		I’m not sure when the retrosexuals will come to Brooklyn, (or if they ever will), but it’s nice to know that they’re out there somewhere, eating red meat and slopping it all over themselves.
		A Retrosexual man can master any vehicle that he happens across, be it on land, snow, water or air, 2 wheels, 3 wheels, 4 wheels, 18 wheels, or no wheels.

	Message Board - RetroSexuals: The Anti-Metro
		A retrosexual is a man with a generally poor sense of style,not necessarily a boor; rather, someone who rejects being finicky about physical appearance.
		Beckham is the uber-metrosexual, not just because he rams metrosexuality down the throats of those men churlish enough to remain retrosexual and refuse to pluck their eyebrows, but also because he is a sportsman, a man of substance (a "real" man) who wishes to disappear into surfaceness in order to become ubiquitous to become media.
		However, the term is rarely used as a self-descriptor by such men, as they tend to prefer such terms as "real man", "old school", or "masculine" and see "retrosexual" as symptomatic of the very pretension they reject.

	reviewjournal.com -- Living - 'RETRO' vs. 'METRO'
		Retrosexuals, we're told, have fashion sense that extends no further than matching their baseball cap with their T-shirt, wouldn't recognize the "Queer Eye" guys unless you put football jerseys on them, think Chuck Norris is a god, and consider steak and potatoes the perfect meal.
		Trendies say the arrival of the retrosexual represents a backlash to the over-metrosexualization of America and heralds a return to the manly, traditional, guy's guy.
		Then, that same year, Simpson coined "retrosexual" as the antonym of "metrosexual" to describe "men who were not metrosexual, men who refused to get with the programme and pluck their eyebrows and cultivate their cuticles."

	Who's with me?
		There are very few reasons that a Retrosexual may cry, and none of them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas.
		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), or loss of a major body part.
		A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that your are riddled with fear; guns are TOOLS which are often essential to DEAL WITH IT.

	Rant
		Retrosexual males are not interested in plucking their eyebrows, trips to the salon, or men’s cosmetic products; they are the classically average no fuss types, proud of their football jerseys and jeans and they represent the majority of the male population.
		Built for guys, a bastion of retrosexual testosterone, Chopperz - The NON Salon is a men’s place, doling out the best in men’s services including haircuts, straight razor shaves and massages.
		A “third” place for men, Chopperz — The NON Salon is one local 32 year-old entrepreneur’s response to the “retrosexuals” males’ need to put distance between themselves and traditional hair salons.

	Word Spy - retrosexual
		Genuine guys are sometimes known as retrosexuals, to distinguish them from metrosexuals, who are men with the good taste of gay men, only they're straight.
		A retrosexual is simply someone who doesn't know the difference between teal and aqua, and frankly couldn't give a damn.
		It's entirely appropriate that this sense of the word retrosexual — that is, man as the anti-metrosexual — was first used by Mark Simpson, the coiner of metrosexual.

	Beyond The Rim... » Retrosexuals ‘R Us
		In this age of mega sexual discovery, Joseph Farah of WND waded through all of the various new sexual identities (homosexuals, bisexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, transgendereds, metrosexuals, and whatever else is out there) last April and decided nothing quite fit him.
		After some reflection, he determined he was a retrosexual, a biblical and traditional male reared in the feminine honoring tradition of Western Civilization (somewhat in line with Mark Simpson’s application of the term as anti-metrosexual).
		It meant taking responsibility for being the provider of my family, of considering my wife worthy of the supreme sacrifice and all of the little sacrifices leading up to the big one (he who is faithful in little…), of treating my wife, my daughter, and indeed all women with the utmost dignity and respect.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Male-targeted ads found to be in no man's land
		Most ads have lumped men into one of two groups – soft, caring "metrosexuals" who are comfortable with facial peels and pink shirts, and the stereotypical "retrosexuals," who remain oafishly addicted to beer and sports.
		Leo Burnett's survey of 2,000 men in 13 countries found that 60 percent see themselves as either power seekers who crave professional advancement or family men, or "patriarchs," who believe having children and being a father are the most important things.
		When asked which they would prefer, a higher standard of living with them staying home with the kids while the wife worked or a lower standard of living with them working and the wife staying home, less than half, or only 46 percent, said they'd prefer to stay home.

	The Pontifications of Maurice Broaddus: As the Marlboro Man Goes, So Go We All ...
		The Leo Burnett advertising agency, which created the iconic macho cowboy, said a new study it conducted found that half the men in most parts of the world don't know what is expected of them in society and three-quarters of them think images of men in advertising are out of touch with reality.

