Ok, this is just too bizarre. I’ll admit that I don’t really get out to bars or clubs and that I haven’t set foot on the dance floor in awhile, but is this article for real?

Admittedly, I don’t know any metrosexuals, but I assume this is because I don’t live in NYC or some other large, metropolitan area. Does this phenomenon exist in LA? Are there ACTUALLY metrosexuals, or is this just something made up by the media?

I do know that I’m a bit more shy and reserved than most girls, but I find it hard to believe that watching a guy “pretending to be a shark while his pal runs away in fright”, “pretending to be kangaroos complete with pouches and Fosters beer”, or “doing a dance routine where he pretends to give birth to a pal” gets women hot to give out their numbers.

It just all seems too goofy—I’d worry the guy was too immature or in the closet to be able to sustain a real relationship. But then, I guess I AM the type that would rather stand around and have a deep conversation than hump on the dance floor (although there is a time and place for such behavior!).

UPDATE 3/18/04: Stuff Magazine published an article in their April issue that mentions gancing. It even demonstrates some of the moves. I still can't believe that guys ACTUALLY do this, but whatever floats their boat!
