    I myself don’t I’ve tried on a couple of pink t-shirts in shops but really don’t think I can pull off the colour at all. It just seams to look wrong on me.

    Any of you guys own anything pink?

    I have read that at a young age both boys and girls often will pick pink as their favorite colour until the gender associations of colours are learned at which point boys will pick other colours like blue.

    Do you think the colour makes a man seem more effeminate?

    I’m interested in the way people react to different colours , the preconceived ideas around them and how that varies between cultures.

    No don’t have to where a shirt to work (thank god I suck at ironing) although I have before when my x washed a new red top of hers in with all my white shirts.

    She thought it was hilarious laughed about it for weeks. I didn’t find it quite so funny at the time.

    I bought myself a pink t-shirt when I was 15, and wore it into school a few times. Nobody cared. So then I bought an even brighter pink t-shirt. Nobody cared about that either. I wear the colour fairly regularly now, and it's not a big deal.

    What the hell do I have to do for attention?!

    I would say that the older generation wouldn't wear anything pink or most other colours either. They would be the black, white, blue or grey brigade.
    I think pink for males as in jackets and trousers hasn't really caught on yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭The Highwayman


    I did have a bright pink leather tie back in the 80's

    I don't and won't own any pink clothes.

    It's funny seeing Irish young fellas in sunny climates wearing pink tops. Blends in nicely with the sunburn.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭ilovelamp2000


    I don't get why pink is a colour that only women should wear ?

    Surely wearing a pink shirt is a sign that a man has no idea how to put on a wash, and isn't that a sign of manliness ?

    Nope....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,267 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Yes I do.

    I have 3 pink-ish T-shirts. Dont see the big deal in wearing them.

    I dont call them salmon or champagne either though, thats just not right. :eek:

    Yes, a couple of t-shirts. Only men with balls can wear pink clothes.

    Those who are afraid of a colour are just wimps :D
