I have come into work in a bright pink T-shirt. The lads in the warehouse all say I look gay. I thought that the asscoiation between pink and femininity/effeminacy was long gone. Are they living in the Dark Ages or am I being naive?
-
You're being naive
-
I don't want to sound like I'm stereotyping, but the lads who work in our warehouse would probably say exactly the same thing judging by the banter I normally hear coming from there. What I'm trying to say (without inadvertently calling everyone who works in a warehouse as a neanderthal!) is that traditional, 'blokey', beer-swilling, dart-throwing blokes might still think pink is 'a bit gay', but a lot of men are perfectly happy to wear pink and don't associate it with effeminacy.
We're all happy for you to stay pink Bounty!
-
That's exactly how I would describe our blokes here. Thanks for the support Smurfboy.
-
Smurfboy expressed it much better than I did. I only meant that you were being naive if you expected joe public to share your much more enlightened views. And if you're going to wear pink (and why not indeed) definitely go for the bright variety, not that apologetic 'barely there' pink!
-
Oh this bright!!!!!
-
My dad always told me never to trust a man who wears pink, lilac or lemon.
-
Yes, and I'm sure that at the time that was sound information given in good faith. But we've moved on and I know I'm comfortable with my sexuality and if someone thinks I'm gay cos i'm wearing a pink T-shirt that's their problem.
-
Men in pink? It's a generational thing. Older people are more likely to equate pink with effeminateness. Personally, I don't like to see men in pink, not because I think it looks gay, but because it's just ingrained in my culture - like i don't like to see older women dressed up too young.
Anyway, what's wrong with being gay??
-
Women are soft and fluffy and smell of roses. Men are hairy and tough with willys. That's what's wrong with being gay.
It should be men and women together. Except for lesbians like Tatu - that's OK.
-
Sorry if that sounds sexist. i just tell it like it is.
-
What about a man wearing a pink t shirt with"I AM NOT GAY JUST COS I LIKE THIS COLOUR" printed on the front. Would that work?
-
I just don't get this colour gender/thing? Is a Blackburnian Warbler poofy cos it's orange? See below:
Who says pink is for girls?

-
Orange is a unisex colour. Come on bounty, everyone knows that.
-
bounty just wondering do you have black satin sheets on your bed?
-
and do you have any pastel colour pringle jumpers?
-
No and no.
-
This is the colour of my T-shirt.

-
I don't think pink on a man is wrong but I think there are opinions attached to it like what has been disgusted.
My boyfriend wouldn't wear pink, I know that for sure!
-
Has it been disgusted? I didn't realise.
-
There's nothing wrong with being gay, but if you're not gay you probably don't want people to think you are.
-
I have spelt that wrong haven't I?
Try discussed?
-
-
Bounty that was a lovely pink. Are you dark skinned cos that wouldn't suit you if you are pale.
-
Yes, I am quite dark for a 'white man'.
-
Yeah I can imagine that looking quite good...
-
..........on a woman.
-
-
-
Or a little girl.........
-
-
-
-
or my nana.
-

-
did anyone see the pink poodle on coronation street the other night?
-
Yep. how lovely. Bounty - Barbara Cartland wore a lot of that colour pink. Are you related?
-
-
That pink poodle the other day on Corrie was a great comedy moment! I think thats what makes Corrie better at the moment.
-
Men are hairy and tough with willys.
I have NEVER been tough with my willy! It would hurt too much. Besides, he is my best friend!
-
Awww
-
Not all men are hairy .
choc chick do you think the owner of the pink poodle had a bit of a thing for young Kirk?
-
I think so....especially after the recent belly dancing!
-
This is the colour of my T-shirt.

R u gay or somthing???? y wud u wear that!!!!??????
-
He is in touch with his feminine side.
Me, I can't stop touching mine!
-
I think the word is metrosexual. I am in to metrosexual men but still wouldn't entertain a man in a pink shirt.
-
I wont wear it for you Loulou, it will be black or khaki.
-
Men in khaki are very sexy! I go for that look!
-
I once entertained a man in a pink shirt. I was wearing it at an open mike comedy night.
-
I have a tight khaki T-shirt and I have muscular arms. It makes my girlfriend swoon!
-
My hubbie loves my bum. In any colour.
-
CHOCOLATE!?
-
I doubt that Oldspice has a chocolate bum.
-
Well someone did give us a jar of chocolate body paint ..........
-
I like men in navy blue.
-
Today, I am wearing navy blue combats, a navy blue T-shirt and a darker navy rugby shirt with a white collar. 
-
Honest
-
Yum.
-
-
I'm wearing pink today, but it's a very dark pink; almost a pale maroon.
-
I get slated at work for wearing anything other than black or navy. I normally get away with red and I don't like green anaway. But peach, pink, maroon, magenta or coral are all considered gay by the lumpen workers.
-
I like a man in a baby blue top, yum!
-
I tend to wear pretty plain stuff to work - if I buy something nice and wear it to work, it doesn't feel special anymore.
-
Theres no dress code where I work so I go to work most days in jeans and a top!
-
Same here - in fact if your clothes are clean and ironed you are considered smart!
-
He he same here!
-
Most days i am dressed head to toe in black or navy. Recently i have started to wear a touch of green.When the summer comes i like pinks and pale blues.
-
My pink g-string doesn't stay pink for long...............
-
Hoo, i like pink shoes if when is specially pointing toes
-
I bought some pink boots...big mistake .
-
I've just noticed I've gone through 1,000 posts.
I'm not having that Louise, how can you buy pink boots by mistake???
-
I have a friend who is obsessed with pink boots. She is very much a 'girlie girl' and if I go shopping with her, she invariably squeals with delight at the sight of a pair, and I have to remind her she already has 32 pairs exactly the same.
-
I like girly girls.
-
Ooo pink boots, think I would squeal at that too! I think I am a girly girl. Anything thats pink and fluffy makes me a happier person
-
Yes you are I can tell
-
Visit www.girlsstuff.co.uk Choc Chick - it is crammed with pink and fluffy stuff and they have some new stuff arriving any day now.
-
Wow that website is well cool!
-
I find if I wear pink or red boots people always make a comment. They say things like "ooh look at those pink boots you have on" as if i will look down and say "how did that happen" or "where did they come from"
-
Today I have on a baby pink jumper and black trousers
-
I have a pink flower in my hair, pink nails ( toes and fingers) and pink grundies on)
Im a pink lover.
-
grundies?
-
got pink nails too...
-
Re 'grundies' do you perhaps move the first two letters to get the answer? Or am I completely on the wrong track
-
I meant remove not move
-
Re 'grundies' do you perhaps move the first two letters to get the answer? Or am I completely on the wrong track
Indeed you are correct. Grundies (as in Reg Grundy, the Australian TV producer) are underwear.
-
-
suppose they should only be grundies when they are all old and grey, but the word rocks.
-
It does, I like it
