To me metro means metropolitan. This implies you are living in a large city and have access to everything. Living in a city is an interesting psychological thing. If you live there you are trusting other people to provide for you since you can not grow or hunt your own food and you are trusting society or employers to take care of you by providing you with the means to care for yourself.
This situation leaves a lot of free time on peoples hands. A basic fact of life is that people try to show their status in life off. During the 1500s men and women applied large amounts of whiote powder to themselfes to make it obvious that they did not have to go outside to work and thus did not have a tan. More recently we have people bragging about their 'bling bling' and trying to show it off with huge gold chains, fancy cars etc.
For me, and the people I know, being metro-sexual has nothing to do with sexuality. It simply means that we care about our look and skin and will do a little further than most men, but not as far as women, to look good. I am proud to be secure enough in myself to buy a toner and moisturizer and feel sorry for you who do not. There is nothing wrong with trying to look your best.
Good looking people tend to get the best jobs, better pay and many girlfriends. I am happy to hedge my bets and try to look as good as I can.
