Abstract
There have been many adjustments in men' s lifestyles and attitudes over the past few decades, and many attempts to encapsulate these changes by finding labels to describe them - for example New Men; New Lads; Metrosexuals. However, the reality is inevitably more complex than the labels would suggest, and men' s lives are affected by a variety of factors, including: family and relationship status, employment situation; financial position and outlook, age and lifestage - as well as by their own attitudes and preferences.
This report examines who men' s lives alter as they get older and enter different situations and lifestages, looking at the differences and similarities between them.
