I feel weird about this topic, when I think about what I find attractive.
Very masculine men in (light) pink (not masculine looking, necessarily, but masculine in personality) are sometimes more attractive to me because they completely own the color.
However, if I'm presented with a wishy-washy man in pink, someone who doesn't own his sexuality, or is just a more femininely-tempered man... it wipes them off my sexual radar entirely. Of course, they already were, but it just cements it for me.
But any man in hot pink, bright yellow, or orange can just go away. I can't stand those colors on either sex.
It bothers me to know that I allow a social construction of a color to influence what I find desirable in a sex or dating partner. I know that most of what I am attracted to is a social construction, but it's usually more a personal preference of personality and sex than looks. Colors are so superficial and such obvious constructions of sexual identity that you'd think they'd be easy to shrug off once you become truly aware of their impact... but I find it hard to do so.
