Why is pink a 'girl' color?
 

The color pink is a nice color. Why is it considered a 'girl' color? Why does this color have a gender? I don't see why any color can be male or female. I'm mind boggled by this. If society wouldn't think it looked girly for a guy to wear pink, I would wear pink.

I wear pink anyway. It's someone elses problem if they dont like it.

Pink is my "funny" color. For example, I'd get a pink phone or a pink DS just to be funny. *shrugs*

I guess I'm just weird.

I think that's why I started wearing pink. 'cause it pisses redneck/macho types off.

I had my hair neon, 80's spandex, pink for a while (this color: http://www.amphigory.com/se_atomic_pink.html).

It was fun. Living in Nebraska I got a lot of "what the hells" and such. Great times.

I dyed my hair pink alot while I was in Texas, Some people gave me weird looks others seemed to think it was the coolest thing on earth.

All colors are assosiated with something...blue with boys, red with anger, etc...

Blue was originally the girls color, and purple was girls. Im not sure why it changed though.

Really, like how long ago?

Exactly. Hence the pink jacket I occationally wear to the mall. :D :D

and my pink DS stylus. I wish there was a pink DS Lite.

I wear pink all the time. F*ck what other people think. Who the hell are they to me and why should I care?

I once wore a pink bandana to piss off Raph...:P

Nah, seriously. I prefer not to wear pink because I feel I'd look weird. As for it being a girl's color, ask yourself this:

If it doesn't matter if you're black or white, why should it matter if you wear pink or purple?

Erase the color line. :)

halalluah 'brotha! Spread the good word. Pepto Bismo for the win.

At least in Germany pink is a very fashionable colour right now, everyone wears it, especially the cool population.

Oh and for the heck of it:

Pink it´s my new obsession
Pink it´s not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, ´cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink ´cause you are so very
Pink it´s the color of passion
`Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight, yea
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
´Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It´s kink - but you don´t ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it´s like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

:P

Pink!?

*SHUDDER*


You wouldn't catch me dead in that.....Now, GREEN is a horse of a diffrent color all together..... :P

From the Wikipedia:

The color of pink, is now associated with womanhood, just like blue is associated with boys and manhood, although in 1918 "Infant's Department" (an industry publication) said the reverse was the "generally accepted rule", describing pink as "more decided and stronger" while blue was "more delicate and dainty"". Pink continued to be used for both boys' and girls' clothing through the early 1960s, though associated more and more with femininity.

The color pink also has an association with female genitalia. Used as a slang term to refer to female genitalia.

Huh? With female gen..... That would be like the color brown with an association with crap. I know your just reporting your finds though.

I only wear black so any color but that on me is out of place. But I know people who wear pink. My girlfriend doesn't like pink that much so it shows ya right there it isn't really a girls color either.
