The 80s also had man-mountains, after all.<br /><br />The 90s called him the Sensitive New Age Guy or the metrosexual, the matter continuing into the aughts.<br /><br />My look, at least casually, is spornosexual, but my doing it it antedates the term.

I never counted Hungry Man because I saw "man" as any human there, thank you Bobby Hill.<br /><br />2) I also saw the New Sensitive Man as an 80s artifact. Pretend to care, consume in an "I care but not really" way. (e.g., eat products made with palm oil but avoid meat) Know how to be racist in a way white people won't catch.
