For the last decade, American men have been inundated with the idea that women prefer men who are in touch with their feminine side, men who are not afraid to spend a little extra time in front of the mirror, and maybe even wear a little make up to highlight the features of their face. We are told that men like John Kerry and Barack Obama are what women really want. Men who are not only unashamed of their femininity, but men who will even go so far as to display such faith in their feminism in public as Obama has time and time again.
Well, please allow me to set the record straight, because it seems that Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama are really not the type men that turn the ladies on. I found this survey from a deodorant company that inherently, just makes sense to me. I had not heard of this survey before now, but I have read numerous reports in Australian and European papers about it. I'd link you to the survey itself, if only I could find it, but like many polls and surveys it has disappeared within a few months. As I stated, most of my facts about this survey have been gleaned from information I could attain from the many articles written about the results. I must admit that I'm delighted with the findings, for me they make total sense. My guess is that the MSM would rather the men of America continue believing that women desire the kind of feminine men that currently occupy the White House. However, the way companies advertise their products proves that the following results of this survey must be true.
In an independent study commissioned by Lynx deodorant, 2800 women from 14 countries ranging from the ages of 18-34 were asked what they like in men. It turns out that 80% of women would rather have a man who is capable of being "sensitive without losing his masculinity". Women it turns out, are not much into the sensitive new-age guy who is touch with his feminine side. They want a man who can light their fires and

You're right, girls are being taught that normal male behavior is an illness, rather than learning how to deal with it in a feminine way.
And we end up with masculinized women and feminized men. This can't have a happy ending.
My Retrosexuality is defined by the following Retrosexual code:
A Retrosexual, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE DAMN DATE.
A Retrosexual opens doors for a lady. Even for the ones that fit that term only because they are female.
A Retrosexual DEALS with s***. Be it a flat tire, break-in into your home, or a natural disaster, you F****** 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.
A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman.
Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff.
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 s***" portion of The Code.
A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.
A Retrosexual does not let neighbors f*** up rooms in his house on national TV.
A Retrosexual should not give up excessive amounts of manliness for poontang. Some is inevitable, but major re-invention 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 wood chipper accident, favorite sports team being moved to a different city etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn't pay you enough attention. Daddy was busy DEALING WITH S***. When you f***** up, he DEALT with you. Cowboy up, pussy--cat.
A Retrosexual will have at least one outfit in his wardrobe designed to conceal himself from prey.
A Retrosexual knows how to tie a f****** Windsor knot when wearing a tie.
A Retrosexual does not strip naked, get into a sweat lodge, and bang on drums to bond with other guys. That s*** is gay. However dressing in kilts, banging on drums around a campfire, and drinking heavily is just fine.
A Retrosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't hammer a damn nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can or be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you be.
A Retrosexual's a-hole is an exit ramp on the road of life. Ladies, contrary to what Cosmo says, spontaneously sticking a finger back there is a good way to be launched off the bed (or if Hooters hot wings have been recently consumed, lose a finger). Make you a deal, we won't mess with yours unless you want us to, and you won't mess with ours period.
A Retrosexual will buy feminine hygiene products if he has to, but only under protest. This falls under unpleasant things you have to f****** DEAL with. Get some Hagen-Daas while you're at it.
A Retrosexual gives a lady his seat on the bus/subway/etc.
A Retrosexual does not order an apple martini at the bar. A Martini has f****** gin and vermouth in it damnit. And maybe an olive. In fact, why not just get a beer and a shot of scotch??
A Retrosexual doesn't get squeamish about having to DEAL with a pest animal, even if he has to kill it.
A Retrosexual does NOT use unisex perfume. The brand of after shave his dad used is good enough for him.
Retrosexuals build and fix stuff. If you can't change a light switch, install a ceiling fan, fix a broken toilet or build a tree house, learn how.
A Retrosexual teaches his children how to deal with bullies in a way that doesn't involve "examining the other child's motivation for aggressiveness".
A Retrosexual does not wear designer clothing (unless it is a really nice suit to impress a potential mate).
A Retrosexual knows what sex is and doesn't need a Democrat to define it for him.
A Retrosexual meets the young men his daughter she dates at the door and lets them know that Dad is the barrier method that will prevent the young man from attempting to get into his daughter's pants. (See 10 rules for Dating my Daughter)
A Retrosexual man owns an adequate variety of tools to accomplish whatever his next task might be. He has command over all he owns and can readily describe his next likely tool purchase. A rolling toolbox of at least his own height is a manly minimum.
A Retrosexual man is not to be reckoned with lightly. He possesses the ability to deal with it and if you happen to be “it” then you should watch your tone or be dealt with accordingly.
A Retrosexual man does not take advantage of lesser individuals simply because he can, but should he witness another attempting the same he’ll have little mercy on said bully.
