The latest trend: metrosexual

What it is? Let's hear it from Daniel Worthington in "The Shorthorn":
Being fashionable isn’t just about your clothes and hairstyle. It’s also about dating the right people. In 2004, every girl needed her very own metrosexual, but in time, we discovered some flaws with the trend. For starters, metrosexuals spend more time on their hair than Dolly Parton, and they’re so absorbed in clipping and shaping their nails that they forget to gaze lovingly at the girl of their dreams.
Ladies, starve for attention no more. This year, a whole new kind of man is in. He’s smart. He’s savvy. He’s independent and inventive. He’s a technosexual. That’s right. This modern ladies’ man isn’t afraid to strut his smarts, and he won’t stomp and cry if his date beats him at Halo 2. Yes, he may talk tech day and night, but it’s better than hearing about football. And really, girls, at least he’s useful.
The technosexual is available in a variety of styles, too. The Computer Geek is the most popular, but the Library Buddy and the Gadget Guy are equally intelligent and can perform tasks like helping with homework or providing dozens of time- and effort-saving devices. Though technosexuals are passionate about geekery of all kinds, the prospect of a date with you will always win his attention. Your girlish charms will never fail to bring him out of the office long enough for dinner and a chick flick, or at least a couple hours of “The Simpsons” on DVD. (...) So forget about guys whose wardrobes cost more than your rent. Call these guys nerds if you like, but I say there’s nothing cuter than a boy with a computer.
