What do you think of it? I love it and wear it, although some years ago that was looked down upon apparently it's cool now for a guy.

And aside of Pink specifically, what is your favorite color and why?

I have a couple of pink shirts, and I'm a guy. Yeah, pink seems more acceptable for guys to wear now.

I have a pink shirt, but it's a dude punching the head off another dude, so it's really awesome.

Pink is okay... I despise yellow though.

Red is my favorite. Unless darkness is a color.

I don't really like it, but I don't care if someone use it.

My colors... well, the bloody red and the marine blue, and well, the Black, though it isn't a color n.nU

I like pink. Not so much for clothing though.

The "color" that I like is not technically a color, so I can't tell you what it is, because it is defined specifically, as the lack of color.

I don't own anything pink, but I have alot of slightly faded red shirts.

Pink is my favorite color. In fact, I like it so much I wrote a poem about it last year.

i hate that color, except for the more supreme variation of which it is derived: red. i have at least one shirt with some pink in it and some rather pinkish stuff which nobody outside my house has to know about :shifty: . i rather wear something that is brown and crummy :tongue: .

I don't look good in pink, so I rarely wear it.

It's pretty though.

I'm a boy so I have been trained to hate pink since I was born. Alabama too, but that's a whole other story.

I think pink does nothing but bring out the beautiful tones in Bladen's eyes. :cool: (I admit that somebody wearing sunglasses was a completely inadequate smillie, seeing as this post was about eyes.)

I never used to like it all that much, and I still don't know if I really do, but I own a lot of pink clothing. It's cute I guess.

My favourite colour is burgundy though. :heart: Beautiful.

I don't really like pink much at all. Especially on clothing. My favorite color is red and well, I'll say black anyway, even though it's not actually a color.

Because guys are looking like girls more and more, specially caucasians but that's MY opinion. Also, guys are girlier than ever before *cough* emos, punks, etc.

There's something REALLY wrong with society.

Anyway, black and blue for me

How so? Who determines what each gender is supposed to dress, talk, walk, and think like? It changes with the time and place.

well pinks known to make men seen as secure when they wear it and men like to show theya re secure which made it popular. I like the color pink but i can never find any decent pink shirts because they dont match with my other clothes.

Pink is gay, I mean femine for men, but it's okay for us and my favorite color is yellow by the way.

I enjoy dark pink. Bright pink, or bright colors in general, don't mix very well with me. They literally sting my eyes.

I prefer dark red and blue, and black on occasion. Also white because it's pure.....

You're saying that white is more pure than white, you must be white huh?

Pink is an awful singer, therefore so is the colour (that's colour with a U)

I used to despise every color. Now, the only color I refuse to wear is orange.

Pink has definitely snuck its way into my closet in the recent years. Peachy-pink tones complement my skin =)

I use the color sometimes in graphical type stuff online, but I don't tend to wear it in terms of clothing.

Actually I am annoyed by pink-wearing men. Men can wear red... but pink? I wouldn't be caught dead in pink, even if it's the new style. In fact, I never pay attention to the current fashion anyway so that I can look more individualistic. I buy clothes that are commercially sold, but that few people wear.

Ok I just want to clarify one thing:

PINK DOES NOT MAKE YOU GAY.
LIKING IT IN THE ASS DOES.

Shut-up. I wear pink. I don't give a crap if it makes me look feminate or gay. Any guy who does is a stupid homophobe.

I wasn't saying it makes a guy look gay. In fact, not only do I have nothing against gay people (I myself am actually quite concerned with lowering discrimination against gay people) I don't think pink-wearing guys look gay. It just annoys me a little. The main reason I don't like it is that the contrast with guys features doesn't work well. Think about it. The strong features of a guy, the brightness of pink. I just don't find it looks that good.

Then again, perhaps my original post was a little too harsh. Individual expression is very important, so if guys like wearing pink as a style... they can. It's just not my style.

Pink's okay. I dont wear anything pink, but I dont usually wear anything much besides the classic black shirt/blue pants, so, not wearing a color doesnt mean I dont like it. One thing I dont get however, is pink is considered the de facto "female" colour. If thats it, then what's the male color? It might be blue, because of the way they sort stuff for babies........

