Word: übersexual Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative spelling of ubersexual. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: 2005 October 10, Andrew Adam Newman, “In Time of Studied Ambiguity, a Label for the Manly Man” in The New York Times The new ideal, according to Marian Salzman, Ira Matathia and Ann O’Reilly in their new book, “The Future of Men”, is the “übersexual”. In contrast to metrosexuals, who, they write, risk being “sad sacks who seem incapable of retaining their sense of manhood in postfeminist times”, übersexuals “mark a return to the positive characteristics of the Real Man of yesteryear (strong, resolute, fair)”. Yet they are poised to not only change a diaper but to discuss how they feel about it. Example: 2005 October 23, Paul Harris, “Metrosexual man bows to red-blooded übersexuals” in The Observer Now, however, maleness has hit back, she says. While metrosexuals were obsessed with self-image and lifestyle, the übersexual is politically aware and passionate about real world causes. The metrosexual has women who are his best friends, while the übersexual respects women but retains men as his closest confidants. The metrosexual grooms his hair: the übersexual grooms his mind. The metrosexual reads Vogue and Cosmo, the übersexual the Economist and the New Yorker.

Example: In the midst of “the crisis”, men tend not to acknowledge or embrace new masculinities — despite discourses regarding metrosexual or übersexual masculinities — but rather retrench themselves into traditional, essentialized and hegemonic masculine images and embodied performances.
