Meh. Pink is pink. To me attractiveness is more dependent on whether his clothes match and are appropriate for the scenario than it is dependent on the color.
My brother is stubborn and refuses to go shopping for his own clothes. Which I'm fine with, because then I get to pick out whatever I want for him when I go shopping for myself. (He pays me back for the clothes. He just doesn't want to go to the store for them and try things on.) I like playing around with different clothing styles. Picking his outfits lets me play around with guy's clothes too.
Anyway, a lot of his clothes are pink. At first no other guy at our school wore pink. So people would actually point it out, and if people didn't know who he was, people would just say the blonde one with the pink shorts (he had pink shirts too, and eventually pink shoes and belts and stuff, but the shorts were more immediately noticeable). But my brother is cool enough to pull it off. And the girls loved it. So a bunch of other guys started copying him. And my brother won the superlative for best dressed at his high school.
Pink is a known golf course color for men, but in general it's seen as a girl's color. It also has gay connotations. I'm sure your guy is reacting to all these overtones. You'll never sway him if these are concerns of his. Personally, I don't like pink myself because it's always been a "girly girl" color. Giggly, silly, over-feminine. I feel what he's worried about as I don't see myself as giggly, silly, over-feminine and don't want to present myself as such. There are pink tones, such a mauve, which are in essence neutral colors. Ask him about those.
I don't get the aversion guys have to the color pink. Until 100 years ago pink was a guy's color and blue was a girl's color. It just seems odd to me cause it's so arbitrary. Like... it's a frequency of light for crying out loud and we're going to pretend it defines your masculinity? That's just dumb. I like the color pink. I don't have any pink shirts but If I did I'd probably wear them fairly often. I mean... purple is my favorite color followed by deep blue, but eh, pink's cool enough.
But yeah, there's nothing gay about the color pink except that I think most gay guys are confident enough in their masculinity that they're comfortable wearing it... that or maybe it's just as a "fuck off" to people who say pink is girly along with "guys must only like girls." I dunno, either way... I'm a straight white male who likes the color pink just fine but believes purple to be the superior color x3
A man wears pink😂. Guys don't wear pink. The color pink is like trained into us before as being just a girly color (was bullied in elementary school by the other boys who didn't wear it). But, now that I'm all grown up, pink is like telling girls that I have a sensitive side. I'm a man who would drop his ego just for his girl😂. I go from mean, possessive momma bear for guys going near my girl to teddy bear for my girl😂. Pink is a way to express himself in a different light than just being masculine. It could even be a way to show that you are more manly than most. Plus pink is lighter on the eyes

yay. Pink is just a color. If a guy can pull it off, good for him!
Pink is forced on all of us as a 'girls' color. My Little Ponies, Barbie, they're surrounded by pink. Even GAG has blue for guys and pink for women. I was getting fitted for a suit, and my wife was looking at a poster of a guy wearing pink. She told me he looks really good. I said, "He's wearing pink. Maybe in New York City you could do that, but NO guy in this area wears pink." The only kind of guy who could pull off the 'pink' look would be a young fit handsome hunk who's really up to date on fashion.
I think it's just a tainted view society puts into our heads. We don't associate most things as being negative unless we have learned from someone else that that's the way we should perceive it. I personally find it sexy if I guy wears pink and can rock it. My husband won't wear straight pink but he will wear something with pink in it as long as I like it. He will only wear clothes that are comfy to him and then if I like it on him and it passes the comfy test then he will wear it if I lay it out for him after his shower.
It's a very classic color for men to wear in the Anglo-American tradition, specifically with shirts.
Like if you're wearing shirts with a suits, it's the #3 color behind white and blue. It's definitely the easiest color to wear of the non white/blue. Men's suits tend to be grey, blue and occasionally browns, and pink works with all of those more easily then any other non white/blue color.
Anyway in general pink just goes really, really well with navy. It (and other pastels) have always been a core part of the kind of east coast 'prep' or upper class English palette.
I also have a pink sweater I wear sometimes. It's not salmon at all … more like a hibiscus pink.
