Real Men Wear Pink

Real Men Wear Pink
This phrase was first used as an excuse to wear pink.
Some guys would wear pink then try to mock their non-pink wearing counterparts for not being comfortable with their masculinity and other such nonsense.

Time for some manly fashion talk! :rolleyes2:

So how you think the color pink looks on a boy/man?

If you are male, do you own any pink clothes?

I do own a couple of shirts that have pink in the plaid pattern.

However, I don't think I own any solid color shirts besides one white one.

I disagree with the statement in this way.

To me, Real Men don't let other people tell them what 'real men' wear.

Pink was actually considered a masculine color back as far back as the 1920's due to its association with red and being a bright flashy color. Blue, which was perceived as a more dainty delicate color, was also originally perceived as a female color. This perspective ended up being switched during the 1940's/1950's.

On my end, I feel that pink is quite an elegant and delightful color, and probably ranks 4th in my list of favorite colors (followed by black, red, and my all-time favorite: white). I'm also someone who perceives gender stereotyping to be quite silly and embrace both female and male interests/hobbies/activities. So I couldn't exactly say that "real men wear pink" from my standpoint.

I don't know, but my favorite color is purple if that is relevant.

 

[Evil Eye]

All my shirts are either blue, black, white or something in between.
Though I think there might be one green one.

I'll side with DrLeftover on the 'real men' thing.

I love pink but I prefer the darker pink.
I love to make my cars pink on GTA V as well xD

I don't have any pink clothes myself. I suppose if I saw some shirt that I really liked, I'd get it no matter what color it was.

I don't really care about gender stereotypes.
Though I do have two pink shirts, one of them bought recently.

As a female, I wouldn't care if a man was wearing pink. The man makes the clothes, not the other way around.

Seconding this.
