Read American Psycho...it's not an entirely new phenomenon. Read it several years ago when it first came out. Man, that was one twisted read. Didn't realize at the time that it was satire.
But you are right. This phenomenon has been around. I had a friend who was just like these dudes when I was in highschool during the mid 1980s. He read "GQ" religiously and spent an hour primping himself every morning before school.
Come to think of it, maybe he *was* gay!
Anyhow, the NYT just discovered this cool new word, "metrosexual" and decided to write about it.

I guess the difference in the guy from this article and Patrick Bateman would be the fact that Bateman seemed to hold women in disdain, and viewed them as objects that were there only for his amusement. The guy in this article apparently likes to shop and pal around with the girls.

Read American Psycho...it's not an entirely new phenomenon. Dittos...American Psycho is a wonderful read (do NOT bother with the laughably stupid and dumbed-down movie 'adaptation'...). Huge Bret Easton bump.
