CNBC anchors are debating the definition of a "metrosexual" amongst themselves. (Hint: not what Joe Kernen thinks it is-- "a guy who lives on the Upper East Side.")

I thought it was simply a straight guy that tries as much as possible to emulate an urban gay guy, without actually sucking teh cock.

A guy who lives on the UES is not a metrosexual. You're thinking of a douchebag.

and where, mktmkr, should one live? Please tell. Not upper west - that's for babbling old people clinging to rent controlled apartments, that eat in diners and let the soup drip down their chins. Not Village, its noisy. Not Murray Hill, too much traffic. Not SoHo, too shopping mall. Not Chelsea, too gay. Maybe Tribeca, but not till you have three children. That only leaves Wash Hts, which is too long a subway ride. I'm waiting.

Not pissed off at all. What the F do I care? I just want to hear what the rational argument is for not wanting to live UES. And don't give me the people are aholes. They're aholes everywhere in greater NY, including Hoboken, Brooklyn and Astoria. Its part of the culture here.

They always argue against the UES because.....they can't afford it.

I heard its the hipsters who we have to blame for the bedbug epidemic. Shitty restaurants, my next door neighbor is Daniel, ever hear of it? yeah, you probably haven't.
Hoboken has its perks, i agree. Its a great place to go for a one ngiht stand and buy one get one free beers. But i only feel like reliving my college glory days once a year. Otherwise, thank you but no thank you.

@ GinNTonic - Absolutely not. I love the neighborhood. However I have never been to Big Easy and I refuse to go back to Dorrian's. I've never been in a room with that many tools at once in my life. Not to mention, I don't wear cardigans and pearls when I go out so it's just not my scene.

I've never heard anyone say "I've made it - I live in here" that's so toolish.
Of course, I agree with the assessment that the UES is boring, stuffy, relies on one train lin which is particularly disgusting and slow, and has more Tasti Delites (sic?) per capita then any area in its right mind should have...but then you also have museums and the park, so you are nearly forgiven...nearly.

Back to the original subject, I didn't see the anchor debate about metrosexuals, but I can't believe they wouldn't have just cited Dennis Neale as being about as stereotypical metrosexual as possible. Or perhaps he was the one who brought up the subject.

Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 11:33AM
there's def a Dorrian's type, and they all seem to feel comfortable only around each other. You can also find them, but aged a few years, at the bar at Orsay.
Posted by GinNTonic , May 23, 2008 11:35AM
UES is fine during the daytime (ie Central Park, East River, H&H Bagel).
It's at night when all the dbags show up at Dorrians, Jack Russells, Ship of Fools, etc.
Yes, the 6 blows (4,5 is fine). Try doing the walk of shame on a Saturday, Sunday morning and you'll sit around for the 6 stewing about last night for hours waiting for the train.
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 11:36AM
H&H is on Bwy/80. What are you thinking?
Posted by girl , May 23, 2008 11:37AM
ahaha
"stewing about last night" is that a good or bad thing?
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 11:40AM
Gin, you have a point. I did once, a while back, wake up at 81st and 1st (dont know how or why) and walked a good 60 blocks due to lack of service on the 6. I have since reffered to it as the longest walk of shame ever. This was of course before I was wise enough to get my ass out of gramercy and into the UES.
Also, living there is perfectly fine. Going out there though at night... I would rather slit my wrists and sit in a sink.
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 11:40AM
The entire UES is full of d-bags, this seems to be the consensus here.
If that is the case then where should I be hanging out? Mid-town, both East and West, sucks. The LES is full of hipsters and B&T. Meat packing is okay, but it is expensive and there is a decent amount of Jersey repreenting on the weekends. What does that leaveme with?
Posted by GinNTonic , May 23, 2008 11:44AM
Whats the charm of Dorrians? If you consider jailbait looking like walking easter egg baskets charming, then yes it has a lot of fing charm.
@11:36
H&H on 2nd Ave / 80s also. The original is on Bwy.
@girl
Since the only single girls who live in the UES are cougars and JAPs, it's a bad thing.

The worst part of subway ride of shame, is that it's like an awful cologne/perfume. Everyone on the train smells it and gives you a look.
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 11:56AM
How is day-drinking unappealing? It mixes some fo the best things life has to offer; booze, sports, chicks, and endless time until last call. If anything it constitutes the ultimate recipe for disaster. Not to mention, if you actually do pull of the one-day stand (in lack of better terminology) you can go for the two-fer after a quick nap. Which, for a guy, truns what is frequently ill-named the 'walk of shame' into a sure fire 'walk of triumph'. just saying...

