This is a cut and paste I found on Ford site I frequent. I thought ya'll would like it.


Please allow me to vent. I have had it. I've taken all I can stand and I can't stand no 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 into your home, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.

A Retrosexual not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself.

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 and still smoking cigars and drinking, I salute you. If you are still having sex, you are a God.

A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman. Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff. Retrosexuals need an 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. ( You are REALLY manly if you don't know what Hot Topic is. )


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 froo-froo little puss, and in the long run, she ain't worth it.

A Retrosexual is allowed to seek professional help for major mental stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a freak treechipper accident, favorite sports team being moved to a different city, 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 outfit in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey.

A Retrosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a tie -- and ONLY a Windsor knot.

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 one off in the direction of those people or things that just need a little "wakin' up".

Crying. There are very few reason that a Retrosexual may cry, and none of them have to do with TV commercials, or soap operas. Sports teams are sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of release is swearing 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 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 mother 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, cigars, car maintenance.

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

A Retrosexual man can drive in snow (hell, 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 damn well 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 give up his seat on a bus to not only any women but any elderly person or person in military dress. NOTE: The person in military dress may turn down the offer but the Retrosexual man will ALWAYS make the offer to them and thank them 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 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 !
 
LMFAO!! That is awesome!

edit: Wait just a damn minute!
A Retrosexual will have at least one outfit in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey
What the hell is a retrosexual doing with an 'outfit' in his closet? If a pattern on a shirt matches that of a pair of pants, it is just dumb luck.
 
A Retrosexual man opens doors for a lady. Even for the ones that fit that term only because they are female.
I held the door for Beardown last night, does that count??? :D
 
A Retrosexual does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old. ( You are REALLY manly if you don't know what Hot Topic is. )

I had to do a search on Hot Topic to find out what it was.

MorWhat is Hot Topic?
Hot Topic is a mall-based chain of retail stores that specializes in apparel, accessories, gifts, and music for teenagers. Walk into a store and the first thing you'll feel is energy. Energy from the music, energy from the merchandise, energy from the people. all of this is what makes Hot Topic different. The merchandise reflects a variety of music related lifestyles, which include street wear, retro influenced lounge, punk, club, and gothic. Add to that the wide selection of unique gifts and unusual accessories and you have it: Hot Topic is like no other store in the mall.

History of Hot Topic
Founder Orv Madden realized in 1988 that no other retailers were taking timely advantage of the direct correlation between music videos, alternative artists, and teenage fashions. Hot Topic takes its fashion cues from music videos, concerts, and music magazines and is always ahead of the curve. Many fashions worn by bands such as Korn, Linkin Park, and Good Charlotte have often appeared in Hot Topic stores prior to their wide spread popularity. If it's happening in music related fashion, it's happening at Hot Topic right now.

What can you find in Hot Topic?
Music is where Hot Topic began, and it firmly remains at the core of everything Hot Topic does. Hot Topic styles are influenced and reflect virtually all forms of rock music. Hot Topic carries the latest in street wear (Caffeine, Kikwear, GAT,and private label MT:2), club (want vinyl? Hot Topic has it in tops and bottoms for men and women), lounge (Lucky 13, Casino Wear and Johnny Suede), and punk (Lip Service, Serious and Dog Pile). Hot Topic also has its own line of private label apparel, Morbid Threads. In addition, the stores carry a wide assortment of licensed band merchandise (T-shirts, stickers, patches, hats, etc.).

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Hot Topic has lingerie, hosiery, cosmetics, belts, handbags, shoes, and Morbid Metals; Hot Topic's very own line of body jewelry. Need some glitter make-up? A silver skull ring? Looking for that messenger bag? What about those shoes for the concert tonight? Ever thought about dying your hair Cupcake Pink? You can find it all in one place.

Hot Topic also has those gifts you can't find anywhere else. Whether you want a journal, an Invader Zim plush, a Grumpy Bear inflatable chair for your room, candles, a Simpsons Auto Sun Shade for your car, the latest issue of your favorite music magazine, or collectible action figures, it's all here!

Where is Hot Topic?
Hot Topic is a mall based national chain with locations in 48 states and on the web. Check out the store locator to find the location nearest you. The company is expanding rapidly. There are currently over 420 stores with growth continuing each year. Hot Topic is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol HOTT.
 
Great find Bill...
I don't think I get any energy walking into any store, unless of course its a Cabelas... ;)
But then again, I'm not the kid I used to be... :D
 
2fast that was beautiful.

If I may add one thing...the following is the God's honest truth. My ex merchant marine, ex marine, retired NYC fireman stepdad gave me and my stepbrother this speech when we turned 13. (we're 6 weeks apart)

"Pay attention you two. You're 13 now andthat means you're not little boys anymore. Now its time to start becoming men. Men wear a watch, carry a knife, a wallet with money in it and a handkerchief. They do not beat women or dogs unless they're weak. Men can throw a punch and more importantly, can take one. That's the basic's. The rest you learn as you go. Try not to f#&k up the same way twice. Besides taking care of this family, I have one real responsibilty in this life and that's to make sure you two grow up to be men."

My step dad could be the patron saint of retrosexuals.

Again, 2fast, outstanding post
 
Cool! I've been trying to figure out what term discribed me...guess I'm a "Retrosexual." I was raised with those principals as if Paul (St. Paul) had written them. Only one difference...I can express anger, mirth, rage, and all the rest of the stuff except grief. That was something that my dad (God rest his soul) tuned out of us boys at a very early age. "I'll be @#$damned if I'm gonna raise any 'Little Lord Fauntleroy's' around here! Ya got that boy?" Actually he was a good old guy, but didn't want his kids to screw up too badly. Good thing...cuz he passed on when I was about 13. Everytime I started to screw up like a typical teenager, I would think about what he would say about it if he was still around.

Like the message said...I'm getting so darned tired of the stuff I see on TV that I seldom even turn it on...unless it's Monday night and American Chopper is on.
Hey...they're like family! :D
