I just want to know your thoughts. Is this possible? Has anyone been in a relationship with one? Or is their such a thing?
For me effeminate and metrosexual are 2 completely different things. I would date a metrosexual man but not an effeminate man. One acts like a woman while the other like to pamper themselves like one. Some guys are both.
Metrosexual -
A heterosexual male that:
-is ONLY attracted to women
-give great attention to his appearance
-uses plenty of skin/hair care products
-dresses in style and enjoys shopping
-is hip to all things sophisticated
-prefers wine to beer
-is extremely name-brand conscious
-enjoys hosting parties/events
-is a romantic with an appreciation for art

I'm not seeing the difference in these definitions. Stereotypically feminine traits, tastes, habits are listed under the metrosexual man.
I'm not sure if I believe in bisexuality, I'm one who thinks those people are just being greedy. Chose a sex and stick with it.
But does anyone believe that a gay man can be physically attracted to and aroused by a woman. Meaning if a male you suspect might be gay, enjoys heterosexual intercourse, is that proof enough that he's straight?

For me a man is effeminate not only because he acts like a girl as in pampering himself , liking the finer things in life etc but the effeminate characteristic is shown in his hand gestures, the way he walks, holds himself, talks sits etc. Metro sexual men can be the masculine alpha male without being effeminat. An effeminate man is not a masculine man-but a masculine man can be metrosexual. The effeminate man is girly in more ways than just liking to go to the ballet, liking art, having pedicures etc- that is the difference.
EG
Frasier (in the sitcom Frasier) is metrosexual and the supporting character in Will and Grace- the guy- (not Will) is effeminate but not necessarily metrosexual.
P Diddy is metrosexual but not effeminate, the gay guy in real housewife of Atlanta (Nene Friend? I think) is very effeminate and also metrosexual
