Jā, tieši tāds bija mans ģeniālais plāns.

**Metrosexual** is a dated term for a man—typically urban and often assumed heterosexual—who is highly attentive to fashion, grooming, skincare, and personal style. It combines *metropolitan* and *heterosexual*. [merriam-webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metrosexual)

## Meaning and origin

British writer Mark Simpson coined the word in 1994. It became especially popular in the early 2000s, when media and advertising used it for stylish, self-conscious men such as David Beckham. [en.wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual)

A metrosexual was commonly imagined as someone who:
- Follows fashion and spends on clothes
- Uses skincare, hairstyling, and grooming products
- Cares about fitness, aesthetics, and an upscale urban lifestyle [merriam-webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metrosexual)

## Important nuance

Despite the “-sexual” ending, the term does **not** describe sexual orientation. A man described as metrosexual could be straight, gay, bisexual, or otherwise; the label concerns appearance and lifestyle, not whom he is attracted to.

The term is now largely dated and can be problematic: it often implied that grooming or fashion were inherently “feminine” or gay-coded, and it was sometimes used pejoratively. Today, people are more likely simply to say someone is **well-groomed**, **fashion-conscious**, or **style-focused**. [en.wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrosexual)
