The
Metrotini Martini
As
always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening.
Sometimes when you partake in a few martinis you can end
up a little confused. The martinis can confuse you, but
in this instance it was men that really confused me. The
Metro-tini was what started off this evening of puzzlement.
This martini is a fabulous combination of Vodka and Orange
Liqueur, with the addition of cranberry juice and lime.
It is the perfect balance between sweet and sour. The
Metro-tini was waiting for me as I sat down at the newest
trendy martini bar. I was spending the evening with my
very dear and loving friends, who I will refer to as the
gay boys. I always know that an evening with the gay boys
will be one that is filled with uncontrollable laughter,
because they are two of the funniest people I have ever
met.
The
boys had selected this hot spot because it was supposed
to be a great mix of hot gay and straight men with a lot
of beautiful woman. The straight men had finally figured
out that women love to hang out with gay men, and that
their chances of picking up a woman in a sexually mixed
bar were largely increased because the gay man was no
competition. As I surveyed the room, my sixth sense "gaydar"
was going off. Lots of gorgeous gay men, several metrosexuals
and many beautiful women. Odds were not in my favor but
the eye candy was exceptional.
The Metro-tini was so good we decided on a second round
and this started the great debate of the difference between
the "gay/straight man" and the "straight/gay"
man. According to the boys the "gay/straight"
man is a man who looks and acts gay and deep down inside
is but refuses to admit it. All his friends think he is
gay but will never bring up the topic, he hardly ever
has a girlfriend and he will never come out of the closet.
He is a man whose need to conform to society is greater
than his need to be honest with himself. This can be because
he desperately wants a wife and family or because of not
wanting to be alienated from his family and friends.
“The
“straight/gay” man is commonly referred to
as the metrosexual.”
This is a man
who is straight but looks gay. He is a man who has fantastic
taste in clothes, shoes and home décor. He is also
a man who takes extreme care with his appearance, i.e.
hair, skin and physique. Women love this type of man because
he complements them on everything their girlfriends would.
The best part is that you can go shopping with them. One
of the downsides of metrosexuals is that usually they
can be a little too feminine and are not rugged enough
for some women.
