Retrosexual - a man who is a romantic traditionalist; a modest but distinguished Alpha Male.
The New York Post calls it a return of “Manly Men.” With the popularity of shows like Blue Collar Comedy and the exists of SpikeTV and others, it seems like the popularity of the metrosexual is slowing down. The “metrosexual” episode of South Park did a great job at pointed out the extremes of the movement, and women’s reactions to the fashion and style obsessed men. Seems like women still want their men to be men. Although they hate the ‘man’ acts we do, they know its what makes us men. We don’t need to spend more time than women getting ready. We don’t need to own more hair-care products than they do. I mean, its good to be fashionable. Walking around in cutoff jean shorts and a t-shirt from the late 90s is not going to cut it. Its not that the retrosexual is stupid or has a caveman mentality about life and women, but as one magazine stated, we are men “who don’t know the difference between teal and aqua, and frankly couldn’t give a damn.”
