Here you are! Modern enlightened, sort of rennasance man. Secure and confident, capable and cool, typically well educated and stylish. Heterosexual with a twist, not gay by any means, but he probally has a few gay friends, and can easily be mistaken for gay by rednecks and jock types. The only straight guy in a fabric store or antique shop who is not being dragged there by a woman. "You're so metrosexual" Shortened down it means a man who is obsessed by his outer appearance.
"....well educated and stylish" Absolutely. which makes me a minority living in Barnsley. I can honestly say I havent bought a single present from Tarn. all done online. www.harveynicols.com
"...can easily be mistaken for gay " KarenMillentastic. </p> Unless you want a 2nd hand scarf, sausage roll or cheap week in Marbella, there's not much inTARN is there ?</p> That jeweller's in Peel Square's not bad and then there's Pollywotsit but then that means the V6 going back....</p>
"...he probally has a few gay friends.." I can think of 3 that I met recently. went in a local travel agent to investigate my skiing trip to be told they only do Wallace Arnold coach trips to the London Eye. "Town full of codgers, we're just a town full of codgers...."
RE: "...he probally has a few gay friends.." That's because in Barnsley we know how to use the internet and book holidays that way!
