UBERMEN

Example Citations:
The
phenomenon of the ultra-groomed metrosexual man, such as David Beckham,
30, is over.
Now men have to
be ubersexual — more macho but still in touch with their feminine
side, like Jamie Oliver, 30.
Ubersexual
comes from the German word for "above" — meaning such fellas are
expected to be above just being merely sexy and need to be a complete
gentleman to boot!
—Jon Lipsey, "Are you man enough?," Daily Star, September 15,
2005
Men
are trying to be metrosexual, ubersexual, gay vague — where the
lines are blurred and they are trying to adapt. At the office, men are
adopting a lot of feminine traits. When I started working in the '70s,
women couldn't talk about babies, shopping, and now men talk about
babies and shopping at the office all the time.

Lake Tribune, December 3, 2005
Earliest Citation:
The
whole concept of maleness — including dressing, grooming and
communication skills — needs a makeover.
Enter the
latest buzzword: the Ubersexual and the Age of M-ness.
The new male is
unafraid of romance and sensuality, and can talk fine wine or pima
cotton shirts and sheets.

First Use:
The
descriptor 'uber' was chosen because it means the best, the greatest.
Ubersexuals are the most attractive (not just physically), most
dynamic, and most compelling men of their generations. They are
confident, masculine, stylish, and committed to uncompromising quality
in all areas of life.
