Ask your readers questions to pique their interest about metrosexual, something like: What's prompting men to go beyond male stereotypes, particularly on ways that some might consider unmanly? What's the psychology behind what differentiates metrosexual from homosexual? What's pushing this trend toward the blurring of gender lines?

Read on Mark Simpson, the British writer specializing in pop culture and masculinity. He coined the term metrosexual in 1994. Read on Louis Berman's "The Puzzle: Evolutionary Puzzle of Male Homosexuality", which may give you insight into the psychology of metrosexuality. He also wrote psychological commentaries on metrosexuality. Read on the life of flamboyant Oscar Wilde who, except for his homosexual orientation, was probably externally the quintessential metrosexual. Of course, he was a century ahead of his time. I'll give you links if you think my ideas are within the scope of your research.

Daim, did you have to choose such a boring topic? why don't you research on retrosexuals like myself? Rule number 1 for retrosexuals:

"If you have a problem, DEAL WITH IT!"

Haha. I did a paper on Metrosexuality last year.

I got a good grade on it but there's no way I'll give you my paper.