Yeah. That's "the gay" factor, because they're the ones that "own it" comfortably. But since the 80s or so, the "metrosexual" & hyper-masculine types have made in-roads wearing *DISTINCTLY NOT-PINK* "Salmon"...😉🤣
Personally, it's hard to pull off pink "comfortably"; whether it's the redneck talkin' out the side of his neck, having to explain to other gay people that, no, really, you're just not gay, or the sheer number of times women look at you too many times in a day with the "shucks, too bad he's gay" looks... there's just no upside to wearing it unless you're doing casual... around the pool, out at sea... whatever. Just don't go into town like that.
(Pretty much the baseline for cross-dressers, right there, the color pink)
[*pssst* if it disturbs you psychologically to think of it so narrowly defined, you can always see it like someone else's floral arrangement.]😉
Before the 1940's pink wasn't a feminine color and blue wasn't a masculine color. In fact it was the other way around. Granted the blue women wore were more sky blue but pink is a lighter shade of red and red was considered the manliest color back in those times. So, if someone wore pink it was considered a masculine color. In the 1920's pink was described by several to be manly, but through the 30's and then the 40's stores have noticed that more and more people started buying pink for girls and blue for boys and once the 40's came around pink for girls and blue for boys eventually became the accepted norm so they started to market those colors to those sexes. Despite the fact that they are just colors and technically aren't feminine or masculine. They only become feminine or masculine after we assign such meaning to them.
My favorite shirt is pink. I got it for only $2 and like combining with jeans and flip-flops. I'm aware that it has a feminine or possibly gay connotation, but that might be why I like it. I don't care much about the feminine thing and I'm completely straight, plus I like standing out in a crowd. :-D
Actually, some men famous for wearing pink are actually quite awesome.
This trilogy movie of its own actually broke box-office records across Asia.
I have nothing against a guy wearing pink in theory but for some reason pink shirts on men bug me. I mean I don't even like to wear pink so I don't know. There is no logical reason why I don't like it.
If he wants. Wusses let colors dictate their confidence in being a man or woman.
Colors are self imposed things that people decided. If 2000 years ago, people considered green to be feminine, men today may avoid green a lot.
Men can wear pink. Women can wear blue. Has nothing to do with your sexuality.
If a guy is secure about his masculinity, any color or implication of colors should not be an issue to him.
I buy pink shirts for my guy because it also looks good on him. He's never made a fuss whatsoever about the color. He says "Thanks!" and puts them on for a round of golf.
I'm partially colorblind, some dark colors I just don't see, some light/pastel colors i don't see. Pink is one of my favorite colors because, when it's hot pink, I can clearly see it. So, I like pink, I wear pink, and it's generally a bright pink. It's a casual look, and it's personal preference.
Well back in the day wrestlers would wear pink so the fans would boo them because they were bad guys and the fans would chant faggot faggot now I don't know if that would work since a lot of people support LGBT so men wearing pink is meaningless these days.
Probably because he'll be seen as gay or less masculine. If he didn't like the color then he would probably just say that, not make an excuse about how he is a man and therefore can't wear pink.
Personally I am fine wearing pink, but people also assume I'm gay all the time. I just dont care if people think I'm gay, I got used to it, and even though I'm straight, it usually doesn't bother me.
Generally I don't think pink deserves to be associated with being gay, it's just a color and just as it is with most colors - some looks good in it and some don't, some like it and some don't, some clothes look good being pink and some don't.
I hate it when people associate colors with gender! Pink is just fine for men and blue is just right for girl babies, too. Let's end the silliness of traditional dumb stuff! :)
Yay. Anyone who says that it’s girly/feminine adheres to a toxic mindset that currently plagues men. How is a color deemed effeminate or masculine? It’s nonsensical and has nothing to do with if a man is masculine or gay.
I usually ger attracted with those man in pink.. So it's a big YES for me!😍 they look clean in pink.. It's not supposed to be look like a gay but it's actually showing masculinity..😊❤❤
Yay! It´s just a color - a preppy feminine color that is, but who cares! If it goes along with my outfit. Great! If not... Not so great.
It just depends on the whole outfit I think.
The situation was opposite tens years ago. People thought girls should wear blue because it seemed tender and calm, while guys should wear pink because it seemed strong and passionate. It's only stereotype that guys in pink is connected to gay. Guys can wear pink freely, if he wants to.
