Never ever wear pink shirts.  Or anything pink, for that matter.  A pink shirt will cancel out all efforts a man has made to be a real man.  He can be doing everything right, but it will all be for naught when he pulls that pink polo over his head.

The driving force behind men wearing pink is definitely the influence of women.  They think men look “cute” in it.  A common argument among pink-clothed men is that women find it attractive, so it’s ok.  That couldn’t be more wrong–not that women may like it–but that it’s ok to wear it because of it.  It’s not.  If women thought it was cute for men to file their finger nails, cut off their biceps, and not watch sports, would it be ok for men to follow suit?  No way.

Pink is inherently effeminate.  It would be offensive for someone to show up to a baby shower with pink balloons if the mother was having a boy, and they knew about it.  Furthermore, would it be offensive if a mother dressed her baby boy in a pink outfit and people mistook him for a baby girl?  Probably not, he’s dressed in girl colors.  But if an adult man is dressed in pink, and someone calls him a girl, it’s offensive.

Yet to come is a football team, or any men’s atheletic team, that dons pink uniforms.  Why?  For one, they’d get laughed off the field.  Two, pink can have negative affects on what men stand for.  A few facts about the color belonging to men’s opposites (women):

Pink is usually associated with love and romance.

One psychological affect of pink is that it relaxes muscles (not manly).

Sports teams sometimes paint the opposing teams locker room pink to keep the players passive.

Men need to wear colors that represent what they stand for.  They don’t stand for dressing like Paris Hilton, eating conversation hearts, or celebrating Valentines Day.  They stand for eating jerky.  They stand for herding cattle.  They stand for fixing toilets.

    So….first off, this has to be one of my favorite blogs!! Second, I think I might have pulled the “guys look good in pink” line before. Third, I have since changed my ways, and now make fun of guys wearing pink.

    I think you should rename this blog: How to be a Douchebag. :D

  3. They stand for eating jerky. They stand for herding cattle. They stand for fixing toilets.

    Do ALL men want to eat jerky and fix toilets? Who would have painted Monalisa then? Or created soul soothing music? Or created clothes, cuisines, perfumes and dances?

    I would say real men should just be themselves :)
