guy attitude, and on top of that they got it all while being “decked to the 9’s” and a heart to boot. The metrosexual is the macho man of the future, and lets his persona do the fighting as well as his charm, so as to not get the suit ruffled in any sort of physical altercation.

He is the same old hunk who just happens to split his time evenly between the fitness centre and the day spas. He sports designer robes, splashes exotic fragrances on his body, and prefers smart talk shows over football reruns. In fact, metrosexuals are known to spend more and more time behind the hallowed walls of salons and spas than the average woman today.
A good look at the immense popularity of stars like David Beckham, Hugh Jackman, and Ian Thorpe, who embody metrosexuality and all your questions are answered. Interestingly, a metrosexual’s definition in the eyes of girls is that of an elegant specimen who juggles beauty, brains, and brawns with grace, much in the way Grace Kelly did.

Needless to say, metrosexuals are all the rage in the new age, taking over from the macho breed, as today’s girls like boys who are well groomed, smell good, and have a mind as well. Today, you’ll come across more and more girls attracted to guys who are conscious of their appearance and how they influence the masses rather than trying to present a persona of someone with “roid rage.”

The next time you notice a girl taking interest in you. Step back and think about the situation. Is it because of your new Calvin Klein blazer? Or is it the new Ecco loafers? Perhaps the Hugo boss shirt? Or maybe, it’s the whole package. Because, chances are if it’s even one of those, you are a metrosexual. So just sit back and get ready for a great time. Girls, parties, and beauty spas. What could be better?
