Pink t-shirts on blokes... wrong or what?

I like them..
but they only suit a certain type..
Can't be really skinny or it just looks stupid

Usually only suit good looking boys :rolleyes:

It's an opinion ffs. Some people think combats are naf, some people think flares are naf, some people think goth gear is naf, some people think pink tshirts look a wee bit gay on blokes (as macy said it aint gay bashing, its just that pink shirts looks a bit gay in some peoples opinions)

all this talk on it though, id nearly go out and buy one myself for the craic ;) !!!

Actually, I'm just after remembering that I used to have a pink(ish) Nirvana tshirt when I was 16 :o

I must've been going through a bit of a ahem confused phase around then :D

It's just an opinion on pink t shirts. I don't see why anyone would take offence really.

It doesn't have a voice or a political opinion.....We take offence to what it represents or it's associated with

ah but thats where the lines cross, you wear something as its something you are represented by or you are representing something by, therefore it does associate in general with a voice or a political opinion, as you are representing a following with a political opinion.

Only metrosexuals think its cool to be metro ... everyone else knows its quite
gay. Being "metro" is just trying to cover up the fact that they're queer as a bottle of chips (i.m.o.)

im not slagging off people who wear them, just wondering why all of a sudden they've become popular, i wouldnt take any offence over people wearing them, wear what ya like ..... for the record, i dont think anyone who wears them is gay, though it seems that wearing pink over here does make you popular with the ladies..... :(

You cant include me in that statement, thanks :rolleyes: , I totally disagree with you.

And again, I think your missing the point of the whole metrosexual thing.
The point is its a term for guys who are confident with their sexuality, so much so that they realise wearing pink wont make them gay :rolleyes:

Its you opinion, I just dont agree, but then I dont mind fellas wearing pink T-shirts :D

Metrosexual is just a marketing gimic to get blokes to buy cosmetics and other products that they wouldn't normally have bothered with. Growth has peaked with women, so now the companies have to target men.

Pink t shirts doesn't make anyone gay, just makes them look it, imo. Saying someone looks gay isn't an insult - and if the "metrosexuals" take it as one, maybe they're not so confident about their sexuality as they like to make out.

Don't think it's the t-shirts specifically. It takes confidence to wear certain outfits. If someone looks confident, then often others will find that attractive. This is also true for women.

Definetely wrong, I dont see the point in it really(it doesn't suit guys like). I was at a comedian a few weeks back and my friend was wearing a pink t-shirt, the comedian made a joke about how he was brave wearing a shirt like that :D .

Spot on. And it's the same with the "men's" magazines, such as FHM, Maxim and their like. They sell themselves as lads magazines, but just look at the advertising that goes into them, the various articles about personal grooming and the pages dedicated to cosmetics and fashion.
The woman's market is saturated and now blokes are seen as a prime target, regardless of sexuality.

As for this stupid mohican hairstyle, both girlies and lads can be seen with it. :mad:

I know a few women who would disagree with that one. As Eire06 said, its like any item of clothing, certain colours/styles etc do not suit certain guys with certain build/colouring etc.
However, Ive seen some fit blokes wearing pink and it looked good. All depends on the individual :)

But were you interested in the individual? If so, why didn't you approach him, or was he with his (male) partner at the time? :D

I think they look deadly, baby pink and baby yellow tshirts and they get you noticed alot quicker too!they're not just for blondish fellas pauro, they look great on brown haired fellas too!
Thumbs up from me

I said I saw some fit blokes, yes I was more interested in the individual than his shirt :rolleyes: , I assumed they were not gay, but I dont approach fellas anyway, so its not an issue. :) I was merely pointing out guys can look nice in pink.

Living in Brighton, I knew alot of gay men who would not be seen dead in pink, in much the same way alot of straight men would :)

Actually he was a quality act Peadar, the joke was made just as he came on the stage, it wasn't the main part of his act :rolleyes: :D

Old enough, thank you. And old enough to know a pink shirt doesn't look quite right on almost all fellas.
What is happening to the younger male generation???!!! :eek:

I thought I was getting stick!
Orlaith on Big Brother asked Anthony if he and Craig were an item.
He replied, “Don’t say things like that. Look, just because I’ve got a sun tan, like to wear pink, I’m a hairdresser and a dancer, it doesn’t mean I’m gay…”

Poor chap. :D

Zing! :D

Been a fan of pink for a good while now, regularly wear pink shirts and ties to work (never together though-too much). Always like to stay ahead of the posse tho so I'll probably stop wearin in the next month or two, just bought myself a Miami Vice style white blazer so that should do me for a few months.

its not natural and totally wrong.

pink shirts should go also this chicken run hair cut thats in fasion should get the door too . wearing wristbands because of the colour not to support a charity

---

agree with that.

i hate these blazers. wearing blazers to a club is for total knob-ends

Its just one of those things,"metrosexual" is just a buzzword that makes some fellas feel like the only way women will be interested in them is if they show their softer side by wearing pink,cuddling teddy bears,listening to westlife records,watching chick flicks etc.Its a media fabrication,think someones having a laugh at your expense,sitting around saying "Hey look,I told these blokes that pink is 'in' and they're actually wearing it!HAHA,god they're such sheep when it comes to fashion."

Look there's nothing wrong with being gay,but pink is a female colour.theres just somethings (straight) blokes dont do,not a big deal but just basic facts-

1)Dont wear high heals

2)Dont wear dresses/skirts

3)Dont wear make up

4)Dont wear pink

Simple!

P.S. Don't shoot the messanger! "You guys" :)

It's only a colour on a garment, ffs. :rolleyes:

You really need to get over the whole gay thing.
Men spent decades not taking care of their health and looks for fear people like you would accuse them of being gay.
The metrosexual male is here so get used to it.

---

Eh...no I don't go around accusing guys who 'choose ' to wear pink t-shirts etc gay. To me, they look gay, but more importantly i don't think it suits guys, because personally i don't like the colour itself, so for me it is personal preference. Don't know why you say i need to get over the whole gay thing, I don't know what you mean Peadar, i am not homophobic if that is what u mean. Yes, i don't like this metrosexual look, it is revolting. Guys can look after themselves without looking like fairies. What were men doing for decades that was so unhealthy for them? smoking drinking, are they not still doing that now? For me, there is nothing worse than a sunbedded guy with plucked eyebrows and tight pink t-shirt and jeans hanging half-way down his arse FFS! Has someone slagged you about a pink t-shirt peadar, has a raw nerve been tweaked there???? :D heh heh.......... The metrosexual guy might be here, well good for him :rolleyes:

I'm sorry but a man wearing a pink shirt or top does NOT make him Gay...
My boyfriend is wearing a lovely pink shirt to work today and he is far from Gay and doesn't look gay... :mad:

It a fashon trend at the moment and I do think it looks class on a lot of fellas... :cool:

'My boyfriend is wearing a lovely pink shirt to work today and he is far from Gay and doesn't look gay...'

So we're presuming you're female then? :D

Pink shirts are ok, pale pink are nice, it is just the tight pink t-shirts that are a bit iffy. ;)

i customize my pink t shirt with a pink wrisband i have. im not gay but i like pink. nothing wrong with that.
