It is one of the classifications that seek to group a certain set of people, in this case, men who identify with the traditional male role, but with a touch of the female liberation that is experienced today. It is considered a term that is in opposition to metrosexuality, a movement that levels the individuals who take care of their appearance to an unusual degree, but without reaching narcissism; Men are the ones who are immersed in this category, since women are seen as the gender that takes much more care of their physical appearance, an example of what their nature represents.
A man in the age of 50 years, with the white touch that can be seen in his hair, as well as the wrinkles on his face, represents what is the perfect specimen of someone retrosexual. The naturalness of his physical condition suggests that he does not make an effort to take care of it. But, coming to reality, they do it; Some of the most important cosmetic institutes agree that the secret of these subjects is to apply cosmetic treatments in the appropriate areas, to eliminate the folds of the face a little, but not completely, as well as skin care for make it look hydrated and healthy.
For some, the fact that these individuals have appeared means that today's men and women want to return to what was established at first: the model of a family dominated by the father and cared for by the mother, but without losing what it has already been achieved, such as gender equality. However, for others it only represents a trend that will spread, and then be eradicated, like many others.
