Oh my god, there's a lot of half truths on here being stated as full truths.
Ok first of all, lets get one thing straight. None of you know crap well enough to tell someone else how to live life the correct way. I can't tell you how to live the godly, "natural" correct way. I think we can though point out what's unnatural, because of the problems it creates, because if it was natural it would be what we've evolved to handle best.
As far as colors. Real men wore loin clothes. Real men wore armor. Real men wore Musketeer outfits (can anyone say doublets?). Before we had all these fancy colors there were still real men. Colors don't make the man, it is something else that makes the man. That said there could be some truth that women will perceive you as more masculine by wearing colors that have either social or pychological influences. Doesn't it make sense that if women are trained to think that men who wear pink are more masculine then men who wear pink will have better success then men who don't, all other things equal. Also if pink is a color that is associated with passiveness doesn't it make sense that men who would it would also be perceived as more passive and less aggressive (masculine as many here define it). Those are two different ways people are influenced in how they perceive you, so which one is right? The obvious answer is that they're are both right in that they both are influencing people, but which way is right? It depends on what influences the women you want to attract more. If you like the women that like men in pink, wear pink. If you like women who like men in cowboy boots and tight blue jeans, then wear that if it makes you happy.

There are good and bad attributes to everything. Nothing is black and white, if it is then you are just too ignorant to see the other possibilities. As far as metrosexuality: I think the obvious bad point is that if you are letting society tell you what to do, then that would make you less like yourself and would thus be worse then if you made the conscious choice to wear what makes you happy. A good point of metrosexuality is that it brings awareness to how society told men to be before. You know, the dumb retarded man composed entirely of masuclinity but who still couldn't fix his car after they switched from carburators to fuel injection. The Bounty man. The lumber jack. The soldier. Like it or not that ideal is still just an imaginary construct created by society. It has nothing to do with whats natural, or maybe I should say it isn't completely natural. A good thing about metrosexuality is that it allows men to be pampered more so. There's nothing wrong with with men who like pedicures just like there's nothing wrong with men who like grease under the fingernails. What is wrong is when you are a man who likes pedicures and you are too afraid to get them because of what everyone else thinks. What's also wrong is for men to constantly buy frilly crap because they think that people will like them more because of what they're wearing.
Bottom line be yourself. Don't let society tell you to be anything else. Also be aware that societies ideal has been ingrained in you since you were born, so its hard to tell what is "natural" and what society promotes as "natural." Do what makes you happy and at least if all the cretins that do what society tells them to hate you then at least you won't have to deal with them.
All you homophobes. If your entire reasoning is based on a manmade religion, then stop trying to tell people that your way is godly because chances are God hasn't talked to you and you aren't able to discern what some other cretin said God said and what was added or modified or misintrepretted. So get off your high pedestal because you aren't any better then a HB10 who's sitting on a pedestal.

Being masculine doesn't mean you are in charge of your society. Read up on bonobo's or any one of the several other close relatives to humans with females as the dominant gender. Also both genders want the same thing. They want their needs fulfilled. They want to live happy lives. This isn't a pissing contest. Bring people up. Show them the truth and why its true and realize chances are you probably are just as wrong as they are, so you should be listening to them too.
