I've read this essay before, and MOST of it is B.S.

This is BS...

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.

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,

A Retrosexual will give up his seat on a bus to not only any women but any elderly person or person in military dress (except 2nd Lt's)

Most of this essay could have been written by Gloria Steinem. Gimme a break. I don't give women free food and drinks simply because they agreed to spend time with me. As for opening doors and giving up my seat? Hey, I'm all for equality, women can take care of themselves.

By the way, I was once a 2LT, and whoever thinks that a person that volunteers for the military as an officer should be rediculed because they are a 2LT can kiss my ass.

rediculed

????? Is that an O-1 or O-2 word?

"I don't give women free food and drinks simply because they agreed to spend time with me. As for opening doors and giving up my seat? Hey, I'm all for equality, women can take care of themselves."

Do you enjoy dating liberal women, because that's the only kind that are going to appreciate that attitude?

Believe me, with your attitude any time a woman would spend with you is worth far more than the food and drinks.

Sure, women CAN take care of themselves. The point is, if there is a real man around, they shouldn't HAVE to.

By the way, I was once a 2LT...

You and I might have been exceptions, but there is that perception.

If you don't see yourself as a Retrosexual, that's OK too.

Your a semi- wussy man.
You are part of the problem.You like to pick and chose those parts of manhood which directly benefit you, and eschew those parts that cost you effort.
I would guess you are just a typical loudmouthed jerk, who pretends ro be a real man.You are probably short and obnoxious.I dare say you also kick small puppies when angry.(LOL)
And 2LTs are supposed to treated like pondscum!
Many highly qualified NCO's have refused to join officer ranks since they would have been forced to wear butterbars in public!

Wow. You sound like a real charmer, not to mention one heck of a fun date!

What's the difference between a 2nd Lt. and a Lance Corporal ?

The Lance Corporal has been promoted TWICE.

I know which one of you guys I would not like to date!

"Most of this essay could have been written by Gloria Steinem."

You've got to be kidding. Years ago, before the feminists and Gloria Steinem, (like in my father's generation), the rules you mentioned were the ones most men followed. It was considered gentlemanly. And most men were gentlemen.

Well, Gloria and the feminazi's changed those things. One of the many reasons feminism, all things considered, was and is not a plus for women in the long run.
