NeedToJump 0 #5 August 1, 2003 QuoteThe Future of Men report noted, "One of the telltale signs of metrosexuals is their willingness to indulge themselves, whether by springing for a Prada suit or spending a couple of hours at a spa to get a massage and facial." They might devote an afternoon to choosing their ultrafashionable attire for the night. So a being a metrosexual has nothing to with with gender and sex but rather money and the willingness to throw it away on something useless (ie. not skydiving) Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #14 August 1, 2003 I think that I have come up with a working definition of the undeveloped man: 1) Gets a 5 dollar haircut 2) Chews his nails down 3) Drinks beer 4) Drinks wine, too, but doesn't need a sommelier to tell him what he likes 5) Will actually eat animal flesh 6) Understands sports 7) Doesn't drive a BMW or Mercedes 8) Loves his wife and kids more than himself 9) Doesn't have a personal trainer 10) Won't spend $300 to be a walking billboard for Versace or some other designer label 11) Can't see spending 50 dollars for slice of uncooked fish when a burritos is 69 cents at Taco Bell I can't say I meet all those categories...

FliegendeWolf 0 #20 August 1, 2003 QuotePEOPLE!!!!, there are ONLY 2 GENDERS, Male and Female, stop this nonsense. Well, not exactly: Quotegenáder Pronunciation: 'jen-d&r Function: noun Etymology: Middle English gendre, from Middle French genre, gendre, from Latin gener-, genus birth, race, kind, gender -- more at KIN Date: 14th century 1 a : a subclass within a grammatical class (as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical forms b : membership of a word or a grammatical form in such a subclass c : an inflectional form showing membership in such a subclass 2 a : SEX b : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex What you are referring to is sex - male or female. Gender does not refer to one's biology but to one's emotional behavior. So male and female do not refer to gender but to sex. Gender has been historically referred to in terms of masculine and feminine. However, as TheRus has pointed out, the terms masculine and feminine hardly contain the wide spectrum of behavioral traits that one might have (i.e. Pussy). Thus, this new gender label can be seen to bridge the gap. The problem is the term Metrosexual. It's a misnomer as what the article describes are behavioral traits associated with a specific sex and orientation - not the sex or orientation themselves.A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uma 0 #23 August 2, 2003 I don't know about adding a whole new sexual classification, but last week I went to get my nails done and there were 3 guys there also getting theirs done. Granted, I hadn't been to a nail salon in a couple of years, but I was a little surprised. Not that I don't appreciate nice hands/nails in a guy, but it just struck me as odd.

billvon 2,991 #25 August 2, 2003 >Hermaphrodites have both sex organs, but one is DOMINANT, > example, a male with a vagina or a woman with a penis. There are essentially no human hermaphrodites. Males and females use exactly the same fetal structures for their sex organs; they just develop differently. So to get a human with both sets of sex organs the following has to happen: 1. there has to be a fetal abnormality that causes two complete sets of sexual organs to grow; this is about as likely as having a fetal abnormality that gives you four functional eyes. 2. one set has to get androgens and the other set has to get estrogens so they develop according to their programming. Since you'd essentially need two circulatory systems to make this happen, that's really unlikely. Most claims of hermaphrodites come from people of inconclusive gender i.e. someone who looks very much like a woman but is genetically male and has a very large clitoris. The 'default' sex is female; if any of a number of things go wrong during development the phenotype reverts partly or completely to female even if they are genetically male. Worms, OTOH, have multiple sets of male and female sex organs on their bodies; generally neither is dominant over their whole life. Frogs even change sexes on occasion. Of course you could do surgery on a human and give him both sets of organs, but that's a created, not a true, hermaphrodite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
