Women's taste in men reflects economy "The recession will see the demise of the metrosexual," Mr Salt said.
"In a boom, women are not worried about their financial security and are attracted to attractive, slim, weedy, geeky, metrosexual hairless males," he said.
"Whereas in a downturn, evolutionary theory kicks in for survival, and women are concerned about their food supply and look for someone a little more muscular, more primal, a little more hairy.
"They want someone who can fight off a mammoth - and a metrosexual ain't gonna do it."
Don't worry darling, you don't have to stop being a metrosexual, I'm here to fight the mammoths for you.