A Retrosexual man has complete disgust for the entirety of our liberal media who’s weak minded ploy to “protect” all of the world’s minorities leaves them no one they are allowed to castigate as a group except the white males of the world. Screw the media and all of the fay actors getting rich portraying weak, shallow, dimwitted and effeminate roles that ruin our children’s standards of what real Americans should be.
A Retrosexual man doesn’t care if you agree with him or not. His opinion is not changed to suit the ears of the local audience.
A Retrosexual man does not care to be bothered with the annoying nuances of being politically correct. F*** them if they don’t like what I’m saying.
A Retrosexual man is not ashamed of his body nor of the sounds and smells the might emanate from it. He doesn’t mind cleaning up or dressing nice as the occasion may warrant but also understands the therapeutic value in a well rendered belch. In public or not.
A Retrosexual man not only knows about guns and ammunition but also is a skilled marksman. Do not take him lightly, dying slowly is a lot more painful and he knows it.
A Retrosexual man understands the vapid emasculating power of the city and spends significant effort to remove himself to the fresh air of the hills as frequently as possible.
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.
A Retrosexual man does not add fancy chrome where it is not needed for essential metal protection. His vehicles are purpose driven and rarely show signs of “dressing up”. If he drives a 4WD truck or jeep then it is dirty on a routine basis. It also shows scars from being used for its built purpose. And he does not care about these scars except as a show of pride that the vehicle has earned its stripes.
A Retrosexual man does not mind being alone. The company of others is pleasant but not required. He has no use for meaningless banter for the simple sake of conversation. Take your idle prattle elsewhere.
A Retrosexual man can start a fire with or without any assistance from matches, lighters or fuel.
A Retrosexual man can tie knots. Steadfast knots. Different ones as required to suit his purpose. He also knows about the different properties of ropes and which are best suited for different applications.
A Retrosexual man can use a knife. Any knife. And his knives are always sharp. His preferred pocket knife is the Swiss army knife but not the fancy ass version that contains 47 blades, a magnifying glass and two shades of lip gloss. One with a main blade, a saw blade, a can opener, a beer opener and a corkscrew will suffice. He can routinely use his knife to create things or to destroy things, all with equal aplomb.
A Retrosexual man can open his beer with a wide variety of tools, including his belt, and do so in less than 10 seconds.
A Retrosexual man understands sports. Not all sports but all essential sports. Who gives a s*** about jai alai or women’s badminton.
A Retrosexual man doesn’t mind getting dirty. A little dirt never hurt anyone. Only girls and whiny metrosexuals are paranoid about dirt. Men lived for thousands of years without washing their hands every fifteen minutes.
A Retrosexual man is personally responsible for all aspects of his life and doesn’t seek to blame others for the wrongs and injustices in his life. He deals with them.
A Retrosexual man is in touch with his feelings and he doesn’t feel obliged to share them with some nosy female who wants him as her emotional companion.
A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that you’re are riddled with fear, or are trying to make up for a small penis. Massage and sexual skills are the way to make up for a small penis, guns are f******* TOOLS and are often essential to DEAL with s***. Plus it's just damned fun to shoot.
LOL, Word!
only correction is that it’s been going on a lot more than the “last decade”
Been married to a “Retro” for 49 years. Wouldn’t change a thing.
However, he does have a soft side......with new puppies, grandbabies, the helpless. He demands much from himself and expects no less from others who are capable. (in all honesty, sometimes that’s kinda hard to live with, but I do, and would do it all over again.)
BRAVO!!!!
“Who gives a s*** about jai alai or women’s badminton.”
or..... CURLING...... (had to add that in light of the Winter Olympics)
Your boy is not a real man till he makes his two children legitimate.
and that goes for any male that does that...you hear me Matthew?
I hear you wardaddy, loud & clear & I concur about that..
Not sure why..
LMAO! Nooo, LOL.. Women change every day, according to Cosmo.
I read something funny the other day,,
"If men had periods we'd brag about the size of our tampons"..
In an independent study commissioned by Lynx deodorant, 2800 women from 14 countries ranging from the ages of 18-34 were asked what they like in men. It turns out that 80% of women would rather have a man who is capable of being "sensitive without losing his masculinity".
Careful. What the polled ones say, and what is true, may not match up.
I would never date a man with soft looking hands. I actually preferred a man with some callouses.
you what makes John Edwards ugly? his lack of character
i would take johnny depp any day of the week
DOUBLE THUD!!! Especially the SEALS!
Why so you can share make up?
LOL!!!
Ducking for cover!
he doesn’t take life too seriously
A real woman wants, desires and respects a real man — just as God intended.
Unless you are not conservative, he hates you. Depp despises America and our ways. Why on God’s green earth would you ever want anything to do with that communist bastard?
And yes he does take his hatred for the American way very seriously.
