Welshy, we ALL wonder that! I'll probably get kicked out of the girl club for telling, but... It quickly turns into a lesbian orgy. Every time. |

Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! Matchman - 2006-02-03 9:49 AM 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... The retrosexual doesn't have to be a caveman. Let me take a stab at this and see if Pigpen backs me up. Here's an example of how to explain the difference. A retrosexual can use nail clippers to cut his toe nails, but he could also use a pair of tin snips, wire cutters, regular scissors, his own fingernails or a pair of pliers and really couldn't care which it is. If nail clippers are the closest because the wife keeps them in the bathroom, so be it. Practicality is a big part of the retrosexual's world. Side note, we usually only know we need to cut the nails if we have actually ripped clothing or cut someone with them. |

Champion 6931 Bellingham, Washington | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! gullahcracker - 2006-02-02 5:54 PM 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. Unless you are married to the perfect wife. |

Extreme Veteran 441 windsor, ontario | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! hangloose - 2006-02-03 6:52 AM 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.
I was thinking the same thing as I was reading this thread...No labels, labels, by their nature, would defy the code.
And right on!! Power to the people...if I have to endure one more stupid Julia Zellweger Roberts JLO movie where they hire an androgynous UHS 'perfect man' to go to a wedding and all of the women fawn over him...Well let's just say I might hire Capt Willard and the crew from the PBR 'Streetgang' to travel back up the Mekong river to 'terminate, with extreme prejudice' the pathetic Rupert Dylan Everett McDermott clown they hired to sell out our whole gender and play said angrogyne.

COURT JESTER 12230 ROCKFORD, IL | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! Matchman - 2006-02-03 8:49 AM gullahcracker - 2006-02-03 6:20 AM And now I'm faced with another question. 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... That just means you SWING BOTH WAYS in a Retro/Metro Sexual kind of way. |

You can dress nice, look nice, and actually be nice... I just don't think I should have to apologize for the differences that make me a man! If you want someone to empathize with your problem talk to my wife (or Dr. Phil!)... If you want a solution to your problem talk to me. If you get kicked out of your house My wife will ask you how you feel about that... What do you think you will do... Why do you think it happened. What you will get from me will more likely be Wow... That really sucks! Do ya need a place to stay or do you have that covered? I'm going to try to help you deal with it... If you need to share your feelings I'll let you, but only over a pint, and I most likely wont ask if you are not volunteering the information. I wouldn't want to pry. |

Unless you are married to the perfect wife. Spence... you are right on the money! I would not trade my wife for anything! She is AWESOME!!! We provide a good balance for each other and make a great team... She is a bit softer... I am not... I am very logical she is emotional... but together we are a unbeatable team. I am reading Chi Running right now and he talks about this same issue of balance in life. It is everyplace you look. Crazy! who would have thunk things will tend to swing towards equilibrium! like a atom having a equal number of protons and electrons or osmosis... |

Master 2278 State of Confusion | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! piggpen35 - 2006-02-02 10:01 PM 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. |

Runner | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! I think "retro-" is the perfect term, because it's showing a throwback to when men were....well, men. And not just men, but gentlemen. I think of people like my grandfather or my father. Guys who didn't sit around and whine about their problems, but guys who went out and took care of them. If something broke, they fixed it. If there was a problem with someone, they talked to that person and worked it out. The stories I hear about my grandfather are just incredible to me. He was never a loud man, I never heard him yell, ever. Heck, when we were around he never said a whole lot at all. He was big, like 6'3". Shortly after he died, my father got a phone call. It was from a man he had never met in his life, but had apparently known my grandfather through work (Grandpa did sales for Luden's, so always had candy at the house). When this man spoke to my father, he said that he had heard about my grandfather's death, and that the world was going to miss him because he was one of the best guys he had ever known. Kind, always willing to help someone in need, yet tough as nails, but never complained. Not once, not ever. He always took care of his family. That is retrosexual. |

Champion 6962 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: I'm a retrosexual! PigPen is my hero! I agree with him completely. It amazes me that when I open a door for my wife that I get a look from other women like, "I wish my husband/SO did that". The shocked look of a woman (young or old, hot or not) when I offer them my seat, or the look of amazment when I'm over a friends house and offer to help them with one of their projects (painting, changing the sink fixture, building a wall/dry wall). It's what you do! And it's what I expect others to do. I HATE the fact that I have to sign 8,000 sheets of paper for a mortgage or have 4 sheets of small print contracts. If I loan you something, I don't care if it's my lawn mower or $1000...I shake your hand, look you in the eye and that's it. We are lacking Honor..because Honor will get you to do the right thing. The only exception that I have, When my wife starts complaining about work, I ask her if she wants me to fix it. If she says, NO, then I listen and don't comment. If not, I try and fix it aka (Deal with IT). That's how things work. And just for the record....Ladies if you can do it, please do. If a light bulb goes out, change it, just like if there is a dirty dish/etc, we can deal with that too. 2 way street and team work. Finally...all this time I thought my wife was the only perfect wife. Looks like we have a bunch of them. Nancy rocks!! ...she'd rock more if she let me buy Zipps... |