		A retrosexual man is satisfied with constant flipping of the channels for extended periods of time when nothing of interest is on.
		A retrosexual may like the taste of Wine Coolers and Bacardi whatevers but would never be caught dead ordering one when he is out with his buddies.
		A retrosexual never calls a movie a "sweet romantic comedy", it is a chick flick.

		Gay men are awesome friends, you can talk about stuff you would be insulted for talking about with your retrosexual friends...

	The Metropolis Times : Why Gay Rights are Good for Straight Men
		Stay-at-home dads have gone from being a running gag to a perfectly acceptable feature on TV programs, and the "metrosexual" trend made it acceptable for straight men to use good hygiene, get manicures, wear fashion and buy mixed drinks.
		This was accompanied by the "retrosexuals" personified on The Man Show, who made traditional male behaviors that radical feminists tried to kill OK again.
		Despite the obligatory jokes, retrosexual icons like Adam Carolla and Johnny Knoxville speak out against homophobia and accept homosexuals as men.

	IOL: Hair today... smooth is so yesterday
		Say goodbye to smooth-skinned swains - it's follicularly blessed pin-ups such as Viggo Mortensen, Jude Law and Robbie Williams who are to the fore of the new breed of Retrosexuals.
		Retrosexuals reject the implied effeminacy of rigorous personal hygiene in favour of the natural approach that reeks of nothing more than testosterone and Brut.
		And, frankly, when a man's got smoother legs than his girl, it's high time for macho stereotypes to rear their ugly heads.

	Capitalist Pig vs Socialist Swine
		Tonight I got to hang out with an old friend who recently moved back to Calgary from Toronto (from what I gather he decided to drop out of chemistry to start a company building dirt tracks for mountain bike races, motocross races, and stuff like that).
		Being the retrosexuals that we are, catching up almost always involves building something over beers.
		In this case we spent the evening pulling parts off an old bike to put onto a new frame.

	Tom Cochrane & Red Rider Live
		Showing why they've been able to last twenty years in a constantly changing scene, Illusion's set was enough to get the audience pumped, yet still wanting more.
		In between the openers and the headliners, the clubgoers were treated to short but spirited sets from two more local acts, The Retrosexuals (glam-meets-punk) and old school hard rockers Fillmore Slim.
		Then Cochrane's backing vocalist (and fellow canuck) Anet did four songs from her solo disc before passing the musical torch over to Cochrane himself.

		It has paid homage to the retrosexuals (Abhishek Bachchan, with his rugged, awkward macho-ness in everything from Bunty aur Babli to Sarkar).
		And though, like the retrosexuals, they’d rather be sporting the newest gun rather than the latest designerwear, there’s one crucial difference that sets them apart.
		On the other hand, there’s nothing easy about the retrosexual, like Shah Rukh Khan in Don — much like the angry young man of the Deewar and Zanjeer that he is moulded on, angst, fury and raging testosterone defines not just all his actions, but also his relationships.

		As for the three quarters that think advertising is out of touch with reality I must count myself in their numbers.
		Basically those are the two groups, but I must take major exception to the use of the term “retrosexuals” and the characterization of these men being “oafishly addicted to beer and sports”.
		In fact if it weren’t for sports the only thing a man would ever wonder is what is in the fridge.

		If you want to see the celebrity retrosexual in his native habitat, just check out Will Ferrell running around in his 'tighty whiteys' in "Talladega Nights," or Jack Black in a too-tight pair of polyester pants in "Nacho Libre."
		Even Kid Rock -- who could never be accused of unnecessary grooming -- has found himself a pretty little lady to share a beer with (again) -- Pamela Anderson!

	The Retrosexual Code - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum
		I could put up with the humour on the "Retrosexuals" page, though it made me wince a bit - it's not exactly politically correct.
		However the side links to "Hold My Beer" (which tried to set me up to an over-18's site) and the link called "Head up your a__ Headlines" are definitely not family friendly.
		I think these "real men" or "retrosexuals" or whatever they want to call themselves need to stop being so threatened by people who are breaking free of the traditional gender roles and being themselves, rather than who society wants or expects them to be.

		Following on ever so nicely were The Retrosexuals with their swift breed of electro rock, combining guitars, synths and keyboards, and strong beats.
		The Retrosexuals look like a group of metrosexuals who have just been liberated from the repressive regime of army life.
		They have a peculiar electro distorted rock 'n' roll sound, a mash of electro modernity and rock history; they left a lasting impression but not a tattoo.
