Why not put on a pink-flowered shirt and try out a partner-swapping club?" asked [French marketing and style consultants Nelly Rodi's managing director Pierre Francois] Le Louet, stressing that the study had focused on men aged between 20 and 35.Sociologists and other experts spent three months analyzing some 150 magazines and books and 146 Internet sites, as well as interviewing a dozen experts from Europe, the United States and China.
The traditional man still exists in China, Le Louet said, and "is not ready to go". But in Europe and the United States, a new species is emerging, apparently unafraid of anything.

Methinks about the only "barbarity of modern life" he's going to be testing out in that getup is the business end of a glory hole.
