[the truth]

Ok so in the age of the metrosexual, whatever that means

where some men take care of their appearance almost as much as women

is luke s a poster boy for the modern man?

if he is, then why does his daily grooming make me want to vomit my porridge?

as I watch him pluck his eyebrows, blow dry his hair endlessy, kiss his bicep tatoos and powder up skankley? Im thinking why does this feel so uncomfortable? I feel similarly baout beckham, the mans ego is so out of control and hes soooo over rated and over paid and overhyped, it makes me vomit

many women spend hours day after day looking in the mirror, painting their faces, their nails, getting spray tans, botox, hair extensions, nail extensions, fancy heels, stockings, endless clothes and make up

yet when this guy does the same , I want to pewk?

I dont even understand why I feel so nauseated by it?

Sounds like you might have some deep underlying issues

he he you wasted your best insult just to defend your beloved luke ....at least hes made the final

[Jords]

Its far too much and obsessive. Same with Scott.

[Colbert-Bump]

He's nothing compared to Jason from BB5, he used to stare in the mirror every night literally for hours.

[Saph]

It doesnt help when BB make his grooming a 10 minute montage in the main show :/

[Yayita]

It's not the fact that he's primping himself that maskes you sick... Its the fact that he is so arrogant, conceited and narcissistic that makes you want to pewk when he comes on screen.. I have the same reaction when they show his face with that bored expression and that ridiculous dirty sanchez mustache.

Your posts are allways about the differencces of the sexes.

Alot of men take care of themselves now externaly now. Not every man has to go work in the coal mines, go to the pub then head home to bang out their woman.

i think he needs to step out of the closet before he is lost in narnia forever
there is grooming and then there is just going so overboard that he might as well just go the extra mile and slap on some high heels and a mini skirt. he seems to know a lot about womens shoes so maybe he already does.

I dont know...I cant quite explain why the luke s grooming makes me feel so sick, I get the same feeling whenever I see david beckham too, theres something disturbing about people that in love with themselves

Nothing. But when it takes you half your life like it does with Luke S, it's more of a preoccupation bordering on an obsession.

[chuff me dizzy]

My son is just like Luke, takes great pride in his appearance, i dont see it as a bad thing,better than being a scruffbag

[the truth]

most women are the same but they dont get criticised for it, in fact I dont even think about it, maybe we should start getting used to this?

[Ellen]

I think he just likes to look good & take care of himself. I dont think its a bad thing, better that than than someone who couldnt care less about there appearance.

I say to my daughter in law ,my lad would drive me mad ,when they are going out he takes longer to get ready than her !

[Patrick]

My Family were talking about him the other day and how much he takes care of himself, with all the products, and how vain he is etc

And my Aunt was like 'He has to be gay' and I snapped at them all, because they know fine rightly - I'm exactly like Luke S in terms of taking care of my appearance to an extreme level.
I just think it's ridiculous that in this day and age we're going to base someone's obsession to look their best, as a determination of their sexuality? The guy said himself he's metrosexual.

And to be quite honest, if a guy went into that house and did things like paint their nails and did their make-up [like Scott does] I wouldn't call them gay, if they said they were straight.

At the end of the day it's their choice how they want to look. And to call someone gay for it? Well you're just making a bigger dick out of yourself.

[Livia]

I prefer a manly man. Shower, maybe a dab of aftershave. I wouldn't ever date a man who faffs around with his hair, wears makeup, fake tans and other superfluous preening. It's all a matter of taste, I suppose. I could never put up with a man telling me what shoes went with which outfit either. It's all a bit... feminine.

TMI Patrick. This isn't a therapy session. If you keep responses impersonal, the discussion will remain the same. Sounds harsh, all the same, if all your family assume you're gay and you're not. Though if you are there is absolutely nothing wrong with that....

It would depend, if they did it all whilst washing/showering on a morning & evening then i'd be ok but if it was constant then yes it would be a problem. Would probably drive me up the wall after a while if i had to hang around waiting while they got ready.

[coolface]

I'm more interested if he's natty or on the juice

[AshesonMars]

I don't see what the issue is? Why is it vomit inducing if he takes care of himself? I'd rather that, than some dude who rarely washes or sprays deodorant under their sweaty pits.

I do suspect that Luke S, far from vain, has low self esteem. He has red hair and may have been bullied for it at school. A lad at my school had similar colour hair and he was bullied mercilessly at school for it. I occasionally see him around sometimes, and he looks massively impressive nowadays. You can see he takes great care of himself.

Sometimes, people who seem vain are the exact opposite.
