23. retrosexual
Who says it has to be the opposite of metrosexual? A retrosexual is (in the female case) that woman who eschews the sexual-revolution plank of feminism in favor of more-traditional values. Perhaps even 1950s values (this is not to say she goes as far as the cone-bra). A little burlesque, a little Betty Crocker, the retrosexual woman has new-fangled spunk and old-fashioned values: she does for abstinence and monogamy what Slang Flashcards do for Dover illustrations. She may be, well, Sexless in the City, but only 'cause she chooses to be.
At my cocktail hour the other evening, we were discussing just how "retro" I am — that I have at some times sought to attract men by baking them cookies or knitting them slippers. "You're so RETRO!" someone cried. "Oh no," I replied. "I'm retrosexual."

1. The "hip" version; The opposite of metrosexual. Basically, any typical male who dosen't have a hissy fit over their own image like a shallow twat.

2. The real version; Anyone who has got a liking and embraces classic pop culture. This can be a various formats of like from sixties television to eighties music, there is no need to limit yourself to one decade just as long you don't really feel excited with today's current trends. (Which basically is starting to whore out the eighties at the moment anyway.) Also refferred to as having a "retrocrush".

A retrosexual is a possibly, or likely even, male consumer who chooses clothes and accesories that have stood the test of time, and usually regards ironing as a waste of good book reading time. They are usually oblivious to current jargon and slang.
What have you got there John?

Why Jennifer, its my 1998 Apple Newton 2100 PDA. I bought it on eBay last week, just so I could read ebooks from Project Gutenberg more easily on the bus. You know, it has the biggest screen of any PDA, and it comes with a sled to use ordinary AA rechargeable batteries! This means those weirdly shaped batteries in your phone or Palm that won't be made in seven years time are no longer a problem. And it can read my handwriting!

Well, whatever. It sure goes well with that op shop suede jacket. And I bet you don't even know what a retrosexual is?

Mmmmh?

Wears retro fashion in a modern way, listens to electronica and has a passion for old video games and listens to music which can relate to the sounds of those of the 80s or 90s.
