The different informative bodies such as- The New York Times, The London Times and several other sources claim that the term metrosexual was first introduced in November 1994 by author Mark Simpson. He published an article in a British paper titled "Here Come The Mirror Men". The article referred to the metrosexual as "a single young man with a high disposable income, living or working in the city (because that's where all the best shops are)."
The word metrosexual is made after joining the two words namely- metro and sexual. The metro prefix point outs city, which means that this man has urban lifestyle, while the sexual suffix comes from the word "homosexual," which means that although he is straight, symbolizes the aesthetic sense of dressing up with an open desire to be associated with certain types of gay men.
It is most often seen that the heterosexual men have a strong apprehension for their outward appearance and they really don't care how their look might be perceived by the others. Their lifestyle shows the common traits that are typically seen amongst the gay men. They have an earnest desire for fashion and their main interest lies in to making up them to look the most presentable wherever they go.
A heterosexual metrosexual man takes benefit of residing in or near a major city which help them to access the great stores, salons, spa at ease. This type of man is basically concerned with his self-image enhancing that by personal grooming, adopting new fashion trends and aesthetics in general without botheration of money.
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. The on going professions which cover modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sports are welcoming these men with the open arms.
