Say hello to the “spornosexual” man

Metrosexuals are, apparently, "so last century"

Newsroom June 12 06:39

A new kind of men makes its appearance. The “spornosexual” man. Yeap, you read that right! It will replace the “metrosexual”, i.e. the one that lives in urban, postindustrial and capitalist cultures and pays attention to grooming and appearance.

According to British newspaper “Telegraph”, the “spornosexual” term is defined as follows: the “addiction” of many men towards social media, where they show their beauty, their adoration for their body and sexy poses in selfies.

The metrosexual term appeared in society twenty y ears ago. This term generally refers to heterosexual men, who are very concerned about their appearance, while their lifestyle can be compared to that og hay men.

In contrast, the “spornosexual” man, according to the British newspaper, is about modern men that not only take care of their body, dedicating many hours on their appearance, but forward it, and show it, through social media.

Being in shape is the highest priority for them, which is why they advertise it by uploading it to social media. They also take selfies when they work out, or when they are in bed with their beloved, and every so often they check the amount of “likes” they have received on Facebook and Twitter. For males who are interested to learn whether they belong to this new species of men, the British newspaper has a quiz.

Men who:
-Check Facebook regularly to check out how many “likes” they have on their work-out photos
-Those who think the “Hulk” is the best superhero
-Those who, when faced with an important night, consume a double vodka with Red Bull.
-Those who, when they meet a guy at a party, will ask him if he even lifts.
-Those who, when they want to approach a woman, the first thing that comes out of their mouth is: “My girlfriend is open to a trio. Are you in?”.
-Especially those who wear a T-shirt with a deep V-neck, because the deeper, the better.
