Metrosexual (a portmanteau of metropolitan and heterosexual) is a term for a man who is especially meticulous about his personal style, grooming and appearance. It is often used to refer to heterosexual men who are perceived to be 'effeminate' rather than strictly adhering to stereotypical masculinity standards.
