Mark Simpson's definition: "The typical metrosexual is a young man with
money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis --
because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers
are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is
utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love
object and pleasure as his sexual preference."
