Those men who think this sort of thing is "cool" are in for a rude awakening because here are some additional terms of being a "Retrosexual" that you didn't bargain for but which are part of the "package" anyway ...

When you have a disagreement with your wife/girlfriend and she decides to falsely accuse you of "domestic violence" (just to "put you back in line"), and they arrest you without even hearing your side of the story, you can just DEAL WITH IT!

If you're married and subsequently get divorced and they pin you with alimony just because you're a man and she's a woman, and even if she makes more money than you, you can just DEAL WITH IT!

If you have any kids, or if your girlfriend or ex-wife gets pregnant and decides to pin child-support on you even if you weren't the father, you can just DEAL WITH IT!

If you lose your job (or get turned down for one) just because they prefer to hire women (even if they're less qualified than you for the job), and you lapse into poverty or homelessness, well ... you can just DEAL WITH IT!

If they ever bring back the military draft and you happen to be of that age range, you might be involuntarily shipped off to fight on the front lines and have your life put in jeopardy (something that women are not required to do), and you might come back in a box or with missing limbs. But, hey, you can just DEAL WITH IT!

You see, being polite and courteous to women is commendable in the same way as being polite and courteous to ANYONE, male or female. But when men inconvenience themselves (and in some cases inconvenience other men) for the convenience of women they don't even know, then they are fools (at best). Why are they doing this? Do they expect to be automatically better treated by other women (as if other women automatically know or even care that he did this "good deed")? Do they expect to be rewarded by "God"?

The hard reality is, expecting some sort of payoff from sacrificing yourself for a woman you don't even know is like expecting a tiger not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

WOW! I be glad I ain't one of them Retread sex guys or whatevers. I am old enough that I still treat women like Ladies. When I hold the door open for them and they don't acknowledge it, I just smile and say "Fu*ck You very much" or "You are Fu*king Welcome. I still consider women as someone nice to snuggle with on them cold winter nights and someone that can be the Best Friend a man could ever have, iffn he treats her with Respect and Listens.
Robert(crusty old Texan)

because you are a vegetarian.
