Peter Hyman wants the model/Fulbright
Scholar girlfriend, the job with generous stock options and
the well-appointed 2BR w/vu. Instead he routinely finds himself
single and underemployed in his closet-free walk-up. The
last woman he liked got back together with her lesbian lover;
the one before that threw up on the first date.
Welcome to the almost hip life of
a reluctant metrosexual–a
straight man whose tastes are just gay enough. Equal parts
cultural anthropologist, amateur sexologist and witty skeptic,
Hyman wryly chronicles the promiscuity and perils of modern
manhood, whether he’s undergoing a painful Brazilian
bikini wax, lurching through a disastrous threesome, or poignantly
reflecting on the Scotch-soaked grief of a difficult breakup.
So sit back in your Eames lounger
and revel in the good fortune that The Reluctant Metrosexual is not you, it’s
him.
