Pink Shirts and Dudes

[yearofthenick]

Do you think it's a revokation of the man-card for guys to wear pink? What's appropriate? If I go in for a job interview and I wear pink, do you think that would gain points or lose points?
I think pink shirts shouldn't be a determinant in considering whether or not someone is gay. A pink shirt paired with pink socks though - that's a pretty clear indicator.
Do you agree or disagree?

Pink is Pink, just like red is red. I dont think just cause you were a pink shirt your gay, but matching the socks and the shirt.....thats just a wee bit weird.

Your a guy and wear a pink shirt.... thats weak as hell...

 

[yearofthenick]

Actually, I would argue that a pink shirt-wearing dude is stronger than weaker. I think it takes guts to wear a pink shirt, and shows confidence.

I suppose "strong" men also wear guyliner right?

Also, in the first post, I use " I " as a hypothectical situation. I did have a job interview recently, but I never wore a pink shirt.

Haha no that's for guys who wear women's jeans and hoodies - that classifies in a completely different category.

 

[yearofthenick]

I believe it's the "what the hell is wrong with you?" category.

you could argue, but you'd be wrong.

what makes woman's jeans woman, and pink not womans?
Guys wearing pink is dumb, they are trying to be "non-conformist" and in doing so are conforming to all the fruitloops that wear pink to be nonconformist.

What? Come on!!! You can’t tell me you that you think that if a guy wears a pink shirt or a shirt that has pink in it that he is any less of a man then you are?
I'm a man NOT gay and I wear pink about three times a month in the summer... I'm 29 years old and 6' 3" 230lbs and I have never had anyone think I was gay or have any gay guys ever hit on me... but let me tell you this the girls love it! If I go out for drinks with pink on I will get more attention then nights I don’t...

The truth is subjective. Thanks for letting me know you disagree, and for saying it in such a refined and non-intrusive way.

The Media. Again, subjective. Hence the thread. Let's gather everyone's opinions.

I would agree and wearing pink is breaking away from what is standard... but you'd probably agree that breaking away from the standard is nothing new... that's always been trendy. I think it's what drives art, fashion, and ultimately the economy. I'm sure you do things that were once considered to be "non-conformist"... just because you're a little behind the times and it's become more accepted doesn't mean it was never that way.

I don't think it's wrong, nor do I think it's right. If it's a button up shirt with a nice tie and a sports coat, it's alright, but not just a pink t-shirt or even with some print on it, that's just... wrong.
Pink is ok in some cases, but in most - no.

[gypsana]

I am a woman and never wear pink. I really hate that color except on little girls. Even then it can be way over done. I feel like screaming when I walk down the Barbie isles in toy stores, TOO MUCH PINK AHHHHH!!!!

 

[cowfishrule]

I <3 pink shirts!!!!!! I have 3, maybe 4 in my closet in regular rotation.
I think pink looks awesome on me, especially when I'm tanned.

 

[kjr_trig]

I wear pink golf shirts on a regular basis, I even had a pink shaft in my driver for quite a while (X-Stiff flex mind you)....I don't mind it being a conversation topic on the first tee or even made fun of, they always shut up when I hit it 40 yards past them
