Maybe I've been living in a vacuum, but I had never even heard of Metrosexuality until you asked the question..... I guess I just need to watch more TV. Either that or buy a dictionary.
Anyway, I agree with Meri. It's all about attracting the ladies. If I'm going out and there is a chance of meeting or picking up girls, I'd do whatever it took to give myself an edge (christ knows I need it). If a TV show is happy to give tips, and a few reminders of the blindingly obvious that help in this quest for girls, I'm all for it.
In my opinion, the reason this show seems so successful is that a straight guy giving pickup tips and advice just isn't credible - mainly because if he was so successful, he would keep it all to himself (bastard!) or be charging $$$ for his advice. But a gay guy? He must be telling the truth......
It's all about competition - survival of the fittest.
