Metrosexual?

Is Prince the ALPHA - Metrosexual ?

A metrosexual is defined as a dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side

Definition of METROSEXUAL: a usually urban heterosexual male given to enhancing his personal appearance by fastidious grooming, beauty treatments, and fashionable clothes

Metrosexual is a 2006 Thai romantic-comedy about four women who believe their best friend is about to marry a man who is gay.

I DON'T CARE.... HE'S HOT!!!

EXPRESS YOURSELF, PRINCE!!! Good Luck in NY!

What do the other orgers think?

Prince wears way too much lace to be a metrosexual. He's a straight-up girl. lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I brought it up because I was job searching and ran across this ad for a "Metrosexual female" and I wasn't hip enough.... So I looked it up and immediately thought of our Prince.

He may be THE Brave Pioneer of Metro sexual -ism in my opinion!

I love it!

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

What he wears? I don't care! It's all too the good!

His metticulousness in his choices: clothes, hair, makeup, lyrics make him 100% luscious!

Seriously, a metrosexual would be more like those Jersey shore guys with the tweezed eyebrows, the bronzer, the body waxing.

Prince is cross dressing for the most part.

lol that's why I don't believe in that term cause prior to that term you look at different time periods and ethnic groups and you would have to lump most men into those catagories.

African-American men are very stylish and making sure they step out with everything in place.

Even Hip Hop Culture is very much into their looks style crisp hair cuts & facial trimming bling style etc etc

"Guido" culture

Italian-American & most Puerto Rican & Dominican men are that way too

And all these mentioned above are considered very 'masculine' groups of men

Definition of METROSEXUAL: a usually urban heterosexual male given to enhancing his personal appearance by fastiadious grooming, beauty treatments, and fashionable clothes

To answer the question though I believe this is the meaning of being a metrosexual.....Yes Prince likes to be groomed and fashionable and may be mistaken for gay like most metrosexuals but he takes it a little farther than the metrosexuals I know....Being a heterosexual male that is a big fan of womens clothes and full on makeup....There's a name for him...I'm just not sure what it is....

Androgynous?

According to Wiki,

"For humans, an androgyne (pronounced /ˈændrədʒaɪn/, AN-drə-JYNE) in terms of gender identity, is a person who does not fit cleanly into the typical masculine and feminine gender roles of their society. They may also use the term ambigender to describe themselves. Many androgynes identify as being mentally "between" woman and man, or as entirely genderless. They may identify as non-gendered, genderneutral, agendered, between genders, intergendered, bigendered, pangender or gender fluid.[citation needed]Genderqueer is often used as an umbrella term for the category.[citation needed]

Androgyne was once used as a synonym for hermaphrodite, although the term intersex is now widely used"

"The rise of the metrosexual in the 2000s has also been described as a related phenomena associated with this trend, and traditional gender stereotypes have been challenged as well as reset in recent years dating back to the 1960s and the Hippie movement and Flower power. Artists in film like Leonardo DiCaprio sported the "skinny" look in the 1990s- a departure from traditional masculinity which resulted in a fad known as "Leo Mania"[10], and this came long after musical superstars like David Bowie, Boy George, Grace Jones, Prince, Marilyn Manson and Annie Lennox as well as Michael Jackson challenged the norms in the 1970s and had elaborate cross gender wardrobes by the 1980s"

Yes, I guess androdynous is one way to describe Prince.
