"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 their 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."--Page 4 of cover.
