(comment)	From what I gather, "saiyuuki" is a far more common reading for this word, although for example this source: http://www.alphapolis.co.jp/dreambookclub/file/nagurigaki.html mentions both and the writer says that he became unable to quickly answer which one is correct. Anyhow, the "saiyuuki" reading should be added to the entry.

(pos)	noun, adjective, complement
(english1)	metrosexual, fop, esthete 
(english2)	effeminate, foppish, a man who is overly concerned with stylish dress, skin care, gourmet dining, etc.
(reference)	multiple TV references, use in names of "esthete" (エステ) shops (men's hair, manicure, make-up or skin care salons) e.g. "DandyHouse."
(comment)	Like "metrosexual" the word does not necessarily imply the person is gay.  The word also seems to be comfortably used by such men to describe themselves. "僕はダンディ。"
