It’s hard to explain to zoomers just how insanely homophobic the early 2000s were. If you were male, and like, washed your hair regularly, people would call you a faggot.

So, dudes who washed their hair and wore button ups developed the term “metrosexual” which meant “I care about my appearance but I am attracted to women and don’t have sex with men.”

And not just “oh people called you gay to be mean” like they literally thought you were homosexual and hiding it. Women would literally be like “damn, I was super attracted to him, but I heard he wore shorts more than twice in a week, so I guess he must like men.”

you couldn’t even wear a scarf. the scarf made you gay.
