''Man date'' is a neologism of the 2000s that is used to describe a social situation where two men spend time together one-on-one. The men may be any mix or heterosexual or homosexual. However, "man date" refers to a platonic social encounter, not sexual implied or actual. The term was first spread by a ''New York Times'' article by Jennifer 8. Lee published in 2005, and was the basis for the 2009 film ''I Love You, Man''. As ''The New York Times'' article defined: Along with ''metrosexual'' and ''bromance'', the term is part of a growing set of neologisms that address modern-day masculinity. ==Appearances of the term== The term was first brought to popular attention by an April 10, 2005 article in ''The New York Times'' Sunday Style section. Aside from the 2009 film ''I Love You, Man'', man dates have appeared in popular culture, including in a season 3 episode of ''Scrubs'' in 2003 called "My Journey", in a Season 7 episode of ''The Gilmore Girls'' called "Knit, People, Knit!" and a Season 4 episode of ''Rescue Me''.〔"('Rescue Me': Hail to the chief )", ''Los Angeles Times'' (June 29, 2007).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Man date」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
