So... only men can be stereotyped? I'm confused by this use of "bro" because I call my lady friends "bro" all the time because it sounds stupid and hilarious.
^da faq? The title says "HEY BRO! YOU A METROSEXUAL OR A SPORNOSEXUAL?" This thread is regarding 3 sterotypes of men, the average guy, the guy that cares about his wardrobe and personal appearance, and the guy that cares more about his body and personal appearance. There is now simply an observation that the spornosexual is different from a metrosexual, and there is a significant difference.
Not belittling - but if this is seriously news to people then there is seriously a huge age gap in understanding, a lack of a college education, or you live in a very rural area - not saying any of that is wrong but I'd venture to say that is accurate.0 -

actually your a 37 yr old women...from SC, so this isn't remotely applicable to you...
Wow...because I disagree with you, I'm a b...lmao... 'in my opinion' coming from a marketing background I'm so curious about your guys demographic now. - I totally pegged this way off before posting this thread.. I thought I'd see tons and tons of "c's"
Why do we need labels for everyone? - because people are actually not very unique - everyone feels special and unique and that's great but when it comes down to it you can be compartmentalized in little boxes and labels so advertisers can hit you up... 'in my opinion' that is why you have cookies tracking you and giants like Amazon and Google knowing exactly how to move you.
Welcome to the times bro.
No. We actually don't need labels for everyone. Advertising/marketing is a completely different subject. I'm sorry I don't need to label myself as something to feel unique. Are there other people out there that are possibly my doppelgangers, sure! Do I care? No.
It's like you're trying to compare apples and oranges.
Personally, I'd rather live my life and enjoy it, then sit around wondering what everyone's "label" is.
the label would make you not unique man?! and if you don't care no one forced you on my thread... but I'll just take it as we got another B up in here. -_-
^nothing wrong with that, just saying its not applicable.0 -

But I can still weigh in on new ridiculous words and labeling people and believe it's completely ridiculous.0 -

Wait... wait... wait...
So this thread is all about men who either care about how they look in clothes or how they look out of them?
And this doesn't apply to women because women couldn't possibly have these concerns?
:huh:
:noway:

Awaits obligatory "kitchen" joke.Mark Simpson came up with Spornosexual and unless you willfully live under a rock you'd know he came up with Metrosexual.. basically a wetdream for people who work in marketing.
Who is Mark Simpson?
WTF is Spornosexual
Metrosexual is one of the stupidest words I've ever heard in my life
How about.... we just all be humans? And individuals? Why this need to constantly put people in boxes with a label on?
"the rise of the ‘spornosexual’ - a social media- and selfie-obsessed male who takes cues on his appearance from sport and porn.
While metrosexuals fretted over their wardrobes and their complexions, the spornosexual’s primary concern is his body. Still not sure where you fit in all this? Take Telegraph Men’s spornosexual quiz to find out… "

:surprised:

no... there are labels for women as well... sheesh I just said this. This THREAD is regarding TWO LABELS a METROSEXUAL and a SPORNOSEXUAL a SPORNOSEXUAL is a BRAND NEW LABEL that will be VERY VERY Popular over the next few months. This is BRAND NEW and it is APPLICABLE - did you see what my source was for this article? Did you see WHOM I said came up with the new term?! Women have labels - I did not make a thread regarding the labels of women because they did not just have a breaking news label came out.
NO it is not applicable to you. Guys and girls have these concerns- we have different labels because we are MUCH different. There are very specifics in regards to what you actually are, and a women COULD NOT be either - its is not applicable.0 -

I'm glad to see that living under a rock had prevented me thus far from hearing these terms or whoever came up with them.Mark Simpson came up with Spornosexual and unless you willfully live under a rock you'd know he came up with Metrosexual.. basically a wetdream for people who work in marketing.
I wonder what has to be wrong with someone that they would take pride in being a walking stereotype.

That you think a watch or painting lend credence to the idea that you are anything more than a man who owns a watch and painting is pretty telling.0 -

I couldn't have gotten the status I have now without the multiple degrees I got. I'd venture to say in these times, unless you are an extreme outlier or blessed even more than me you need a degree to be rocking an omega watch and to be dropping a few G's to have a painting contracted out.0 -

LOL you think that this purile set of stereotypes sums up all men :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Go travel to another country and see some other cultures. Increase your life experience. Widen your social circle a bit. Maybe study some anthropology. Seriously, if you really believe what you're saying and you're not just trolling for kicks then you must be extremely naive and lacking in life experience. :laugh:0 -

Yeah, I'm an uneducated bumble for thinking posting a topic all about stereotyping men (which is done enough without crap like this) is not only asking for it, but just ridiculous.
Why does it matter what we call a guy that cares about what he eats, looks like, or shares on social media?
ETA: I'm for real abandoning this thread now, disengaging.0