Posted by Anal_yst , May 23, 2008 12:04PM
The consensus is that dbags are everywhere, in manhattan, brooklyn, hoboken, pretty much anywhere within a 40-mile radius, and there is no escaping.
There is only choosing which particular variety of d-bag you wanna hang around.
That is all.
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 12:06PM
Its not hiding gayness, its GAY period. You say it mixes booze, sports, chicks. From what I've seen, when day drinking is involved women are rare and if there at all, skanky. Its like frat house shenanigans. Guys being with guys. What I'm saying is if you really enjoy guys so much, admit it and take it to the next pleasurable level. GAnalYst

I'm pretty low, but not low enough to make a girl pay for my cab. The problem with cabs though is that they might actually ask you "how was last night?" In the subway, you only get the grins and snickers from people.

ganalyst, thanks for ruining the thread. I don't post much up here but I read it a lot, and it seems as though you are more or less obsessed with homosexuality being some underscore of every activity straight guys enjoy participating in. Seriously, get over it already. No one is interested.
Trash it all you want, but for many of us it (day-drinking) is a much needed escape from our girlfriends constant bitching, and a good excuse to get that much needed escape. Don't get me wrong, girlfriends are great almost all of the time, but sometimes you just need a break.
And blonde, thank you for not wearing pearls out at night. Girls like that are generally pretentious bitches... in my experience.

@12:14 - concur on the pearls analysis.
UES has some perfectly fine bars...as do most neighborhoods...but if you've heard interns discussing them (dorrian's, moe's, mcfaddens, mad river all leap to mind) probably best to find somewhere else.
Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 12:18PM
@12.14--you really dig gays dont you? everything about you screams.."I am gay, let my out of the closet." Real men dont bitch about their girlfriends, they take them to fun, interesting places and adore them.
(Chicks who wear pearls are fine. Its the fake, cheap jewelery thats annoying.)

Worked really late last night and then missed a meeting this morning because I forgot to check my calendar because I was so tired last night. Off to a great start of the day! Brunhilde (my top boss) and Jackie G. (a man, nicknamed for a famous dead comedian and my immediate boss) are sure to notice the missed meeting. I think Jackie G. was in the meeting, and his favorite activity is to run into Brunhilde's office with the latest derogatory information about a member of her "team."

I don't subscribe to this whole (pardon the pun) "cougar" moniker thing. What do real cougars or people who went to the University of Houston have to say about it? It as grating as the neo-embedded, subjectively referential and current immensly popular phrase "back in the day".... and where the hell did that come from and who allowed it to happen?

Statistics compiled by New York City say Manhattan is 23.7 square miles. The variety of the neighborhoods within those square miles is awesome. The one thing all Manhattan neighborhoods seem to have in common is fumes. I'm not saying you can't have a beautiful apartment somewhere in Manhattan, because obviously you can, but unless the chaffeur drives you everywhere, you're going to be smelling fumes along your daily route.

Older women, 50-70 or so, nice legs...especially calves & ankles, thigh-high nylons, shaved pussy, sweet panties/thong, manicured, pedicured, cultured, nice smile, long slender neck, eyes that sparkle, nice coiffure, and they make me want more.
Been in love with them since I was seventeen, and that was a long time ago.

Nope, just senseless woman degrading humor. Thought you could use some. Talking about wearing pearls on a f*cking finance board, you are asking for it - and a donkey punch.
Fact is (99.9% true is as good as fact), if you are posting here (work in banking) and you are female - then you are downright - only a face your mother could love - ugly.
Enjoy the weekend! Bye!

I'm endlessly entertained by people who complain that a neighborhood's bars and those who frequent them aren't cool enough. Are you really so lame and insecure that you need to be in the right "scene" to enjoy yourself?
I live in the Upper East Side and divide my time fairly equally between bars in all corners of the city. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a cocktail at Freeman's, sometimes I'm in the mood for body shots with that hot Mad River bartender. Live and let live.
Still, Dorrian's is about as cool as a bag of dicks.

Posted by guest , May 23, 2008 1:58PM
@1:46, it's me @1:38. To answer your question, Ann B was 36 when she made "The Graduate." That reiterates my thoughts all the more as I find that to be prime cougar age.
Posted by GinNTonic , May 23, 2008 2:06PM
Banker chicks are only in the top 10 bucket if you have yellow or curry fever. I do agree that they have great personalities. Sarcastic, witty, pretentious, dress well , and depressingly cynical. Just like me, minus the boobs and long hair.

