In our lives all the more insistently it breaks a new and completely incomprehensible, the term "metrosexual." The recently published report of European sociologists, indicated that people who call themselves metrosexual is growing, which means it's time to figure out what we face a clash with an unidentified object.

As it turned out, the popular image of the last male macho Macho: errors and problems in behavior   hopelessly outdated. It was replaced by a very different character: elegant man, who prefers to communicate with the opposite sex, but to indulge in small pleasures like good food, beautiful clothes, massages, and who do not care that others may find his behavior unworthy of a real man.

Perhaps metrosexual - a new "Renaissance man"? The new image of the man who captures our imagination in the 21st century? New "London dandy?" According to studies, the new men's attitude towards himself and his entourage emerged largely due to the feminist movement. Throughout the twentieth century, women are zealously trying to become men, that men also wanted to explore the woman's space, as in the end they began to feel that is no different from sitting beside being in the pants with pleasure smoking a cigarette. So, if women have little men, but now it was the men's turn to become a little women.

But what is really going on? Which adopt feminine traits representatives of the strong half of humanity? The process began in the 70-80s of last century, when the observers began to notice that men become more sensitive and are not afraid to show their emotions. Perhaps the process was very slow, so that it can be seen, but believe me, your great-grandfather would have been appalled to discover how delicate and vulnerable was his distant descendant.

However, nothing to do with homosexuality is a change in men's behavior has not. Metrosexuals are quite happy with their traditional sexual orientation and prefer to deal with it is with women. Basically they skontsetrirovany in large cities, but in rural areas the process is fairly clearly, albeit at a slower pace. They are well versed in fashion and love to shop. They like to look good and feel good. They do not hesitate when the company turns out to be gay with them: in the end who is sleeping with whom - a private affair of the individual.

Most probably, a vivid example of the metrosexual - elegant David Beckham, soccer star and a true fashion icon. However, across such instances and among the older generation. The best example of this - a great Sean Connery. Once the courageous James Bond now appearing at the award ceremony "Oscar" in a lace shirt-front, and the whole room just melts in delight. However, the modern James Bond played by Pierce Brosnan has also become more sensitive and vulnerable than his predecessors in the service of Her Majesty.

So, if you do and a symbol "real man" like James Bond changing their behavior, the ordinary people of any large metropolis there is nothing left to do but to follow in the wake of the general.

Studies show that changed not only the external manifestations of masculinity, but also the most secret desires of the strong half of humanity living in the major centers of Western culture. So, more than a third (35%) of respondents are dreaming "age next to a woman that you really love," 25% want "to live happily and to have healthy children", 10% would like to "have a good friends', and only 8% would prefer the glory and a wealth of simple human joys. Men with a large hunting describe themselves in emotional tones. Only 20% of them consider themselves to be "sexy" and 46% - "romantic." 74% believe that they are "very caring", while 89% believe that success is seeking someone who is well educated and good looking. Almost half of respondents (49%) do not have anything against facial massage Face massage   and manicure.

But what about the relationship to the opposite sex? Only 15% of men believe that the average woman does not hold up to the level of the average male worker. I do not agree with this statement 63%, and 35% of them strongly agree. When asked if they agreed to go back in time and stop all encroachments of women in political and economic independence of respondents agreed only 12%, while 76% do not have to be changed. Probably the last answer surprised the women, 29% of whom believe that a man would want to destroy the women's movement, if he had the chance.
