By Margot Carmichael Lester

There's nothing wrong with a fella who's in touch with his feminine side, but sometimes a man can cross the line. Is your man merely a metrosexual, consciously dedicated to his appearance, or has he gone way too far?

Take this quiz to gauge whether your guy's too girly:

• Long shower, close shave and maybe a pedicure (Score = 2)
• Clipping his toenails and trimming his nose hair (Score =
• A soft, new robe (Score = 4)
• An aromatherapy spa session with Jacques (Score = -1)

2. Which best describes your guy?
• Catty (Score = 1)
• Sensitive (Score = 2)
• Special (Score =
• Rugged (Score = 4)
• Bitchy (Score = -1)

3. When it comes to shopping:
• He likes it more than I do (Score = 1)

• Vitamins, aftershave and cologne (Score =
• Antifungal spray (Score = 4)
• Makeup (Score = -1)


How well did your fella fare?

Less than 0: Maybe he just likes to play dress-up sometimes. Or maybe there's something he's not telling you. You might want to have a candid conversation with him.

0-5: This guy seems to be in possession of a lot of stereotypical "womanly" traits. How do you feel about dating "one of the girls"?

6-10: He could go either way. Gauge your comfort level with his effeminate traits before you go any further. If they bug you, consider catching a manlier man.

11-15: This guy's in touch with his feminine side but hasn't taken it to the extreme. And maybe you can trade some grooming or decorating secrets.

16-20: He's a manly man without being a Neanderthal.
