Exit Metrosexual, Enter Ubersexual
June 17, 2008
Metrosexuals, retrosexuals, homosexual, ubersexuals, these are the many varieties that men come in today. So what do these various title tags tell us about the men who flaunt them? Right here, right now we are only concerned with two that is the exit of metrosexuals and enter the ubersexuals. Well, Metrosexuals = mirror obsessed, while ubersexual = sexy but stylish. In fact, ubersexual a new term means a more evolved and involved male, a man who is confident, rugged and influential. Top ten ubersexuals include George Clooney, Bill Clinton, Bono, Barack Obama, Guy Ritchie, Jon Stewart and others whose growing sex appeal reflects a drop-off in high maintenance, self-absorbed and overly dependent on women’s fashion tips metrosexual popularity.
With a broad masculine appeal, ubersexuals are quickly replacing metrosexuals as the emerging male prototype. A prototype that is more Hemingway than fey, yet having the sensitivity to put the toilet seat back down. Ubersexuals is a tag for those men who embrace the positive aspects of their masculinity, such as, confidence, leadership, passion and compassion, but without giving in to negative Neanderthal stereotypes: The ubersexual is not disrespectful to women or emotionally empty, nor does he turn his nose up at any cultural pursuit that doesn’t involve sports, beer or burgers.
On the other hand, the Ubersexual doesn’t share the Metrosexual’s obsession with outside appearances, including beauty in a branded bottle. He is more preoccupied with the content than the cosmetic. This hunter who isn’t opposed to a little gathering arrives at his sexiness from inner beauty and effortless cool rather than primping and preening salon visits, lotions and potions. He doesn’t scour the GQ for fashion advice, nor swear by Maxim’s maxims, either. He’s the typical Marlboro Man but without a cigarette in hand, as he doesn’t smoke.
To compare the two, the ubersexual has a passion for principles, while the metrosexual has a passion for fashion.
Whilst, the ubersexual devotes time to grooming his mind, the metrosexual spends time on minding his grooming.
The ubersexual is not self-conscious or vain, while the metrosexual plans his errands around which shop windows offer the best reflection.
The ubersexual gets design inspiration from his interest in art, culture and travel. The metrosexual gets design inspiration from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Fab Five.
The ubersexual knows the difference between right and wrong. The metrosexual also knows the difference between right and wrong, but only when it comes to choosing an exfoliant.
Ruling the day, Exit Metrosexuals Enter Ubersexuals, our ubersexuals are the most attractive (not just physically), most dynamic, and most compelling men of their generations. Confident, masculine, stylish, they are committed to uncompromising quality in all areas of life. Concerned with quality. Ubersexuals strive for excellence in everything. They enjoy the finest of wines, the best of Cuban cigars, understand the finer things in life, and that is quintessentially what an ubersexual male is all about.
Exit the pretentious, surface skimming, birdbrain Metrosexual, enter the intelligent, deep probing, suave yet secure in his masculinity Ubersexual!
