Nowadays it is not that uncommon anymore to meet a guy who is interested in fashion and his physical appearance as much as women are. These men are called metrosexuals. When it comes to dating a metrosexual guy, some women tend to find their interests a bit confusing and strange. Because most women are used to dating men who could not care less about how they look, dating a metrosexual guy can sometimes throw them off, as they do not know how to act or be around them. Below are some tips to help you understand how metrosexual guys work as well as how to be when you are dating one.
1. Do not make fun of his interest in fashion: You have to understand and accept that fashion is everything to him - it is no joke. If you ever belittle or make fun of how he could be so interested in something that isn't as important to you, it will only tick him off.
2. Try to appreciate his sense of style: Instead of making fun of him for his interest in fashion, try to appreciate it. You won't have to worry about him looking good or picking the right clothing for certain occasions because he will always look immaculate. Enjoy dating this sort of guy instead because you will never find him in old ripped t-shirts and sandals either privately or publicly.
3. You might feel more 'manly' than he is: If you are naturally not that interested or invested in your looks in general then dating a metrosexual guy might make you feel like you are the man in the relationship at times. This is only because of the gender stereotype you grew up with, where you were told that girls like clothes and boys don't. But, if you wipe off that stereotype then dating a guy who is into his looks won't seem that bad.
4. Do not question his sexuality: One of the worst things about being a metrosexual guy is that people tend to assume they are gay. Do not tell the guy you are dating that you doubt his sexuality because this will just come off as rude. Leave this topic out of the conversation entirely.
5. Prioritize your physical appearance because he will: Metrosexual guys take pride in the way they look. To them, the clothes they wear are expressions of their personality. If you do not view clothing the same way then there might be a clash of not only interest but values as well.
6. He can be your shopping buddy: One of the best things about dating a metrosexual guy is having him as your personal shopping buddy! He will be able to help you pick out the clothes that truly emphasize your skin tone, body type and figure. You won't have a bored boyfriend because he will be just as excited to shop with you as you are.
