Ultra Random Thoughts

A man concerned with self-image, self-indulgence and money. (Usually urban, heterosexual, probably affluent). A man who is seen, sociologically, as having attributes common to homosexuals, but is in fact heterosexual.

An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. -metrosexuality n.

Both refer to the urban male who dresses well and spends money on his appearance. However, both also fall into the pit fall of trying to emphasis the spending and by highlighting the cash element.

I disagree. Metrosexuality isn't about how concerned with cash you are or how much you spend. Neither is it about self indulgence. Could you really define a man who over indulges with food and booze and spends thousands on branded suits that don't fit, a metrosexual? No! These definitions are weak.

The metrosexual man has also been defined as "being in touch with his feminine side" As with the previous definitions the answer is in some ways yes and in some ways no.

The fact is the metrosexual man has realized the importance, and the matching benefits, of taking care of one's appearance. The metrosexual man has taken this realization and has been smart enough to put a price on it.

It is believed that first impressions are made in 3 -6 seconds, 55% of the impression is determined by appearance, 30% based on tone of voice and only 15% based on what you say.

Put a price on it! Dressing well gets you 55% of the way there. Knowing you look great adds a tone of confidence to your voice and gets you through the next 30%. Bingo! First impression - 85% before you've said anything.

Metrosexuality therefore isn't measured by self indulgence or how much you spend it's measured by that first impression. The cost? Whatever it takes for YOU as an individual to create that perfect first impression.

And so I give you my definition of a metrosexual: A new breed of man, unafraid to look and feel his best at all times.

Its simple and it's flexible, spend what you need to spend, act how you want to act but feel great about it.

Paolo Despabiladeras Ramos

About Me:
First of all I would like to thank you for checkin me out, being my "blogspot" buddy and leaving COMMENTS. *hahaha* I really do appreciate that. Okay, now my name is Paolo, Im 16 years old, Medical Technology student. I am VERY friend and family oriented, blah blah blah..

I am a simple boi, but most people who know me might say I am materialistic, because I buy really expensive (useless) objects. I guess you can say I do it just to get me thru my lonely days. I love to laugh (its like the best thing anyone can do in my opinion), hang with people I feel comfortable with and do the usual things that most like to do.

I don't smoke, do drugs and I don't want getting drunk on occasion. I don't like when people throw their lives away by doing dumb things that physically and mentally hurt them... those are the people who tear their families apart, hate life everyday and dont care about the opinions of the people who really care for them (not realizing they NEVER only affect themselves). I must say, I believe in choice, so if u r one of those peeps, I wont judge you or treat you differently.

Life is WAY too short to live with hate or grudges, just laugh them all away, think about it, is it really gonna matter in 100 years? Life is a carnival; there is never going to be a permanent high. With good morals, a light heart and faith in yourself you can do whatever you want. So start over again, talk to the peeps you said you would never even look at again, get close with family and friends and most importantly, be yourself and watch everyone flock to you.

Im not saying Im always peaches n crme, cuz Im not. I make mistakes everyday, have bad days, get depressed and am confused all the time, but I am human (and damn proud of it!). Im open to talk to anyone. I speak my mind (and if u get a compliment frm me, jst knw its true cuz dont like to lie)

Who I Want to Meet:
Friends and potential lovers of course.. hahaha! ;) My friends say that I'm picky. That, I'd definitely have to agree with. I want someone that I'm attracted to of course, but not attracted JUST to their appearance and at the expense of sounding really cliche, someone I'm attracted to who they are and what they have on the inside. It's not what you have on the outside that matters to me the most. I want someone to spoil with my emotional support. Someone that wants a happy relationship. I want other's to look at us and be like "they are so happy together, why can't we be like that?" that's hot. Also, someone who will give me attention, someone who wants to be together as much as our schedules allow. I want someone to wake up to in the morning that puts a smile on my face and gives me that extra boost to start my day.

As for me, I'm the type of guy who will hold you when you're crying and wipe away your tears. I'm the guy who is content to just be able to hold you and wants nothing more. I'm the guy who's perfectly happy with staying in and watching movies and cuddling. I'm the guy who will text you and tell you "I miss you and wish you were here" just because. I'm the guy who kisses you on the forehead. I'm the guy who will hold you while we watch the sunset and make sure you know you're the most precious thing in my life. I'm the type of guy that will bring happiness into my and your world no matter the circumstances. You'll never feel so loved in your life and that's for sure. I will go beyond means to make you happy just to see that beautiful smile of yours.

To me, there's nothing better in life than knowing your partner appreciates you as much as you appreciate them. Feeling loved and being in love is one of life's greatest blessings, you can label me as a hopeless romantic. I love doing things for people (especially people I'm interested in romantically). I can get pretty creative too. To me, the most important thing in life you can ever give someone is TIME, because it's something you cant control and have very little of. I just hope one day I can find that one person that I can give my time to.

I want someone that has goals in life, and isn't afraid to go for them, someone that actually deserves the love and effort I put forth in a relationship, someone that I can be in love with, and be loved by, I know that finding love in "my world" is difficulty if not nearly impossible, but I'd like to think that their is someone for everyone, and that one of these days someone will come up to me, and all we have to do is look into each others eyes, and just smile, because we won't have to say anything, we'll just know, because we'll feel it, I want to find that someone that I can connect with deeply, emotionally and physically, someone that is willing to be my soul mate and my best friend...
