New Age Men

Read this article on new age male category in The Star newspaper and thought of sharing to all....

Metrosexual...the men style category we all know, defined by the fact that he is single and in touch with his feminine side. Is buffed from head to toe and always draped in fashionable clothes. Makes enough money to stay up to date with latest hairstyles, clothes and shoes. Confuses guys with his sexuality (Eerrr...i think this is incorrect, you wouldnt want to do that). Is able to impress women with his appreciation for literature, cinema or other arts, his flair for cooking, his ability to pick the perfect wine and music and his eye for interior design. In short, an urban male who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. Example given Brad Pitt.

Mirl...new breed of man that makes metrosexual yesterday's news. Male-girl or Mirls are not afraid to go shopping, have their faces and nails done, and what else, discuss them with each other. The colour pink is a prominent feature of their wardrobe, have an array of wrist straps, beads, chokers, scarves and can’t bear to leave your home carrying just your wallet and phone. Sounds like some urban definition of 'Sissy' to me but surprisingly example given was Rob Thomas (how could this be???).

Ubersexual...the latest generation of men style and the talk of town. The term coined by advertising agency JWT described men who display all the positives of male-ness – confidence, leadership, passion, compassion (without giving in to the negatives), emotional emptiness, ignorance of anything cultural. Ubersexuals and metrosexuals differ on several levels. Ubers are emotionally available while metros are emotionally vacant. Ubers are concerned with the world around them while metros are concerned with their diet. Ubers are obsessed with quality and integrity and metros are obsessed with their figure. Examples given George Clooney, Bill Clinton, Ewan McGregor, Diddy, Jay-Z and Bono.

Interesting isnt it....so where might you fit in??? Or the old style of beer, couch, a big fat stomach and sports still the favourite description???....Hahaha.....
