Manscaping 101 Men\’s Grooming Tips from head to toe for looking and smelling great

Retrosexual versus Metrosexual versus I just want to look good and not care about labels

by Tris Hussey on June 2nd, 2008

 The whole “metrosexual” thing drives me more than a little nuts.  Now there is a (clearly) satirical “retrosexual” man idea that we need, as men, to be “real” men, back to our rugged roots:

Once, men were simply men. But then feminists decided they were chauvinist pigs who didn’t spend enough time doing the dishes. So along came the guilt-ridden New Man, swiftly followed by sensitive, moisturising Metrosexual Man. Of course, women soon missed the whiff of testosterone and were calling for the return of Real Men. Now a new book, The Retrosexual Manual: How To Be A Real Man, has been published. David Thomas tip-toes through the unashamedly macho details. . .—The return of real men: Ladies, get ready to meet Mr Retrosexual | Mail Online

Uh huh.  You know my plan is that I’m going to do things and use products that make me look and smell good.

As far as being retrosexual? Yeah I’d like to see the author of the book do a “quick shave” with a safety razor.  Man, that’s old school.

So if I use stuff that makes me look good and a woman think I smell good … I don’t freakin’ care.

Now excuse me while I plug in my new Bodygroom that I got today to review…
