Metrosexuals: gays in the closet, or just men who love themselves?

I have noticed that there is an emergence of men who invest a lot into their grooming routines. Some metrosexual men adopt lifestyles that may be associated with homosexuals or transsexuals.

As Africans, we are used to men being slightly scruffy, tardy or unkempt. Every time I walk around the Main mall at lunchtime, I see “real” ordinary Batswana men. The type we have grown accustomed to seeing. Some of them sport mismatched socks, unpolished shoes or un-tucked shirts, if not boasting unruly beards, skin in desperate need of a thorough scrub, or a fashion malfunction.
