Retrosexual
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The term retrosexual is an antonym to metrosexual and a neologism with several conflicting meanings that reflect a spectrum of opinion about masculinity.
People who identify with the term think of it as an assessment of personality: a retrosexual, to them, is a person (usually male) who is a romantic traditionalist -- or, alternately, a modest but distinguished Alpha Male. The New York Post calls it a return of "Manly Men" in their July 18, 2006 article Beasty Boys.
People who do not identify with the term might describe a retrosexual as a man with an undeveloped or underdeveloped aesthetic sense who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance and lifestyle.
Some examples of retrosexuals in Hollywood are Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, and James Gandolfini.
Homosexual = Gay
Bisexual = prefers both genders sexually
Metosexual= straight men with too much fashion and grooming sense LOL

This article is about the pop-culture neologism. For the 2006 Thai film, see Metrosexual (film).
Metrosexuality is, according to British journalist Mark Simpson, the trait of an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. Simpson coined the term in 1994 in an article in the The Independent [1] after writing his book about contemporary masculine identity Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity. Simpson described the effect of consumerism and media proliferation, particularly the men’s style press, on traditional masculinity
bisexual means you like both genders
homosexual means you only like the same sex

The word homosexuality has acquired multiple meanings over time. In the original sense, it describes a sexual orientation characterised by aesthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire exclusively for others of the same sex or gender. Homosexuality is usually contrasted with heterosexuality and bisexuality. The term gay is used predominantly to refer to homosexual males. Lesbian is a gender-specific term that is only used for homosexual females. The adjective homosexual is also used for same-sex sexual relations between persons of the same sex who are not gay or lesbian. Three major forms of homosexual relationships are proposed by anthropologists: egalitarian, gender-structured, and age-structured. Of these, one is usually dominant in a given society at a given time.
Bisexuality in human sexual behavior refers to the aesthetic, romantic, or sexual desire for people of either gender or of either sex. For some writers, the term is parallel to homosexuality and heterosexuality, while for others the term expresses a blend of the two.

Metrosexual: A youthful guy who outfits trendier than something else of the crew and has hissy suits over what he feels like, who could or gained't be gay. Retrosexual: someone who outfits previous-shaped and would not care about what he feels like; the option of a metrosexual. despite the indisputable fact that, from time to time it may also confer with those who're previous shaped often and values older issues, like a delicate guy who outfits in lengthy-sleeve button-up shirts, has an Elvis hairdo, listens to Elvis and drives a 'sixty 5 Mustang. Bisexual: OH MY GOD you do not comprehend what it truly is? A bisexual means that someone do not have a sexual decision. In different words, the tremendous-warm women human beings that likes women human beings yet isn't a lesbian, which ability you are able to take area their movements... compared to lesbians who strictly date women human beings and ineffective to adult adult males.

Well, I haven't heard retrosexual before, so I'm not sure on that one. Metrosexual is a relatively new term, and I've only seen it used towards men that seem to be gay but aren't really gay.
Homosexual = Someone who is only attracted to their own gender for sexual partners. ie, a woman who is only attracted to other woman or a man who is only attracted to other men.
Bisexual = Someone who is attracted to both genders. This one covers a much broader base, and within it can be those who have a predilection to still lean towards one gender more than the other - though mostly it's used to describe someone who's attraction is impartial on a physical level.
