In the infinite expansion of our language, there arises a term for a male person who is not attracted to members of his own gender but who adopts certain homosexual behaviours in an effort to attract female persons, believed to find such behaviours attractive and perhaps even challenging, in order to allow such females to "convert" him by means of having straight sex with him. Clever devil! Such male persons are referred to (in some quarters) as fauxmosexuals.

Me, too, but I am not as hip to changes in pop language as I was when I had my two children living with me. Whatever will I do now to understand the patois of the young?

Isn't this just a restatement of the definition of metrosexual?

That would be a person who has sex with a city?

I still think fauxmosexual is slightly different from metrosexual. I don't think the metrosexual uses deceit to trap unwary females does he?

I hadn't gotten that connotation of metrosexual. fauxmo seems more of a fake. metros are just into looks.

...and here I thought that most promosexuals would use deceit to trap unwary females--all's fair in lust and unwary females...
