I (along with most of the men here) am Retrosexual and proud of it.

So let me get this straight dead fish = no crying, live fish = ok to cry. This is a complex code of honor!

No ma'am, it ain't like that. I don't kill largemouth bass.

Twenty plus years spent pursuing a largemouth large enough to do a reproduction mount(10 pounds or better)+ loosing bass at boat = crying jag.

belch...ahhh I feel better already...Scuze me! hehehe

Does apologizing remove my qualification of being Retrosexual???

I have a sister who can belch and make the windows in the next town rattle. She has peaks and valleys, resonance and tonal quality. And she's real sweet and demure looking.

Just thought I'd get that in.

I am most of the time. Whenever I find myself being too nice, I count to 10, take a deep breath, and then I'm right back to being an insensitive jerk.

Believe me, girls eat that stuff up. They absolutely LOVE IT.

An officer you may have been, a gentleman you never were. How does it feel knowing you have to live a lie or be an ass in order to get a decent woman ??

A real man knows to be a gentleman; he also knows when to be a hard a$$.

[Centurion2000]

Respect is earned. I am courteous with women. I don't shower them with respect simply because they were born with a vagina.

This I actually agree with you on.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Thanks - but I'm not sure a true Retrosexual would use valuable time to make a list to describe their fashion sense or even adopt a term like 'Retrosexual' to classify themself - but I'll deal with it!

A Real Retrosexual knows how to tie a Four-in-Hand knot when wearing a tie -- and ONLY a Four-in-Hand knot,

Shwew...for a minute there I thought I was not a retro but reading that sure re-affirms my retro-ness.

You, sis and I are part of the very elite and tight "Poot and Belch Ping List"

Of course, I don't do any of those things; I just laugh uproariously and encourage those who do. :-)

Nice front end. >:)

No sh!t! I didn't know there was a name for it! I always thought names were for the wannabees and not-quites and ain'tgonnabees.

I'm sort of assuming that your Dad's shop was someplace in the USA, and had the revolving red-white-blue pole? Do the Turks use the "barber pole" to designate a real barber shop? I won't get my hair cut at a place that doesn't have the barber pole out front.

Yes, Dad's shop was in the USA. And surprisingly, some of the Turkish barbershops did have the revolving pole out front, despite the fact it's not part of their traditional culture, which is growing a beard. Most didn't have it, though.

[Smokin' Joe]

Yeah, I like her headlights.

[Smokin' Joe]

What? Retrosexuals wear TIES?. Oh, for weddings and funerals. OK.

Had to laugh...I hit them all, even the tree chopping. When we moved into our corner of suburban high priced paradise there was a twenty-footer on the front lawn that had to go. I started in on it as my metro neighbor was heading out. He was dumbfounded that I wouldn't hire the tree service he used. By the time he got back the tree was gone and I was stacking the sections at the curb. I know he wanted to be me.

Hey Joe, nothing wrong with getting dressed up to take the wife dancing once in a while...."found out you could dance and still look tough..."

Specialization is for insects."

You're wrong! Red Dawn definitely made me weep. Especially the part where they're looking at the names inscribed at Patriot Rock (sniff, sniff). Some John Wayne movies give me a sniffle mostly the Cavalry movies. I guess I tear up when I see noblility, bravery and honor. These are thing that are sadly lacking in todays society. You get more emotional the older you get I guess.

It's an unfortunate truth of human nature. I wish it weren't true because I don't really like behaving that way, but the fact is that if you treat a woman too nicely and respectfully she will either view you with contempt or instantly move you forever to the "just a friend" category.

[Smokin' Joe]

Not most of the places I drive. Too little ground clearance. It'd be fun on a paved road, though.
