Gay or Straight? Hard to Tell: "The new convergence of gay-vague style is not to be confused with metrosexuality, which steered straight men to a handful of feminine perks like pedicures, scented candles and prettily striped dress shirts. Gay vagueness affects both straight and gay men. It involves more than grooming and clothes. It notably includes an attitude of indifference to having one's sexual orientation misread; hence the breakdown of many people's formerly reliable gaydar."
Actually, it seems to be exactly the same thing as "metrosexuality" but the Styles section can certainly pretend otherwise (half of the section's articles are devoted to the topic). According to the handy chart, I am somewhere between "gay" and "gay vague". The crucial factor is that just the other day I was telling Brian that I would like both a French bulldog and an Italian greyhound because their opposite body types lend themselves better to different tasks around the house. For example, the greyhound can reach behind the fridge while the bulldog can be a footstool. A Jack Russel terrier's shape, however, is no good around the house.
