Metrosexual or Ubersexual? How to Spot the Difference
* Both are passionate, but the uber is passionate about causes and
principles, while the metro is mostly passionate about himself
* The uber spends more time grooming his mind than his hair
* Both treat and respect women as equals, but the uber considers other
men, not women, his best friends
* The uber is more sensual and not at all self-conscious; he doesn't need
other people to tell him he's sexy -- nor does he plan his errands
around which shop windows offer the best reflection
* The metro gets design tips from the Fab Five; the uber gets them from
his travels and interest in art and culture
* The uber knows the difference between right and wrong and will make the
right decision regardless of what others around him may think; the metro
knows the difference between toner and exfoliant -- and worries that
he's using yesterday's brand
"The descriptor 'uber' was chosen because it means the best, the
greatest," says Salzman. "Ubersexuals are the most attractive (not just
physically), most dynamic, and most compelling men of their generations. They
are confident, masculine, stylish, and committed to uncompromising quality in
all areas of life."
