I love it.
Although I think it's totally ridic that a kid would get picked on for wearing pink IN THE FIRST PLACE. I think it's SO hot when a guy wears pink. It's just such a wicked colour...and yeah theres a little punk-rock girl in me and it just so happens that a good amount of punk shirts are pink for guys....

quite a few of my favorite shirts are pink and nobody's ever given me a hard time. in fact, it's a conversation starter with girls at the bar...

I keep trying to get Mike to wear a pink shirt. He's ADAMANT that MEN don't wear pink. I think he'd look great in it!

yeah actually i think i prefer a darker pink business shirt to a light pink polo shirt... it's like every second guy in sydney was wearing one of those last year... collar turned up, hair gelled within an inch of its life.. ugh.
But knowing the school i went to, if a younger kid wore pink then yes he would have been bullied. the kids weren't really open to new ideas there. thank god for uniforms..

pink shirts can make even the biggest losers at the bar desirable/
here's all the proof you need:

That's a good story, gotta love it when people stick it to bullies.
As for wearing pink, I would have no problem at all doing it for a special cause. But, as for wearing pink in my general social life, I'm one of those old school out of touch believers that real men don't wear pink

To me, it's kind of like earrings or eye makeup (guess I'm a bit of a fan of grunge and glam-rock!). I don't think ALL guys can actually pull it off. I do like a pink dress shirt though.
Honestly, as a female, I went through a thing where I didn't want to wear pink (long long time ago) because I didn't want to be "typical," "too girly," or "stupid." (Don't get me started on what led my warped little mind to associate wearing pink with stupidity...I think it might have been Heathers.)

The only pink shirt I have was an accidental washing machine mistake, I'd only wear it as a very last resort. Pink is not a man colour, tis wrong! Down with this sort of thing.

I don't wear pink either. Its really the only color I refuse to bend on. However, I will qualify that and say the shirt Noke has on in his picture that has pink stripes in addition to other colors is fine, I could wear something like that. A solid pink polo or dress shirt? Not. Gonna. Do it.
