WOMEN: Would you date a metrosexual male?

I'm writing a research paper on the impact & effects of metrosexuality in American Metropolitan culture. One of the ideas is to look at how the metrosexual male impacts women and women view them.

Some of the questions to consider in your answers:
> Would you date a metrosexual male?
> Why would (or wouldn't) you date/marry a metrosexual?
> What traits do (or doesn't) appeal to you about metrosexuals?
> Are you (or would you be) friends with metrosexuals?
> Is there anything that bothers you about metrosexuals?
> Do you think being metrosexual makes a man less masculine?

Some traits of metrosexuals:
- Heterosexual (has no problems with gay friends)
- Indulges in feminine-style vanity (ie: Salons instead of barbers, Spas, checking mirrors)
- Do/Pay anything for the current & best quality (ie: higher than average cost hair care, clothing, accessories)
- Disregards many traditional gender boundaries

Famous Metrosexuals:
+ David Beckham
+ Dominic Monaghan
+ Mike Greenberg
+ Ryan Seacrest
In order for the information that comes from this website to be included in my paper, it needs to be posted by Friday, August 10th, 2007.

The paper will sent in by that evening, but I'll keep the question open because it is a very interesting topic with no right or wrong answer.

Please try to be as grammatically correct as you can. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Just for clarity: No, I wasn't procrastinating. The idea of using Yahoo Answers just came to me a tonight as a great place to survey the general (electronic) public lol.
Please do not cite sources and surveys you cannot link me to.

I need your own personal opinions, Thank you!
NB: METROSEXUALS DO NOT QUESTION THEIR HETEROSEXUALITY. They are secure in their straightness (so to speak), not questioning if they are bisexual or homosexual. This statement is in no offense to people that are learning more about themselves, their orientation and their personal feelings. For the sake of the survey, I had to clarify this.

According to multiple recent studies, women allegedly prefer the feminine qualitied man for long term relationships. I cant figure that out because I see a heck of a lot of really great women with total loser A-holes with dead end job prospects who drink, do drugs and are abusive but oh well the studies claim a different reality

Im married…but if I were currently dating, I think I would have trouble dating someone who pampers themselves more then I do or even using more hair care products then I do. Dont get me wrong, men who take care of themselves is a turn on, but a turn off if they over do it.

Yes I would date a metrosexual male but it would depend on the other aspects of their personality.
I would date them because I find gender boundries stupid, people should be whoever they feel most comtable with and I would like that someone is emotionally strong enough to do that. However, if they were vain and all about their looks, it would be a huge turn-off. It's the equilivent of 'masculine' men who work out just so they have muscles because they think it looks good. Someone obsessed with their looks and how they are percieved would bore me.
I wouldn't call any of my male friends metrosexual or even 'masculine', they are what they are. i prefer personality over labels.
To an extent. I think metrosexual would make you less 'masculine' but it doesn't mean that he would be less of a 'man' as he can still do everything a man does.
