Retrosexual?


Retrosexual?
Originally uploaded by nadia.ship.
So they say it's the year of the Retrosexual. Metrosexuals are out, retrosexuals are in. So who is a retrosexual, and are you one? Here is a brief description provided by scotsman.com, for your reference: "In short, being retrosexual is about being a guy's kinda guy. It's about being masculine with the emphasis on mature rather than moronic. While the New Lad would binge on a takeaway curry and 12 pints of lager, and the metrosexual would obsess over the right kind of Italian pesto, the retrosexual would ideally like to kill dinner himself with an axe, shotgun or fishing rod - or at least know a pal who could supply it - and either barbecue it himself or have his good lady cook it that evening.

While the New Lad would drink himself unconscious on super-strength lager in front of the TV, and the metrosexual might limit himself to a couple of glasses of organic Merlot, the retrosexual will have a beer, most likely from a bottle and usually just one or two as you never know when you might need to drive that night. Metrosexual would need a woman to kill spiders for him, Loaded Man would place a bet on how long the spider took to get to the edge of the table, retrosexual will dispatch the eight-legged friend. And rather than mutter about equality, or worry about causing offence by perpetuating a patriarchal stereotype, he will open doors for women."
