Are You A 'Retrosexual' Man? [NOT 'Chickified'!]

"Men are treated as human wallets in the home and in the courts, as buffoons on TV and the movies, as hairless pretty boys in TV ads and women's glamour magazines, and as naughty boys that need discipline and correction on women's talk shows. Forget that stuff. I'm not living that way. No way." ~Sam Basso/Facebook philosopher

Deal With IT!

Please allow me to vent. I have had it. I've taken all I can stand and I can't stand any more. Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is effeminate men prancing about, redecorating houses and talking about foreign concepts like "style" and "feng shui." Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, metrosexual, non-sexual; blue, green, and purple-sexual? Bogus definitions have taken over the urban and suburban world!

Real men of the world, stand up, scratch your butt, belch, and yell "ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the culture Wars: the Retrosexual movement.

The Code:

>A Retrosexual man, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE DATE.

>A Retrosexual man opens doors for a lady. Even for the ones that fit that term only because they are female.

>A Retrosexual DEALS with IT, be it a flat tire, break-in at your home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.

>A Retrosexual not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself or with a group of his friends.

>A Retrosexual doesn't worry about living to be 90. It's not how long you live, but how well. If you're 90 years old, I salute you. If you are still having sex, a double salute.

>A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman. Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff. Retrosexuals need an aisle endcap (possibly 2 endcaps if you include shaving goods.)

>A Retrosexual does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old.

>A Retrosexual should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if need be. This falls under the "Dealing with IT" portion of The Code.

>A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.

>A Retrosexual does not let neighbors screw up rooms in his house on national TV.

>A Retrosexual should not give up excessive amounts of manliness for women. Some is inevitable, but major reinvention of yourself will only lead to you becoming a frou-frou little wuss, and in the long run, she ain't worth it.

>A Retrosexual is allowed to seek counseling for major mental stress such as death of your entire family in a freak tree chipper accident, favorite preacher dying, favorite bird dog expiring, etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy DEALING WITH IT. When you screwed up, he DEALT with you.

>A Retrosexual will have at least one article in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey.

>A Retrosexual knows how to tie his tie (or find a clip-on) but doesn't really like to wear one.

>A Retrosexual should have at least one good wound he can brag about getting.

>A Retrosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't hammer a nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can -- or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you be.

>A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that your are riddled with fear, guns are TOOLS and are often essential to DEAL WITH IT. Plus, it's just plain fun to fire them.

>Crying-There are very few reasons that a Retrosexual may cry, and none of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas. >Sports are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of release is yelling or throwing the remote control. Some reasons a Retrosexual can cry include (but are not limited to) death of a loved one, death of a pet (fish do NOT count as pets in this case), loss of a major body part, or loss of a major body part on your truck.

>When a Retrosexual is on a crowded bus and or a commuter train, and a pregnant woman, heck, any woman gets on, that retrosexual stands up and offers his seat to that woman, then looks around at the other so-called men still in their seats with a disgusted "you punks" look on his face.

>A Retrosexual knows how to say the Pledge properly, and with the correct emphasis and pronunciation. He also knows the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

>A Retrosexual will have hobbies and habits his wife and sister do not understand, but that are essential to his manliness, in that they offset the acceptable manliness decline he suffers when married/engaged or in a serious healthy relationship - i.e., hunting, boxing, shot putting, shooting, watching action movies, car maintenance.

>A Retrosexual knows how to sharpen his own knives and kitchen utensils.

>A Retrosexual man can drive in snow (heck, a blizzard) without sliding all over or driving under 20mph, without anxiety, and without high-centering his ride in a snow bank.

>A Retrosexual man can chop down a tree and make it land where he wants. Wherever it lands is where he shore as shootin' wanted it to land. Except on his truck--that would happen because of a "force of nature", and then the retrosexual man's options are to Cry, or to DEAL with IT, or do both.

>A Retrosexual will thank any person in military uniform that they encounter for serving their country

>A Retrosexual man doesn't need a contract -- a handshake is good enough. He will always stand by his word even if circumstances change or the other person deceived him.

>A Retrosexual man knows that if he hasn't been hurt doing something lately then he hasn't been doing enough and its time to get off his ass and get to work.

>A Retrosexual man doesn't immediately look to sue someone when he does something stupid and hurts himself. We understand that sometimes in the process of doing things we get hurt and we just DEAL WITH IT!
