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. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.

Summary

This quote describes the concept of a "metrosexual," referring to a young urban man who is affluent and has easy access to luxury stores, entertainment venues, fitness centers, and salons that cater to his needs. While the metrosexual may identify as gay, straight, or bisexual, this distinction is irrelevant as he primarily focuses on self-love and pleasure rather than specific sexual orientations. The quote mentions certain professions that tend to attract metrosexual individuals, such as modeling, hospitality, media, music, and sports. However, the implication suggests that metrosexuals can be found across various demographics due to their interest in male beauty products and widespread presence.
