It seems that 'metrosexuality' is sweeping Korea if articles in
the Korean nationals are to be believed. The Chosun English News defines
'metrosexuality' as:
"a term denoting males who possess feministic esthetic sense and who
show greater interest in one's looks and fashions." At this juncture
in time, at the least, metro sexual is undoubtedly a new "commodity" of
the mass media and an attraction. "
QEK would like to point out that most gay men have been living
embodiments of this definition for many years. Does that mean therefore
that 'metrosexuality' is actually 'homosexual style' finally taken onboard
by 'heterosexual' men? In which case, it can hardly be descibed as a
"new commodity" now can it?

It is invariably true that gay men do tend to be light years ahead
of their STR8 conterparts when it comes to matters of fashion,
grooming, music, style etc - well actually just about everything
of any kudos!
Now the bad news, STR8 boys. As usual, you've missed the boat and
I'm afraid the good ship Dorothy sailed away many moons ago and is
already cruising in oceans new as she long since left the tired old
port of 'Metrosexual'.
I suggest you pick up a copy of The Advocate, Gay Times or Attitude
for further details. Oh those STR8 boyz - when will they learn?