Right you are. But then again, You selected Ann B as the object of your cougar definition. I'll stick with my original range.
In the summer when I was seventeen, I enjoyed my first; she was thirty-three. Not long before, while still at boarding school I read the inspirational book, " In Praise of Older Women". The encounter with Elizabeth was somewhat awkward. My inexperience was obvious, but she was kind, and very affectionate, and I loved her for the tenderness she shared with me.
Elizabeth was the younger sister of my good friend's mother.

Can someone throw a blanket over the heads of TGFD and TOGFD, tie them (him)up, and drag them (him) off the site?
(If someone wants to go as far as to beat them (him) senseless until they (he) shut(s) up, I won't be the one who tells the cops.)
Did they (he) really bring up cow tipping again? CAN'T TAKE IT.
TGFD and TOGFD are in their (his) late fifties. No wonder they (he) define a "cougar" as someone 50 - 60. They're (he's) not talking about older women like the rest of you guys are. They're (he's) talking about their (his) peers!
It's very reassuring for TGFD and TOGFD to think of women 50 - 60 as "cougars." They (he) probably think of themselves as "stud(s)."
The sexual reminiscence of TGFD/TOGFD turned my stomach faster than anything else I can remember. Please, no more! There is a lot of tasteless crap on this site, but TGFD/TOGFD go into a world of twisted banality (and of course, confused identity) too bizarre for outsiders to endure!

You sound like a twentysomething, elitist liberal who thinks that because age discrimination happens only to old people, it is of no concern to you and to your friends because you are not old. You probably don't know many old people either, and anybody over 40 is old to you.
If this thread had been left to you and to those like you, it would have died an early death because of the boring shit you would have droned about.
You should try to speak for yourself. You are the one who should "STFU please". I added the "please" just as you did..."So as not to offend".

I believe TGFD/TOGFD have slipped back into deeper anonymity.
Guests @ 5/27 5:52 pm and 7:46 pm can't be anyone other than TGFD/TOGFD.
TGFD/TOGFD claimed in the past that women of "all ages" came on to him.
I just don't buy that women in their 20s (without a strong financial interest) would come on to a guy in his late 50s. How lame is it to suggest that the disinterest of a woman in her 20s for a man in his late 50s is "age discrimination?"
Typical that TGFD/TOGFD would imagine "manhattan girl" to be in her 20s, and then rage about it.
Anal_yst, I wonder if you're right that TGFD/TOGFD is Mark Klein, M.D.? Do we know whether Dr. Klein is from Delaware?
Posted by guest , May 27, 2008 8:39PM
Gosh. This is quite the thread. I had no idea that I'd set off such a ruckus. Even after the fact, by several days. OK. Here we go: Manhattan girl - You are a dipshit. Is your name Donna? I'm trolling here some fun and you just took your sorry rear-end out of the running. And, I firmly agree with @5/27@ 7:46 - WTF were you doing here on this past glorious weekend? I was out having fun...your here on DB, ruminating. Small stuff. One more thing: I'm not too sure how old TGFD is, but I'm up there, rich, and looking for a younger go-getter. That obviously counts you out. You are a whiny 20-somthing bitch. Not my type.

You're too fixated on your dislike of me and the Other Guy. The 5:52pm poster was merely pointing out how scattered and dumb that chick is. The word "old" seemed repulsive to her, and he was just bringing attention to that.
Women in their twenties do come on to me. It is flattering and I often tell them so. Small flirtations are very enjoyable.
As for that dumb chick who calls herself Manhattan girl, I would say that her politics and her elitist snarl are each sufficient to cause me to pass her by.

I'm not a foot guy, or a guy's guy.
Though, I'd say 4 out of every 5 women in the OR - attendings, residents, nurses - are very good looking and probably have awesome feet.

Can't imagine Obama's feet are very nice...probably all ashy!

Not to be prejudiced but white guys feet are way hotter than the other races.

1. How did this blog turn into a weird foot fetish extravaganza and why isn't anyone else noticing/appalled by such.
2. Guy from Delaware, I puked a little bit in my mouth when you mentioned "younger model types" living in Newark, DE. Coming from a New Yorker that knows and lived there for years I can tell you that the only people coming out of that state (especially Newark) are idiot hicks with awful "not quite" southern accents, most of whom have never crossed the DE memorial bridge and are content with their sorry lives.
That is all.
