From Wired Magazine:
Retrosexual n. – The opposite of a metrosexual. These alpha males harbor a disdain for hair gel and Botox that’s as powerful as their love of red meat, which they occasionally hunt themselves.
I’m not sure if retrosexuals would call themselves retrosexuals. I’m not sure if I qualify as an alpha male that could rough it out Rambo style in the jungles of Cambodia, but I do own a Leatherman and a nice set of tweezers in case I get a splinter in my finger out in the wild. I do harbor a mild disdain for hair gels, preferring to use a finger-applied pomade to give better texture and hold. I am also totally against Botox, preferring a self-applied treatment of exfoliating cleansers and multi-vitamin night time moisturizers. I guess I am a retrosexual after all.
