People crack me up so much. When people first see me there are three things that come to their mind: first, Malakhi is tall and so sexy; second, he can dress (a little too well); third, he must be Bi or Gay. NO. Wrong, wrong, wrong and not GAY! Ha-ha, I’m just a real big METROSEXUAL.
What is a metrosexual you may ask? The politically correct answer is a young, urban, heterosexual male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste. Even though the word became popular within the last few years, it has been my saving grace when it comes to being able to identify with a lifestyle.
It’s very hard being a metrosexual male because women are afraid of opening up to a metro because either the metro becomes the brother figure, best friend, or (in their mind) homosexual friend. Another thing that holds people back from us is that females feel like they have to look better than us or on our level at all times. Today’s generation of ladies don’t care about how they look. They walk around campus with a scarf on their head, leggings every darn day with DRY weaves. Ugh! IT’S NOT CUTE, but I know it’s not easy being with a person who cares about how they look from top to bottom.
I was raised by my grandmother and mother without a father or any male influences, so of course I was around when my mom would get her hair done (hint: I do hair). I always do my hair, clean myself, shave, do my nails, eyebrows, make sure my clothes match and I don’t ever let my pants sag to the floor. I don’t know what it is about females and giving dudes who sag their pants to the ground the time of day. Can you actually bring that man home to your mama (but that’s another topic)?. I believe my mother did a great job raising me to be a respectful man to all women, from opening doors to paying the bill on a date.
I love being metro because it sets me aside from the normal man in all areas. I plan on being in the entertainment business and running it, so I have to make sure I stay original and camera ready. Ladies, here is a real question that I hope you answer by emailing the Scribe [thescribeUB@gmail.com]. Do you rather a man who is firm-fitted and wears professional clothes or a hood looking man, and why?
Scripture of the week:
1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
