I wouldn't get an iPod unless it was free, and I just don't look good wearing pink (although I wouldn't be flashing an ipod around in the same way that I wouldn't hold up a "Mug me" sign.)

update:

I brought the box with me to work in hopes that I'd open it charge it etc.

I like the idea that since I'm going to get a case for it the color is probably moot. Not to mention if I got say a Belkin Aluminum case which is probably my case of choice since the one on my palm worked wonderfully getting dropped on lava rocks in Iceland.

The Pink Floyd idea is wonderful, I have a nice good superbit(?) Dark Side of the Moon rip which would be a nice way to "initiate it."

I did start this out as a poll and over thought the Poll idea too much that I abandoned it because I was more interested in the thoughts of the different girls and guys, and did not want to make a dozen poll options. A simple yes/no/don't care would have totally sufficed. I should have done it that way.

I've asked some coworkers just to see what they would think and ironically they all voted for trying to exchange it for a better color based on the fact that they have given pink ones away to girls.

Tomorrow is another day. I'll leave the box here and give it one more opportunity to get opened.

You seem to have a pink kink in your think! (Movie reference anyone)? Why should it matter? Just enjoy it and let others think what they may.

i'm a security guard part time. I had to break up a fight last night in a club because some guy was wearing a pink shirt. yeah, i think you should avoid it... the ipod might look cool tho...

Okay, I used to absolutely hate the color pink. I mean, I would steer clear of it as much as I could. Now I'm okay with it. And really I think if a guy is man secure enough with himself to wear pink, then he should.

Nunquam_Idem

So few guys can pull off the pink shirt without it looking unmanly. I would never try, I already know that my wife doesn't like the whole pink guy shirt phenomenon. Can't say I much care for it myself either.

Same thing with the iPod. Don't think I could pull off pink. If I won one, I'd get a case or write 'Floyd' on it (good one, God of Thunder)

Kudos to you if you can pull it off...

I forgot to update again:

Last Friday I was bored at work... so I opened it, did the install. I went to Circuit city and bought the belkin case. You can't tell it's pink except for the pink letters on the dial which is very suble. I did name it Floyd when prompted to by iTunes.

I actually dig the pink one. I find that it actually suits me as it is.

"tough guys wear pink", I like that. I should buy a shirt like that
I don't wear pink because I know I'd never hear the end of it from my brothers... I know I shouldn't care what they think... but they're my brothers, so what they think counts... somewhat. Whenever I play HALO 2 I always make sure that my character is colored pink and has the heart-shaped logo with the lips in the middle on his arms, 'cause it must really suck to get your ass whooped by a character that looks very ::ahem:: ... fruity. Anyway, I will most likely wear pink when I am older and living on my own. You know, tigh-fitting muscle shirts in the color pink. And some pink slacks too. In fact, I want to wear a full suit in pink color along with a pink tophat... and a pink cane.

If he can wear pink, confidently, I have to say hurrah for him breaking stereotypes. When women wear it, it feels overdone, and a bit too cutesy.

Don't you find it clashes with your purple footie pyjamas?

If you are really worried about it, slap a sticker on the thing. It will be instantly trendy. Walk into any boardshop now days and you will see quite a few guys shirts that are pink.

now I just need yellow shoes... then I'll be already for Easter Bunny duty.

The.Lunatic

Sigh... just why

I'm a guy and my position on pink is that its not a color for men, it's just not manly!

Women don't want sensitive men.

They want a MAN who can
take charge of a situation
make them feel safe
can make them cum
cares about them / what they have to say (at least most of the time)
and be sensitive with them in behind closed doors[it lets herknow you trust her] <-- i usually fuck that up

Wearing pink.. i dunno just not for me

but if you can do it you go gurl friend <-- lols at u

The women you find like them that way...

Skogafoss loves me the way that I am, purple feetie pajamas (which she bought for me for Xmas) to my pink iPod (which she gave me) Hey.. wait a second, is this a passive aggressive method of making women.....

Nah... she loves me just the way that I am, together for 7 years married for 3.5.

