Poll question: Should men wear pink?
Men who wear pink have a "look at me thumbing me nose up at convention" thing that's kind of attractive. Plus, pink can be a very flattering color in the right shade.

1. No shame in a man wearing pink
You just have to know how to pull it off.

4. Yes, but...
...only if they have the coloring for it. Men with sallow complexions, green eyes, and brassy red hair should probably stick with the earth tones.

6. I had an older supervisor that would really rag your ass for wearing pink
One day I came in with a pinkish shirt and he started in...I looked him in the eye and said, "Bill, its not pink. It's peach"...He was so stunned that I would admit to wearing "peach" that he shut up and never said another word on the subject.

Admittedly, he thought I was weird, but he also did before the "peach" shirt episode.

Pink works well with sales to women
I like it for shirts but not much else in clothing. 50's cars look good in pink. Some houses can pull it off.

9. Just be thankful
you're not female. We get drowned in pink.

Clothes, bookbag, shoes, bedspreads...

Even toy motorcycles are .....pink.

Ridiculous.

I have come to hate pink over the years, and really, it's only just a color.

So guess how I voted!

12. Men look fantastic in pink.
It shows they have a softer side which is very attractive to me!

13. No, but women shouldn't either
I'm just not a pink type of guy. I like black and red for some reason, and of course blue.

17. Pink what
it all depends on the article of clothing. Pink shirts or ties are fine, but pink pants :eyes:

18. Never. Absolutely never. Everyone who disagrees is wrong.
The very best a guy can do wearing pink is looking like a preppy dickhead.

Perhaps a little pink in a necktie, but that's really it.

22. I wish I had a pic of myself from last weekend.
I am a blue shirt kind of guy and I thought the pink thing was rather silly, but last weekend I decided to give it a shot and see how it worked.

It looked very good on me and I got more then a few complements on it. In fact it worked so well that I am going to be trying out purple soon.

Pink is the new blue, but soon enough purple will be the new pink.

23. Like other colors, in moderation
I was at the fair last weekend and I saw this character in a baby pink and white running outfit. It was moderation gone bad.