Anyways....back on topic topic

Purple is the pwnliest colour of all. It is my favorite color I mean, what is more awesome than purple? Seriously folks, I dare you to tell me. (yes, I did alternate between 'color' and 'colour'. I did it on purpose)

But seriously. I like hot pink. And I think it is my favorite colour. In general, I like bright, annoying, attention grabbing colours. Maybe I have a disorder?

Clouded sky! You made me think Shauna was back for a second! :mad2: I like pink. I'm wearing pink right now actually. I don't find men wearing pink odd. I think it's just one of those things you've been taught, "Pink is a girls colour", so you believe it to be true.

I don't own any pink clothes though one of my red and white T-shirts made the white bits go a little pink...ooops. Yet how can I not like pink to an extent? Kitten is either in pink or similar all week and I pretty much spend a lot of time in her 2 tone pink bedroom.

I like pink. It's like a real cool color to wear in the summer where im from. I have some pink dress shirts and pants. Some people think pink is only like for valley girls and stuff like that. That things is wearing down though. Around my way boys are wearing pink all the time. It makes them look cool and touch etc. But I really dont see anything wrong with the color.:love:

At work, if I were to do a survey on how many guys choose pink, it would come out 50% pink, 50% any other color. Most males prefer the color pink, but that's probably just these days. I think pink is okay, I have a few shirts that are pink, but it definitely isn't one of my favorites. My favorite colors happen to be green and orange. I love orange more and more each day.

I'd be totally happy to wear a pink belt and bracelets or something but only with black. and I don't like to wear a whole lot of pink... I wouldn't wear a pink shirt unless i had something over it.
A pink belt and a few wrist bands will do me fine. :D

My favourite colours are Pink (with black) Acid Green, red and Black... can't decide.. :D

I don't care what anyone says, pink is a colour that screams 'female'. I don't see a problem with this at all. It's a fine colour. I just happen to think that if a guy is wearing pink, he's either trying to show that he's really feminine, or else he's trying to rebel against something. I don't think he's wearing it without really thinking "I'm going to go out of my way to wear pink." If a guy wears pink, he's trying to stand out in some kind of way or for some kind of reason.

I think girls can look good in pink, but not guys. Sexist? I suppose you could say that. But to say that girls and guys should be exactly alike with everything in their life is to ignore the fact that we are actually two different genders and have our own things that we do.

Miriel
05-15-2006, 12:33 PM
I've probably posted this, two, three times by now in various threads about the color pink, but traditionally, pink was always considered a boy color. Pink was seen to be a more powerful and bold a color than blue which was considered feminine and delicate. Even up until the early 1900s, pink was associated with boys, and blue for girls. The associations with both the colors only started to reverse around the mid 1900s.

So yeah. The colors themselves aren't exactly feminine or masculine. It's basically social conditioning that makes you associate one color for a particular gender.

Loony BoB

That's all good and well, and for all I know, green was a strictly girl colour in BC times, and yellow was a strictly guy colour. But for my entire life and most likely well beyond that time, pink has been a girl colour and my point still stands that if a guy is wearing pink, he's gone out of his way to do so. There are possibly some exceptions out there that people can come up with but 95-99% of the time I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Pink, in today's culture, is a girl colour. That's just the way it is, and you can rebel all you like but it doesn't change it.

My favourite colours are dark blue, black, and silver. Purple is also good, but it depends on the shade. Also, I wouldnt wear purple clothes, purple is often considered a girl colour too.

I have no trouble with girls wearing pink, but guys,,it just seems wrong to me.

My least favourite colours would be red and yellow...well, dark red goes well with black, but otherwise, I dont like it.

I pretty much like all shades of blue really. I liked blue as a kid, and never grew out of it. Also, I dont really beleive all this "black isnt a colour" thing. Seems to be a new fad saying that, sure, every colour if darkened enough, becomes black, and if lightened enough, becomes white. That doesnt mean its not an official colour though. I mean, pink is basically red/purple, and many other colours would be ruled out with the whole "shade vs. colour" thing.

Yeah, but I'm just sayin' that there isn't anything inherently feminine about the color pink. :greenie:

Pink is an awsome colour. The main reason? Because it is spawned from red and red is the BEST colour. Other reasons include Pink Floyd, Pigs, Marshmellows and strawberry milk :cool:
