The Retro-Guy Code
• A Retro-Guy, no matter what the women insists, pays for the date.
• A Retro-Guy DEALS with IT — be it a flat tire, a burglar, or a natural disaster, you DEAL WITH IT.
• A Retro-Guy not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself.
• A Retro-Guy should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if need be. This falls under the “DEALING WITH IT” portion of The Code.
• A Retro-Guy is allowed to seek professional help for major mental stress such as drug/alcohol addiction, death of your entire family in a freak tree chipper accident, favorite bird dog expiring, etc. You are NOT allowed to see a shrink because Daddy didn’t pay enough attention to you. Daddy was busy DEALING WITH IT.
• A Retro-Guy should have at least one good wound he can brag about.
• A Retro-Guy knows that owning a gun is NOT a sign you’re riddled with fear. Guns are TOOLS: See “DEALING WITH IT.”
• When a Retro-Guy is on a crowded bus and ANY woman gets on, that Retro-Guy stands up and offers his seat to that woman, then looks around at the other so-called men still in their seats with a disgusted look on his face.
• A Retro-Guy will also give up his seat to any elderly person or person in military dress, except officers above second lieutenant.(NOTE: The person in military dress may turn down the offer but the Retro- Guy will ALWAYS make the offer to them and thank them for serving their country.)
• A Retro-Guy knows how to say the Pledge properly, and the words to the Star Spangled Banner.
• A Retro-Guy sharpens his own knives and knows how to use tools.
• A Retro-Guy owns tools, usually lots of ‘em.
• A Retro-Guy doesn’t need a contract — a handshake is good enough.
• A Retro-Guy will take care of his neighbor’s yard when said neighbor is deployed overseas on military duty.
• A Retro-Guy doesn’t immediately look to sue someone when he does something stupid and hurts himself. We understand sometimes — in the process of doing things — we get hurt and just DEAL WITH IT.
Not mine but a decent start to a list of manly attributes. Sorely needed in todays world full of crying snowflakes. So many on here need help as they have obviously never known an actual man.

I was told what it was to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
I am getting older though but my children have learned a lot of what I know. Still more to do and they find out everyday they have more to learn.
Odd nobility spent their youth learning combat from the best available? Nope.
Litigating business disputes is so much more profitable than writing contracts clearly setting out all the expectations of the parties.
And we don't even need to mention the Statute of Frauds implications.
Please keep spreading the gospel, Sled.
Imagine my surprise.
He’s definitely not Retro Guy.
