What's wrong with a guy doing it? Women do it all the time. If a guy wants to take care of his skin so he doesn't look like a beat up shoe by the time he's 40, good for him. I'm proud of the fact that I don't have a wrinkle and that I've got good skin. I just like to take care of what I've got so I can enjoy it for a long time--call me vain, but I don't want to be all beat up and haggard and still be fairly young.
I've seen too many people who looked far older than their actual years. I'd rather be older than I look. I trim my chest because I find body hair to be a nuissance and being hairy, it requires maintenance. I like to dress well because I can.
If that make makes me metrosexual, so be it. I've always just considered it being well bred. I never knew any different because as a pre-teen and teenager I started going to fancy hair salons, using facial products, and wearing designer clothes.

Sure, there might be some aging - but remember, that beat up shoe can still look good. Weathery, rugged... pick your choice.
Maybe this is an education thing, in things about what makes a man a man I've been raised pretty conservatively.
