Because I was tagged 
I:
don’t wear denim, like This American Life, think I look better with nappy hair, never make the bed, love the fact that I’m married to a guy with a beard, have three dogs (all mutts), and love video games more than I should.

How come you don’t wear denim?

I think it looks weird.

Don’t wear denim?
Why…why, that’s unAmerican.
Hee hee!
But seriously, do cowboys look weird? ‘Cause cowboys wear denim. And look pretty good, IMHO.
This American Life…I have mixed feelings. I’ve sat in the car with the engine running to finish a TAL story before. OTOH, I wonder if they could ever make a living without taxpayer subsidy; and I could do without the lisping. It sounds so, metrosexual. (Public radio seems to have a soft spot for speech impediments.) Some of the folks “reporting” seem a bit, well, narcissistic (if not cruel) to me. But the stories do suck me in! Like most public radio, not child friendly, regrettably. Have to listen alone.
But I do like nappy hair. Much better than blah hair (cf, mine).

Oooh, look at the pretty quilt blocks by the comments!

It’s fine on other people, I don’t like it on me. And I’ve never been concerned with being “un American”.
You are correct; they would NOT make a living without taxpayer subsidy; they’re partially government funded, and mostly listener, supported.
I think Ira Glass is adorable, and his speech is just fine. “Metrosexual” is a term to describe a man who takes meticulous care of himself; works out, dresses in nice clothes, uses hair products, etc. It has nothing to do with a manner of speaking.
I’ve never heard anyone be cruel.

Hmmm. I was thinking more along the lines of “fashion-conscious metropolis-dweller who can order glibly at the specialty gourmet coffee house.” Maybe I was off on my definition a bit.
Anyhow, I freely admit to stereotyping the voices I hear on the radio. For instance…her voice:

invariably calls up images of this character:

And the religious element ties it all together psychologically. Weird, huh?

Ah, if that’s your definition, then I LOVE metrosexuals! You’ve just described all my male friends, who live in New York City.
