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

Yep that's us alright, Retrosexuals. But you made us sound kinda sissiefied under the one about killing most of the red meat we eat, when you forgot to mention that we kill it with our bare hands.

LOL! You better not drop the soap.

A Retrosexual does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old.

LOL. Sight unseen, without having a clue what Hot Topic might be, I'd wear it in exchange for being 30 years old - for a little while, anyway. ;-)

I definitely married a retrosexual. :-) He's a keeper! I think any real lady would prefer a retrosexual to some yo-yo who is trying to act like her.
My favorite has been walking on the bus with my kids and seeing the crankiest looking old men bark at the younger guys to make room as he gets up to offer a seat. The younger guys always have that look of shock that I love to see. But they will listen.

Also, we don't use the term "issue" when we're talking about problems. Issues are what periodicals and newspapers publish.

Not just a tacklebox. We have a whole garage full of stuff we are going to fix...some day...and plenty of spare parts for everything stuffed in boxes, too, just in case we might need it some day.

Let me give you an example of a man.

He can keep any car running that he has to but works to afford the best for his family.

He can fix anything in the house but knows when to call in an expert.

When he smokes meat out on the smoker he converts vegetarians. But if he has invited a vegetarian they will also be amply provided for at his table(his roasted garlic is to die for).

He is always honest and respectful until it is appropriate not to be.

He ensures the safety of his loved ones with proper security of his property and teaching them all how to use the guns he has given them if they didn't already have their own.

He opens doors, pulls out chairs, walks curbside for those of the female gender, stands when they are being introduced at his table etc etc etc...

Intelligent, interesting to talk to, polite, ambitious and did I mention honest?

I could go on but I think you get the idea. I may not be totally objective but I don't thing anyone could be more happily married.

Sorry ladies, I've been married to this one going on 23 years now. I am so in love.

Oh yeah! He wears jeans and flannel shirts unless he has to represent one of his businesses at the State House. Does yard work whenever he can and just bought a wonderful orange Kubota tractor with a front end loader,a bush-hog attachment and grass cutter. He got the little camouflage 4X4 dump truck too. He drives one of the biggest pickup trucks there is. He can haul anything. Not only has a garage of tools but all the guy toys. You know, paint ball equipment, roller hockey, rappelling, mountain climbing, compound bow, camping for all climates. He complains if I do something manually that he has a powered thing for.(from sweeping the front porch to clipping the hedges, I like things a little quieter) He doesn't care for beer but has been known to drink on occasion. We live in the north Georgia mountains. We are fortunate my self employed suburbansexual was able to move his business offices here where he can watch the deer and turkey while impressing the hell out of the bankers, developers, business associates and get this for making you guys jealous. Our business partner is big time into her sorority and entertains the girls up here as a sponsor. My husband on a few occasions has had to play chauffeur, chef etc to these young ladies. He has his helicopter pilot license but not his own bird yet so his trainer helps out and comes up here to give the girls rides. I'm sure he hates it.

Sorry, I'm blabbering and bragging. Sometimes I get carried away in my happiness and bliss. Thanks to my husband I was able to retire at 46.

We had a deal. The first 20 years of our marriage I worked and paid the bills while he did whatever he chose. At the end of 20 years I quit work and he would support me till the day I die. Did I mention how honest this man is?
