That would be telling.....
Actually I meant both that I know/knew a guy that wore pink, but sadly wasn't gay and that I've seen guys wear pink and/or scrafs who really shouldn't wear those.

Also, of all the women I've been attracted to so far, not one of them ever wore pink...

Bollocks. In Europe, for example red/pink were the male colours for centuries. Red/ purple was the colour of emperors and other influential men. Red was associated with heat, blood, aggression, the sun, and attracting attention. Plus the dye was extremely expensive to produce. Pink was considered the "little red" ie for boys. Blue, on the other hand, was seen as passive and associated with the night, the moon, and thus as female. That only changed in the early 20th century.
Keep on believing.

Thanks for corroborating my stance that pink is a feminine colour.

Or do you know a lot of males that like to be viewed as 'little boys'?

Many men who wear pink are homosexual.

Those that are not, tend to be tough enough to wear this colour as a badge of masculinity, a kind of satire.

That's me, mate. I'm so fucking masculine that I can pull chicks wearing a pink dress and flowery hat. I'll prove it:

You know what I mean, so why pretend otherwise?

I suspect that, like most else this poster posts, it comes out of an arse, probably belonging to the OP.

Yes. Citations, please. By no means do I agree with everything Freud said, but I weary of people bashing him without actually reading a word of what he wrote.

Bollox. Pink shirts are very in at the moment. Although they call them 'salmon'.

Looks alright with a suit (though I wear blue to go with my eyes) but not great on their own if you're fair. Black hairs can pull it off though.

Freud thought too much about sex according to "A Dangerous Method" but I haven't read much of his so will reserve judgement.

Yeah, couldn't possibly be because they think it looks good on them. Cuz Freud said, right?

The pink thing for women is pure nonsense. Before the early 20th century, blue used to be colour for girls, and pink for boys. Then some or other royal dressed their boy in blue and all the sheep followed suit and thus the changeover was made.

Of course the Freud thing is a load of BS. Young women today wear mostly black, as far as I know, particularly horrible black stockings. Why? Because some fashion leader announced that wearing white shoes after some or other arbitrary date on the calendar was "common" so the sheep followed suit. Then black became the in thing with vampires, and zombies and metal heads wearing black, and a fashion was born because the sheep will follow.

Generalisations? I suppose so.

Men in Africa wear any colour they like, including pink, cerise, purple and other shades between red and blue. Why? Because Africans don't care about what the sheep in Europe say about what they should be wearing.

Old people live by the sea because it's peaceful to sit on your porch and stare at rolling waves, especially if you occasionally see a whale go by.

Women don't curl their hair anymore. They let it dry naturally. Of course some old women still put rollers in their hair, but they do that not because men tell them to do it, but because some fashion leader 50 years ago dictated that women shouldn't leave home without "done" hair and makeup. It's nothing to do with Freudian sex.

I'm not going to comment on big cars and small penises because I get into trouble about that, so I'll shut up.

I thought Freud was out of fashion?

Not so much out of fashion as superseded by scientists who are better than he was. Most of what he imagined was simply wrong.

Not that he didn't help the process along, just like the scientists who hypothesised phlogiston, they were wrong but their wrong helped move us all forward in our understanding once others figured out just how they were wrong.

Not so much out of fashion as an historical footnote. I don't know if he was ever in fashion -- did he wear pink?

That would be mighty arrogant if you were to do so.

It's not an explanation if it cannot be supported by evidence. In that case, it's just some bullshit some cunt made up, and some other people chose to believe because it sounded good to them, and fit with their prejudices.

And hells yes, I'm better than all those fucks - I'm at least as intelligent, and have access to something rapidly approaching ten billion times the knowledge any one of the cunts had, which makes me better placed to assess the produycts of their necessarily-curtailed educations.

You've got access to the same information, so I've no idea why you think they were right.

I found Nietzsche quite instructive actually.

But I agree all this is bollocks.

Freud did something very retarded and unscientific -he posited the mental state of others from his own mental state. Not in itself a necessarily bad started point, but he ENDED there!

Seems like someone bought new socks quickly.

can't believe some posters here are bashing greats such as Nietzsche, Freud and others - what do you lot actually grow up on then?

come on , name some of your heroes and let's see where it takes us

I don't have heroes. People are just people.

Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler are among my favourites. Let's see where that takes you.
