Gays today can be split up into 5 different groups, which would
be
Homosexuals
Metrosexuals
Sissys
Girlish looking (mainly only in teenage contexts, as some have this
problem due to hormonal problems)
Acts/wants to be a girl (very likely to turn transsexual in the
future)
The first group would be the homosexuals, and the very meaning of
gay. However, your sexual orientation has absolutely NOTHING to do
with your appearance or your actions. Most of the real homosexual
males arn't really outted as 'gays', as they're 'normal' in almost
every other aspect, thus people don't tend to realize.
Metrosexuals are guys who are more in-touch with their feminine
side. I think anonymous coward gave a good discription of them -
Metrosexual are those who men who go for facial treatments, spa
(the clean type) etc. They wear fancy clothes, are particular about
how they carry themselves and is sensitive to a woman's need. - .
These people also tend to be more feminine in their overall
appearance, and tend to shy away from becoming like those masculine
men.
Sissys are basically, sissys. Alot of them are weak, cowardly, and
many of them are spineless too. An example would be a kid who gets
bullied by the other kids, and all he does is cry.
The 4th group would be those who have hormonal problems. Alot of
them are usually much shorter, haven't broke their voice, and look
either 'cute' or 'girly', and often look much younger than they
really are as they haven't hit puberty yet. These people however
arn't really labelled as 'gays' by the mainstream, as although they
look like it, they don't act like it.
The last group are basically transsexuals in their early stages,
where they still had to live as the opposite sex. It's hard to
identify them honestly. They can have anything from 1 trait to all
4 traits of the above 4 groups. However this group of people will
find it extremly offensive to be called 'gay (we're talking about
male to female transsexuals here), as basically they don't identify
themselves as men.
Anyway these days, society tends to label those feminine guys as
gays. They don't care whether they're homosexual or not, most of
them just lump anyone who is less than that of a male, as a gay.
Majority of the people labelled are likely to come from group 2
& 3.
