Sadly I must state that I believe that if a retrosexual lives by the Retrosexual creed then the retrosexual will not be very sexual, that is unless he has a lot of money or hangs out with a lot of drunk people. |

| Master 2033 | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! LOL... I put this on here because its one of those its funny because its true.... However, I'll use my dad or more correctly my grandfather as a good example. No where in here does it say the retrosexual man is rude, uneducated, or act like a redneck... What it does say, is the retrosexual man deals with problems without whining no matter how big. He can fix things that break, change his own oil, treat a woman respectfully, and is his own man. He is a man of his word, someone that can be trusted. These are many of the qualities I think of when I think about my grandpa. The things that in my opinion make him a great man... When I go someplace in a car with my wife I open and close her car door for her, I open doors in public for her, and at a restaurant I will help her with her coat and get her chair. I carry the baby, tune her car and changer her oil. My wife always feels safe and secure with me no matter where we are and what is happening because she knows if there is a problem I will deal with it weather its a drunk, or a flat tire. I think men like this are becoming rarer and rarer. I don't do these things because my wife can not or because she is less than me. I do it because it makes her feel special. I do not think the qualities of the retrosexual exclude triathletes, I wear spandex and ride my bike to fast too (I think this falls under the section about hobbies your wife or mother-in-law will not understand). I hope is that my daughter sees how I treat my wife with respect and demands the same from her future spouse. She like every woman deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. From the posts by several BT ladies men with these qualities will never lack a future mate. Thanks ladies! Enough said! |

AMEN!!!! Enough with the poor me, it can't be my fault, because such and such happened to my when I was 2 years old. It's time for men to grow up and be responsible. I'm so tired of seeing men (and women) bail as soon as the going gets tough)
And yes, I am a retrosexual or whatever you want to call it so it sounds manly enough. I grew up under the old rules where men opened doors for ladies, stood when a woman entered the room, and men were charged with caring for, and protecting their family.
It's just a shame that we have to put a new "hip" word to something that should be natural Edited by Frank Amato 2006-02-02 11:47 PM |

| Expert 941 WA | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! i love retrosexual men, except for the guns part and killing things if necessary. the only thing i want my man killing is the bugs and the spiders in the house. but fo sheezy, i like knowing that my lovely fiance can handle his shiznit and i can relax. he always knows what to do, except maybe in the kitchen. not to hijack the thread or anything, but i'm going to go ahead and declare that i'm a smart woman who is also sick of watching bimbos on tv. there seems to be a lack of the glorification of smart women in modern culture too, just as there is a lack of manly man men. i read a study that said for every 16 point IQ increase in women, there is a 40% reduction in her chance of getting married. what in the heck is up with that????? but for men there was some significant (can't remember the exact number) percentage increase in marriage chances for every 16 point increase in IQ. i'm not sure how they came up with those numbers, but if they're remotely true, that's just messed up!! not that everyone's end-all goal should be to get married, but that just stinks! smart women of BT, raise your hands! retrosexual men of BT raise your hands! maybe we can have one big mixer! assuming the retro men like the smart women. |

You GO girls (now don't beat me up for calling you girls) In keeping with the retrosexual code, "smart women" would only include those smart enough to shut the hell up and iron my shirt. |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! gullahcracker - 2006-02-02 8:16 PM Man your idea is good but the title is still a little heavy on the estrogen. Retrosexual could be confused with a feminine Homocidalsexual is accurate but a little to closely related to an existing category. Anysexuals would define our mate culling criteria but still doesn't have the zing. The name must have the zing. Bone-a-sexual, cosmosexual, manulative, mascusexual, manuality, dog,etc Man I don't know but it's got to zing. I've got a term that encompasses all of the things you are looking for. Man. Deal with it. |

If aerobics, at the "Y", is part of your training does that make you a pseudoretrosexual........or just a pervert? Or both? Nope. Just smart. Have you SEEN some of the women in aerobics/yoga classes? Aerobics is to "dancy" for me (and I like to dance) but yoga's definitely my bag. My question is, if I like to dress well/be fashionable/cook, etc. but equally love dude stuff (shooting guns; going out into the wilderness with everything you need on your back; drinking beer, belching, farting and telling ridiculous stories around a campfire; having every gadget possible), then what does that make me? A MetroRetro? A RetroMetro? Help me pigpen! I'm so confused... |

| Pro 3906 Libertyville, IL | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! run4yrlif - 2006-02-02 8:00 PM It seems like this idea would be a tough sell to an audience of leg-shaving, spandex wearing men. But ya know, whatever. Perhaps someone could get a group buy on some burlap tri shorts for the Retros? |

| Got Wahoo? 5423 San Antonio | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! I think you should all get in touch with your feminine sides. You don't know what your missing: hair rubs, watching beaches with the girls and crying during TV commercials.... I mean, I was tweezing my eyebrows this morning and wondered what it would be like to have a pillow fight during a slumber party....
I think you are all fighting to deny a piece of yourselves and it is only to your determent. Relax and get that pedicure - they're marvelous!!! ...and the conversation around a beauty salon can be quite soothing!!!

| Master 2033 | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! I think the code of the retrosexual man can be summed up in 3 words "Deal With it" I don't think it is a static dot on a line or a binary address Yes or No. It is a point of origin. some will be extremely conservative some will be moderate others sliding closer to the metrosexual. I personally dress nice, my boss says I look like a Irish Mafioso at work in a suit (remember a retrosexual man can tie a windsor knot!). I only drink good whiskey and great beer. I enjoy many of the fine things in life. I wear spandex, do yoga, and am constantly seeking self improvement. I have a MBA, am married to a accountant, and love my daughter. I think the thing that separates men like me from the rest of the corporate yuppies or rednecks pretending to be a retrosexual is attitude. My family is always first even before myself. I can rebuild the engine in my truck, fix most anything that breaks around the house. When I have a problem no matter how big it is I deal with it right now. I do business on a handshake and my clients all trust me. when they have problems I am on top of the call list. This is not to say the retrosexual man is perfect. Far from it. I have had a few to many pints in the past, said something stupid or been the cause of a minor altercation. I have said something less than sensitive to someone, or made a bad decision . The true sign of a retro sexual is his ability to deal with it when these things happen instead of whining like a weenie and blaming others. |

| Expert 760 Mt. Morris, IL | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! Well I couldn't decide where to post this and I thought it would fit well here. These are the men's rules and yes they are all #1 on purpose. 1. Men ARE not mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done, not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine...Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping. |
