Wearing Pink Isn't Gay

Ok, this is gay, but for a million reasons besides the pink.

But seriously, there is a big stigma that guys wearing pink are gay and I'm here to shut that down. As a straight male who has some pink in his arsenal, I know I don't pull out the pepto-pink Hurley V-neck when I feel like checking out other guys. Nooo thank you. It's comfy, it fits me pretty much perfectly and I got it for $2!! Not to mention I'll basically wear anything Pac Sun tells me too. #MallRat. I've also grown up with an undeserved sense of entitlement (thank you Ralph for that phrase) that because I play guitar, I DO WHAT I WANT. I've got this "pierce-my-face-ink-my-whole-body-i-dont-give-a-what" attitude and if you don't like, I don't care. Unless you're a female I'm trying to impress, then I probably care. A little.

But lets weight this out.

Here's Drake, multi-million dollar Hip Hop all star from the Young Money crew. He's got more street cred than you'll ever have in your life and no doubt gets girls at the snap of a finger. He's wearing pink, looking fresh to death, and there's not a gay thing about him no matter how much pink he wears. If you wear something like this, girls will think you're attractive and probably compliment you. Drake: NOT GAY.










Listen BRO, don't ever ever EVER do this. Ever. There may be a time where I wore something like this. It was a small window of time, and I deeply apologize. Don't pop the collar on your pink polo. Sadly, girls will still probably like the fact that this guy has the confidence to wear pink. Pink Polo: NOT GAY. Popped Collar: NOT GAY, BUT BRO, WHICH IS WORSE.
(see "Why won't he/she text me back?" blog for more on the infamous Bro)

Some people might consider this shirt "manly". Snooki would probably drool over a guy who looks like this, no matter what his face looks like. Yes, some girls look for this, but most probably think you look like a tool. On the other hand, you probably have other meat heads coming up to you saying "Hey I like your skulls. Where'd you get that shirt? Where do you get your swell on? Your biceps look super defined bro...". Yeah, although this might be the "manliest" option, it clearly has the most potential to be gay. Manly shirt: COULD BE GAY

GAY but that's obviously the point, so if you're wearing this you're clearly not afraid of people thinking you're gay. Not much else to say about that. Do your thing.







In conclusion, wear pink if you want to. It has nothing to do with being gay. It's #fortheladies. Unless you're literally wearing "PINK", that Victoria's Secret brand, which is strictly for females. Then I will hit you, and you will thank me for it. Like this:
