8. No, there's a difference between dandies/fops and metrosexuals
a metrosexual is a consumer whore, a target market, and doesn't necessarily have to have any SKILLS other than looking like a quasi-castrate

I don't know, I suppose when I think of a DANDY I think of guys like Poe (when he was young, anyway) or Wilde, or I associate it perhaps with a Bohemian, antibourgeois element. They didn't just obsess over their complexion and abs. They had SUBSTANCE

Yeah
