A man is not just a man.
That's what some media try to sell us these days, mostly lifestyle and
fashion media. A man is now defined by his habits, what he wears, and
how he wears it. If I don't care too much about what I wear and spends
as little time and money as possible on my appearance and lifestyle, I
would count as a Retro sexual.
If I do the opposite, which is having a strong aesthetic sense and
spends a great amount of time and money on my appearance and lifestyle,
that would make me a Metro sexual.
But if I am "refined", but contains more of an implication of
confidence and traditional notions of manhood than the former term,
that makes me an Ubersexual.
