I was thinking today about what if the draft was restarted in the event our nation was attacked by a powerful nation, kind of a WW2 scenario. Then that led me to think about all the different types of people in this country, and especially how men are so different these days than the men back in WW2.

So I was thinking now days we have a nation full of metrosexuals.

For those of you who do not know what a metrosexual is, here is a definition.


A man concerned with self-image, by extension personal grooming, fashion, and aesthetics in general; who may or may not be concerned with self-indulgence and money. (Usually urban, heterosexual, often affluent).

Well anyway just imagine if our nation, half full of metrosexuals, fires up a draft in the event of unplanned for war. They would embarass our whole nation and make us look weak. They could lead to our defeat or maybe even worse make our entire nation the butt of many a good joke for the rest of human history.

Could you just imagine a bunch of metrosexuals:
1. Trying to get their uniforms to fit just right
2. Decorating their gun
3. Spending an hour each morning giving themselves the perfect FauxHawk.
4. Plucking each others eye brows
5. Shaving their own or each others personal areas
6. Refusing to march without lotioning their skin or putting a little coverup on their blemishes.
7. Refusing to wear army issued boots, well because they just don't match the rest of the outfit just right.
8. Don't realise the enemy is approaching, because they are too busy looking at themselves in the mirror.
9. Or worse, what if they just decide that camoflauge is too drab and start to load up on bright colors. Then they would be picked off like fish in a barrel.

Just think of the possible destruction that could occur to our nation. Just think of the embarrassment. Just think of the jokes the enemy could come up with if we have a military have full of fancy boys.

I am thinking we should weed this potentially destructive behavior out of our children. I just threw out my sons hair and lotion products and told him to grow a pair, before the whole nation falls because him and his little candy-assed buddies.

I suggest if you see the same behavior in any of your friends and family that you start to weed it out immediately as your very survival could be at stake. Let us hope that these metrosexuals do not become the face of our nation in the next major confrontation that we face.

If you find yourself to be a metrosexal, maybe you should really examine your behavior and its implications for our nation.

Yeah now just imagine being in a foxhole with your metrosexual brother, and you are trying to plan to make a move on the enemy and he is nagging you because you didn't press your fatigues or fix your hair just right. It would be like having your mother in their with you telling you to change your underwear, because you better have clean ones on in the event you take a bullet and end up in the hospital.

Looks like I hit a nerve with someone.

I didn't just make it up to make fun of people. I was contemplating potential future wars and what if the draft had to be reinstituted. I started to think about all the goof balls in this nation and how drafting some different tyes of folks could do a lot of harm to our ability to intimidate the enemy. Don't you understand that a great deal of war is affected by psychology and intimidating the enemy?

How intimdating is it going to be when they stumble on a fox hole full of men plucking each others eye brows and comparing tan lines?

Thanks for understanding where I was coming from. Well I must say if they start demanding to wear pastels then we have no choice but to put them on the frontlines together.

I was laughing because I have quite a few "metrosexual" friends. But then I got to the part where you postulate that they would be

"4. Plucking each others eye brows
5. Shaving their own or each others personal areas "

Really? WTF?


Yeah. What are they going to do if they loose their mirror and after a few weeks there their natural eyebrows start growing back. Do you expect a person to pluck their own eyebrows blind? They would be all torn up and their eyebrows could turn into a trainwreck.

Plus you tell me who in their right mind is going to shave the underside of their jewel sack without a mirror. You might as well just cut them off.

My brother asked me once to shave his back, sorry that kind of things happens.

Of course he was my brother so I told him his son would be a better barber.

As for your point, yes it is more than likely the OP is just having fun.

Thanks for backing up my points with your real life experience. Maybe unless you have one of these metrosexuals in your family then you are sheltered from the full impact of their desire to remove as much hair from their body as humanely possible.

My son once had a broken wrist and went around begging the entire family to pluck the one eyebrow he couldn't get to. Finally, my daughter gave in and waxed it for him. I think she just did it so she could make him scream like a little girl.

Funny thread.

Don't be suprised if the mods dump this in the trash bin after the forum gangs mount a complaint offensive against you.

I suspect this is what happened to a thread of mine yesterday...

Well I never said I could kick your ass, but I am not quite the fat old man you imagine I am.

I am just worried that you metrosexuals are going to bring the whole nation down to a laughingstock if the enemy sneaks up on you while your get lotion rubbed on your back by one of your metrosexual cohorts.

You are right that being fit is a benefit to boot camp, and your idea regarding discipline is spot on. The thing is that metrosexuals are generally so obsessed with their appearance that it borders on mental illness. Maybe they cannot control the behavior, then next thing you got a guy not able to focus on instructions because he is obsessed with why the guy next to him has his pants looking so great.

You dont get around much...I personally have travelled the world.

We are damn near cavemen in comparison to most of europe...now, if you compare us to perhaps the eastern european block, then sure, we may seem a bit light...mostly because we dont have hair growing out of places that hair should never grow...but even there its a divide between metro (aka, men whom wish to look evolved) and the older generation of neandertals.
