There's been all this stuff, impossible to miss, lately on mass media about some kinda new phenomenon (or at least new media meme) about something called a 'metrosexual'.

This supposed new groups are guys who are more accepting of their feminine side and as a demonstration of this go get pedicures. Why they are 'accepting of their feminine side' and getting pedicures, as opposed to wearing opposite-sex clothing, which is what women do to embrace their masculine sides, is beyond me. And I'm not sure if women can be metrosexuals or not (or are they already?) And what is the difference between a metrosexual and neoyuppy?

But anyway, without departure onto an issue instead of discussion of a houseguest: given that Nathan has gotten a 'pedicure' and the like from some women in the house, perhaps he is one of these 'new' creatures.

Does anybody think this is possible?

Hell, I think he's just bored and likes being pampered. And why not, I say? Why should it just be a feminine trait to like being pampered? More power to him.

as i mentioned in the other metrosexual discussion, pedicures are almost orgasmic so why wouldn't he like getting them. so i guess to answer the question, he is metrosexual.

hi gal <waving>.

What exactly is the deal with a pedicure? I wash my feet, keep the nails clipped. I don't know what else one could do to feet?

the key part of definition of metrosexual:

STRAIGHT men who are comfortable with their so-called feminine side

I have no idea what he is. He just strikes me as the male version of a bimbo, pretty to look at but short in the brains department and extremely shallow.

Goddess is very wise. Even a thoroughly masculine buck like myself enjoys the occasional indulgence of a good foot massage by lovely lady barristers. hmm hmm hmm … thump thump thump

I agree with Goddess.

Heck, if I had guys fawning over my feet, I'd sit back and enjoy it, too. (BTW my feet are ugly)

I think Nate needs to mature a bit more... sexually, I mean. He's 23 and may not have had enough girls yet, especially when he's waiting for a virgin girl. Some young men still like to go out with their buddies until they bump into a nice girl, fall in love and become sufficiently sexually active to mature that way. After 25 going on 30 they'll have had enough sex then when they decide to get married they're old men already. There are late bloomers among men as well and Nate is one of them... Just give him enough time to find a nice girl or even better a virgin and he will never let her go...

Cross, there is nothing more relaxing than a good foot massage. The only thing that comes close is a good hand massage. I'm going limp just thinking about it.

I agree with Goddess, he's bored out of his gourd and it feels good so why not?

I like men who groom and have nice nails and toes and give themselves a nice ahem! trim. So I guess I like metrosexuals too

Now, men wearing makeup and who are more vain than me, no thank you!

The only guys I ever liked in makeup were Boy George, Phil Oakey and Ric Ocasek back in the 80's. Lol

Nate reminds me of my BIL, who shaves all body hair and does all the clothes shopping for my sister and niece. My sister doesn't even have to be there, he always picks out stuff she likes. Too girly for me but I love my bil.

The only hand massage I ever got was from a physical therapist. He did my entire body and saved my hands for last. It was oo-la-la. :)

I don't really care what kind of "sexual" Nathan or anyone else in the house is. And I don't know what taking good care of one's feet has to do with being feminine or masculine anyway. Now, if you're talking about getting the nails painted bright red at the end of the pedicure, okay, but that's not necessarily part of the process. :)

And yes, hand massages are nice, too, although the feet have more nerve connections to the rest of the body than the hands do.

BTW, your feet are possibly the most overworked, under appreciated parts of the body and they DESERVE to be treated nicely, IMHO, no matter what your gender.

Ocean, I was the one who started that Metrosexual thread after a news program I saw. Please allow me the pleasure of putting NATHAN into the group with the others who are part of the "new phenomenon". <M>
I vote yes, he's one of these "new creatures" as you put it!!!:-) He could lead the pack...

Being a guy I totally agree that a foot massage is very relaxing and feels extremely good. When I go in for a massage I always make the lady spend a few extra minutes on my feet. The hands were OK, but I would rather skip them and spend more time on the feet. As far as the pedicure and polishing, I agree he was totally bored and just let the ladies have fun.

RE: Hand massage.

WHen I was in college, a date took me to the movies. I was VERY attracted to this person and it was the first time we'd been out. I spent the entire movie massaging his hand. I don't think he paid much attention to the movie. :) We dated for quite a while.

Holy Cow, I left to go cut grass and came back and now there is a new kinda sexual. I'm gonna go weedeat now...I'm almost scared to look.

ps I think Nathan is the only male child and was raised with sisters. He's probably been more exposed to "his feminine side" than the average guy.
