(2015) Metrosexual masculinities, Dordrecht, Springer.
Whilst Chapter 4 provided an overview of theories on masculinities it also presented at the outset a selection of definitions for the metrosexual. Definitions included the number one online men's style magazine – AskMen.com, a well-known online market analysis organisation – Euromonitor International, and the Oxford English Dictionary Online. Whilst definitions diverged somewhat around the specific characteristics and membership attributes of this identity they all seemed to agree the metrosexual is a heterosexual man. Since Simpson (1994a) initially coined the metrosexual as "officially gay, straight or bisexual" it seems pertinent to begin to examine the metrosexual's identity from the position anything might go.
