retrosexual

noun

  1. A man who embraces traditional masculinity in his dress and behavior.

    Think of him as the anti-metrosexual, the opposite of that guy who emerged in the 1990s in all his pedicured, moussed-up, skinny-jeans glory. That man-boy was searching for his inner girl, it was argued. The retrosexual, however, wants to put the man back into manhood.

Where it comes from

Blend of retro + metrosexual. Apparently coined in the early 2000s by blogger Grau Magus.
