OK folks, I have had it. I've taken all I can stand and I can't
stand no more. Every time my TV is on, all that can be seen is effeminate men
redecorating houses and talking about foreign concepts like "style".
Real men of the world, stand up, scratch your butt, belch, and yell
"ENOUGH!" I hereby announce the start of a new offensive in the
culture wars, the Retrosexual movement.

The Code.......
A Retrosexual, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE ****
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 **** . Be it a flat tire, break-in into your
home, or a natural disaster, you 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. Retrosexuals need an
end cap (possibly 2 end caps if you include shaving goods.) A Retrosexual
does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old.
A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.
A Retrosexual should not give up excessive amounts of manliness for
women.
Some changes are evitable, 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 tree 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 IT. When you screwed up, he
DEALT with you.
A Retrosexual knows how to tie a Windsor knot when wearing a tie.
A Retrosexual should have at least one good wound he can brag about
getting.
A Retrosexual knows how to use a basic set of tools. If you can't
hammer a nail, or drill a straight hole, practice in secret until you can or
be rightfully ridiculed for the wuss you be.
A Retrosexual gives a lady his seat on the bus/subway/etc.
A Retrosexual knows that owning a gun is not a sign that your are
riddled with fear, guns are TOOLS and are often essential to DEAL WITH IT.
Plus it's just ****ed fun to shoot.
Crying...........
There are very few reason that a retrosexual may cry, and none of
them have to do with TV commercials, movies, or soap operas. Sports teams are
sometimes a reason to cry, but the preferred method of release is
swearing or throwing the remote control. Some reasons a retrosexual can cry
include (but are not limited to) death of a loved one, death of a pet ( fish
do NOT count as pets in this case), loss of a major body part.
A retrosexual man's favorite movie isn't "Maid in Manhattan" (unless
that refers to some foxy french maid sitting in a huge tub of brandy or
whiskey), or "Divine secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood". Acceptable ones may
include any of the Dirty Harry or Nameless drifter movies (Clint in his better
days), Rambo I or II, the Dirty Dozen, The Godfather trilogy, Scarface, The
Road Warrior, The Die Hard series, Caddy shack, Rocky I, II, or III, Full
Metal Jacket, any James Bond Movie, Raging Bull, Bullitt, any Bruce Lee
movie, Apocalypse Now, Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs, or Fight Club.
When a retrosexual is on a crowded bus and or a commuter train, and
a pregnant woman, **** , any woman gets on, that retrosexual stands up
and offers his seat to that woman, then looks around at the other so
called men still in their seats with a disgusted "you punks" look on his face.
A retrosexual knows how to say the Pledge properly, and with the
correct emphasis and pronunciation. He also knows the words to the Star
Spangled Banner.
A retrosexual will have hobbies and habits his wife and mother do
not understand, but that are essential to his manliness, in that they
offset the acceptable manliness decline he suffers when married/engaged in a
serious healthy relationship. I.E. hunting, boxing, shot putting, shooting,
car maintenance.
A retrosexual knows how to sharpen his own knives and kitchen
utensils.
A Retrosexual man can drive in snow (**** , a blizzard) without
sliding all over or driving under 20mph.
A retrosexual man can chop down a tree and make it land where he
wants.
Where ever it lands is where he wanted it to land.
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 officers above
2nd LT.)
NOTE: The person in military dress may turn down the offer but the
retrosexual man will ALWAYS make the offer to them and thank them
for serving their country.
A retrosexual man doesn't need a contract, a handshake is good
enough.
He will always stand by his word even if circumstances change or the
other person deceived him.
A retrosexual man doesn't immediately look to sue someone when he
does something stupid and hurts himself. We understand that sometimes in
the process doing things we get hurt and we just DEAL WITH IT.
 
Do yourself a favor and throw a rock through your television set! I agree there may be some decent television programming, but the vast majority of it is bullcrap, not even worth the time to watch it.
 
Those that don't like this post may go whining to their shrink.

I have got to remember to check the end cap for a stick of Old Spice Original Formula today.
 
Right on!

I'm retro...I'm hetero

I'm not "homophobic" whatever the **** that means but will all the gay crap being shoved down our throats lately, you'd think half the population was gay.

I don't know what's funnier... the "down our throats" double entendre, or the fact that this guy doesn't know he's homophobic. I don't mean gay-bashing homophobic, but definately "gays give me the heebie geebies" homophobic.

So?

I wouldn't call it phobic, just because I don't celebrate something
 
Jason, get used to it. If you don't love their lifestyle you MUST be afraid of it.

I just happen to think homosexuality is immoral, wrong, and not exactly the best thing for our species, but if I say that out loud without saying "not that I'm against THAT or anything"....I have to wear a label...the label says: "hater"......so you are lucky to simply be called "phobic"...

Looks like I qualify at 100%, but then I'm from Pittsburgh where the mullet is alive and well.

True story: I was home from work with the flu a few years ago, lying on the couch channel surfing. On comes the Christopher Lowell Show, which I had never seen before. I swear I didn't think it was real and I was waiting for someone to come on and say "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!". After a few minutes, I was like, wait a sec, this dude is for real.
lol.gif
 
OMG Lowell. That guy should NOT be an interior decorator. He sets drapes on fire by standing to close.

Pablo, you say homosexuality is immoral and "wrong". Yet you take exception to being called a hater. If you're not ashamed of feeling that way, seems to me you shouldn't flinch at that label.

I don't flinch, but it's just not true. I don't "hate" someone for being a ********** , I don't "hate" homosexuality. But, from my viewpoint homosexuality isn't right...it's something gone very wrong when a male does it with another male....etc, and without detail....

You ***** and complain, about "for us or against us mentality", and then you pull that one out of your hat. Just because Pablo, does not agree with homosexuality.......that does not make him a "hater", any more than you supporting homosexuality makes you "light in the loafers".
 
come one, i posted this for a grin.

everyone needs to lighten up.

it's late friday afternoon. let's all relax, take a deep breath, and approach this with a sense of humor.
 
Take a motrin, sbc. I was trying to have a dialogue with Pablo. You're making a lot of assumtions here. From what I've posted, you can't say one way or the other whether I agree with him being labeled a hater, nor whether or not I "support" homosexuality. It's called a Socratic discussion. I was trying to discuss the idea of unabashedly feeling one way that society labels in a negative way (eg. hater). Should one take exception to being labeled, or accpet the label as a way was acknowledging a stance?
 
I started out laughing at the post, and then at the end I realized I know at least two people exactly like that.

The first was my brother-and-law's father. "Dealt with" his son with physical and emotional brutality (per BIL's description). The second is my brother-in-law himself - "dealt with" his son with physical and emotional brutality.

His son, my nephew, we are trying desperately to straighten out before he ends up in jail.

So my laughter was somewhat muted.

As far as Pablo, the fact that he is not at one extreme end of the spectrum does not impart any knowlege as to whether he is at the other. Just the same as it is with Mystic - people not being enthusiastically pro-Christian does not mean they are rabidly anti-Christian.

Jail now thats a place you can be a real man and have sex with men but not be a ********** ....
dunno.gif
 
They should add that to the "Code of the Retrosexuals"

There is only one time when it's ok to take it in the ******: jail. And when it happens that four angry inmates corner you in the shower and show you the dirty in "dirty sanchez", then you DEAL WITH IT.