I've recently earned an appreciation for the colour, and wear it now and again. I think that case is pretty awesome. I've never seen it before. It probably looks cool with that little bit of pink peaking through. Hooray for free stuff!!1

edit.. wow, this thread is kinda old... heh...

I love pink, I try to wear it but it's really hard for me to find super-sized pink clothes.
Once I listen to 2 kids arguing that pink should only be for girls and blue for girls but after mentioning "Pink panther" and "Blue's clues" (from the clue program) it ended in tears

If nothing else, it will act as a conversation piece.

As far as clothes and the color itself go, I have and wear pink shirts, so long as they match with whatever else I'm wearing.

It isn't my favorite color in the world, but if it matches and looks good at the moment, I'm not one to complain.

By the way, some guys just look like complete tools in pink. Seriously, if you can't pull off the look, don't wear it.

Pink is a color. Don't let fashion rule your mind.

I must say, there are some guys that look especially delicious in a nice pink button down shirt.

As for me, I really don't look good in a lot of pink. Meaning a solid pink shirt is too much pink.

As for the ipod, If it's free I'll take it any color... and it would have to be free. My broke-ass doesn't have money for such things.

My only problem with the color pink is that guys wear it because it's fashionable. The statement you're making isn't of originality, but rather of conformity. But the thing is, the statement it's supposed to make is edgy, and girls will like you for it. And in the end, isn't that the reason most people wear clothes above and beyond comfort and protection?

Fashion is confusing and hypocritical.

Depends on how you wear the pink. A pink shirt I always feel looks bad under a suit (just a personal preference, I like white or black shirts), however a nice strong pink contrasting something like black can look stunning, I suppose its all about how you carry yourself with it rather than the colours... tonight I found its actually true, if you walk up to someone, look them in the eye and talk to them then they don't notice what you are wearing!

MeltedMetalGlob

I've known a few guys that would wear pink shirts- and no one ever told them it was unmanly, mainly because to do so would have not been survival-promoting.

People should wear any color they like, if it looks good on them. As far my own clothes go, I've never worn anything pink. Orange is also a color that's never shown up in my wardrobe- just clashes terribly with my mostly earth-tones.

As a perpetual searcher of the remotes/telephone etc - pink would be far preferable to hide in the dark black. If anyone tries to take the pee, blame the wife - sigh the sigh of the overlong patient spouse 'I am blessed you know, she is a lovely women, but I do wish that when she does a a hot white wash, she would remember to check for her red socks - not like its the first time. Sigh'.
Surely the most important is that it works and you can get some enjoyment out of it. As for pink shirts etc - sad to say, I should have checked more thoroughly for those odd red socks - my poor sons were often seen marching off to school with their whites various shades of pink after a washing machine accident - probably is something to feel uncomfortable about if you are between 6 and 8.

Sometimes a standout color makes sense.
I used to use an orange tenor saxophone case in the 1980s.
It was most unlikely that anyone would choose to steal that one from a club.
Much more likely to take one of the black cases.
Also when it was on the back of my bicycle the orange was noticeable.

I don't have a pink shirt but always have liked a burgundy shirt with a black suit.

genuinegirly

My husband has a bright pink tie that looks smashing on him. He wore it to the interview for his current job. Perhaps they were inclined to hire a man who is comfortable wearing a color that is similar to their most popular candy.

I wish more guys were willing to wear more pink. It looks great.

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.

I like "free" more than I dislike pink.

I own a pink dress shirt that works with some things. I don't go out of my way to wear it or to avoid it.

Incidentally, since my first post in this thread I've worn a pink polo shirt a few times and have since owned an iPod Touch (RIP)

filtherton

I don't give a fuck about wearing pink. One of my favorite shirts is a pink t-shirt with a drawing of a bunch of male lions sitting around making out. Yes, it's a pink gay pride shirt. My wife got it for me. It's the bee's tits. I also have pink dress shirt that I wear in regular rotation and a pink tie that goes with it.

It's a color. It's 2011. Get over that shit.

DRP976

I have no problem with pink, just not a color I would choose for clothes/car/etc.

I like black and white the best for anything. (clothes, cars, homes, etc.)
