Attraction is the first step though...always is...once you get a girl attracted to you it's harder to fail.

If you think its the shirt the girls are either stupid or your not giving yourself the credit for some reason.

I wear pink shirts. I also wear blue shirts. I wear black shirts. I wear plaid shirts. I wear white shirts.

It's a colour. It's a colour. If a colour bothers you you're a moron.

Colours don't bother me, just having a little fun, tbh I think the moron is the fella who gets upset because someone has a laugh (not even at any individuals expense in this case).

By immature old fashioned people..ironic it sounds I know. But seriously there's nothing wrong with pink. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't be caught dead in pink pants, socks, jumpers or shoes but a shirt and tshirt yeah no problem. Even once upon a time I'd pink jocks which were just for a laugh.

And hey the pink shirt attracts the pink p*ssy :cool:

Thats just vulgar.

Whats wrong with pink socks? I may be a bit immature but I'm young, I think thats the point.

Pink is a great versatile colour like purple and blue for shirts - green is a much harder colour to wear.

Slacks are usually a conservative colour - who wears blue/yellow/pink slacks (except Bertie)

Bet very few took the piss out of this guy or his mates, for wearing pink.

In fairness, I don't think ANYONE driving around in a pink car can be taken seriously.

There are exceptions, one of the local pornstars here, sexy cora, drove around in a pink lamborghini.

Although she later died from one breast implant OP too many.

I think pink is a great colour on men. Takes a certain confidence to carry it off, yummy.

Although they'll they and convince you that once a man wears it, it stops being pink and starts being "salmon"... Lying lenders :pac:

It still is a man's colour in various Western countries. For example, the branch colour (Waffenfarbe) of the German tank troops is (and was in WWII) pink.

NTM

Cool uniform in fairness!

The King wore pink and he had pink Cadillacs. The classic pink jacket and black shirt was his favourite rig-out for years. That changed after his stint in the US Army to pink shirt and black suits until he entered his karate suit and white and gold bell-bottoms Las Vegas phase, He looked best in black and pink though. Argue with me that Elvis wasn't The Man.

I guess it is more acceptble for men to wear pink now more than ever with pink shirts and ties being in fashion!

Ah there not really in fashion though, a few men wear them, but their the kind of guys that use the phrase 'gender neutral' as demonstrated above, no dice.

It's not pink, it's salmon.

God no, some fat guy in a pink shirt couldn't pull for sh*t but it just goes well on me and it aids with my physical appearance...just saying what works for me buddy. Pink socks just don't look good. And hey I'm only 18 but if you can't see the positive sides of wearing pink then hell...

The Pink Panther Land Rovers are desert patrol vehicles used by the SAS. As you can see they really are pink.

Like pink for girls and blue for guys?
Why can't a man drive around in a pink car and be taken seriously?

From a BBC-doc I saw.
Red as the colour of blood and therefore was the colour for a male warrier.
Pink as a ligher shade of red or weaker-blood was seen as the colour for a male-child, not mature/old enough to be warrior.
Blue was the colour for females from the days of the virgin-Mary, purity stuff.
How it changed, I've no idea, but in the doc. they wanted to test was it due to society programming, so they experimented with different colour toys on baby gorillas, the female baby gorillas picked the pink toys to play with.

Berries, women are attracted to bright colours from hunting berries. However in our crazy mixed up Western world, women wear the fancy bright clothes, because that's what we supposedly like. Whereas men in other cultures wear the fancy feathery stuff, coz chicks dig it.
Chicks here dig shabby grey tracksuits.

That's interesting why did they change that to suit the gender then back in those days?

Pink is a nice colour! Probably that is why! I like pink and most pinks and other colours like black, purples, grey and reds but my favourite colour is blue and most blues and I am a girl!!:)

Interesting facts all the same.

It shouldn't matter what colours males/females wear!? Maybe as babies you conform to one specific colour and colours that suit them but as they grow older they have their tastes and likes and favourite colours and colours that suit them and they stick with that!?

Ya that explains probably the whole pink/blue conformity.

Should it really matter what colours men and women wear like though? Some have a sense of style/colour more than others I suppose.

Certain colours suit certain people not every colour suits everyone whether it pink or blue!

Why is Pink a girls colour?
