Why Is Pink For Girls?
 

Why is pink concidered a colour for girls?

Can anybody explain why society looks funnily at a guy wearing loads of pink and doesn't bat an eyelid if a girl was to wear it?

confusion ¬_¬

Yo! Think Pink! :D
In N.Y. a lot of men...yes straight guys, too, wear Brooks Brothers ,
and Polo pink shirts :D :up:

Pink is feminine. You know this.

And pink is also "Old School" Ivy!
for men...Or sometimes called "preppy-pink":D

looks great on blonds, and light haired guys...or silver with tan!

Pink is considered feminine because society has said that pink is delicate and dainty like girls, and blue is more masculine and tough. I love blue, jeans shirts, sweaters, blue owns, but pink is just fruitty.

Also "Preppy handbook":D

no pink for me thanks. but i always wear black so i don't count

Pink is definitely feminine as are all pastels(well, then there's hot pink, but that's even worse).

In ancient times, it was believed that certain colours could combat the evil spirits that lingered over nurseries. Because blue was associated with the heavenly spirits, boys were clothed in that colour, boys then being considered the most valuable resource to parents. Although baby girls did not have a colour associated with them, they were mostly clothed in black. It was only in the Middle Ages when pink became associated with baby girls.

Ralph Lauren..oh, FOR MEN! :D

I don't like the color pink...reminds me of fashion..and all the mean snobby people out there that don't like me.

I like ya' and I'm a snob!:D

I have been tramuatized by the huge amount of pink clothing that has been manufactured for little girls. Pink is not cool.

I wear pretty pink panties when I feel sexy.

I'm happy for you, really am.

No, I'm not, that has to be the most disturbing mental picture that has popped into my mind to date. Gee, thanks Germ :p

Why am I not suprised?
Pink = female, fruit or guy that was forced into wearing it by some chick.

Probably because it's not girls but gay people that come into mind first when I think about pink clothing. And they love it.....because it makes them look like girls. :p

PS: Have to admit UpperKEES likes Widdy's Upper Class, All Ivy kinda' Thing!

Y'all have let loose the shopping monster, good luck reigning her in:D

Ah Widdy, you know Ivy League = Gay. All those years at "Boys only" schools...no wonder why they like pink. ;)

It is in nature to adapt to one's surroundings.

NOT TRUE, NOT TRUE AT ALL!!:D :D

I'm out two, though I dont object to some red breifs... ..they cast more complimentary shadow... ..if you get what I mean...

O.O oh, my!

\m/Pink is PuNk!\m/ :D

*coughs*
*sulks away*

WELL...Here's what I think about all this pink *see attachment*

I wore a pink vest to prom my junior year. I wanetd to match my date's dress. I didn't care. I was secure in my sexuality enough, plus, we looked damn good togetehr ;)

Yep!:up:

real story why guys got blue and girls got pink..

boys where covered in blue because they where considered to come of heaven, aka the sky

girls where given pink because they came from the earth
aka earthy tone like pink

it was a way to protect the children using their place of origin colors in a way.

as far as pink, both men and femes can wear it, just look at past stiles, its really all about culture and the times, a few years from now pink will be in for men again, and blue has always been available to girls thank goodness ;) :)

Also this color things is mainly a USA things ( but I could be wrong) cause other countries could care less about pink and blue with gender.
its all about how u carry yourself

Widdy you must come shopping with me ;oP

....nobody liked my ralph lauren add I posted....I worked so hard on it too! =(

Thanks dlink, it's nice to see you are not one of these people that say, pink is for girls, er... because it is.

:p :)

My pleasure!:D

@ teh Nightwing, model isn't wearing Ralph Lauren. He is
wearing Thomas Pink!:D Great gay bashing, though:rolleyes:

pps. I love that shirt on any man!

Ahh, but one must remember Robert Redford in "The Great Gatsby". His confidence made the pastels work for him :D

All the Power guys in N.Y. wear that "Power Pink" shirt
by Brooks. Blonds look snap-pay in certain pinks. (Pastels)
black haired and dark brown wear Thomas Pink type shirts
(the pink with undertones of blue). :D

sounds neat. i'll check it out next time i'm at macy's. which is to say, after i get paid ;)

Good for you! With your coloring go for "Blue-ish pink", small print
check, you'd look great!:D
