Book rejects metrosexual for 'retrosexual'
Dave Besley's new book, "The Retrosexual Manual: How To Be a Real Man," urges readers to reject such metrosexual concepts as carrying purse-like bags, being flattered by attention from gay men and referring to men's toiletries as "products," The Sun reported Tuesday.
Besley wrote the retrosexual man instead engages in behaviors including rejecting foreplay in favor of having the woman send a text when she's ready for intercourse and avoiding public crying at all costs.
The book says retrosexuals are not allowed to know the definitions of words such as manicure, pedicure, facial and exfoliation. They also must only give women compliments in such a way that denotes a lack of understanding -- for example, Besley suggests men tell their women, "That's a nice badge, brooch-type thing you're wearing."

Well, I'm glad to see Dave is getting closer to reality.
Ever since the term "metrosexual" came out, I've wanted to hurl. It's like it gave gays and less manly guys their own place in the world. I'm okay with being in touch with your feminine side, however there is a fine line. It's okay in front of the girls. With the guys, you better act the part: belch, fart, and scratch like a real man.

Really...
I really hope that this book is a joke. I'd be disappointed to think that someone was actually trying to turn men back into bigger idiots. Not surprised, just disappointed.

Retro Sexual
I carry a canvas bag with my box of tissues and various allergy pills and stuff. I need someone to define "purse like". Can I think of myself as non-sexual because a runny nose is such a turn off? Can I call myself a practicalist because I only carry stuff I need? I am probably not a metro sexual because I worry gays might notice me. I refer to the so called toiletries as someones bathroom junk.

So, what's the term for someone not really a 'metrosexual' (e.g. gay wannabe who doesn't really wanna get laid) or a 'retrosexual' (e.g. buffoon who really doesn't wanna get laid)? Oh! I know...manosexual!
