Despite many men having more of an interest in their appearance, Darren Kennedy, a television presenter, stylist, and fashion blogger, thinks that Irish men have a long way to go.
"The Irish, as a people, are reluctant to step outside the box to draw attention to ourselves. Particularly with men, I think to be seen to care about what you looked like was and is frowned upon. The mentality is: ‘why the hell would you be interested in looking well, surely an aul GAA jersey and a pair of jeans would do you grand’. And that’s what’s holding a lot of guys back."
Do you think Irish men are becoming more metrosexual?

Real women are pleased to "see men pushing prams down the street," and real women expect men to do more than "a bit around the house." Real women expect men to do their half of what it takes to keep a relationship healthy-- of cooking, cleaning, child raising, money earning, and good conversation and romance. Real women also expect men to spend equal time in the shower and at the bathroom mirror. But it's not how pretty he is; it's how much sex appeal he has, and he can have plenty of sex appeal while he's pushing a pram or tossing a salad. And real women expect men not to be threatened when a real woman speaks her mind.

David doesn't really need much beautifying. Be still my heart. Sigh.

PLEASE give us a break. When are men going to become men again. Soon, I hope. All I ever see now is men pushing prams down the street. As for Beckham, Posh rules the roost and also wears the pants.

Look...Men don't have a feminine side. Got It?.... Women may think it's ..."cute"...for a while but sooner rather than later they will go looking for a Man....for you know the Manly things.

A preening self obsessed tatooed manicured pretty boy millionaire is leading the way to the blending of the sexes.Fair play to him but i'm going to stick to a shower,shave & good dental hygene & continue to carry off the masquerade that theres women out there who dont want to compete with us for time at the salon mirror as outdated as that seems to the new wave of fashionistas & media whores

One petite step for one man, one giant leap for the emasculation of all Irish man.
