For me, few years back, that color is nice and beautiful but as the time passes by, it irritates me! i hate it cause it is so redundant that you are a girl and you wear pink..
maybe the trends matter for me..
i love maybe blue, green or orange..dresses..
and some bright(cause it is in the trend) but pink..no!!..
i have seen the pictures of my son's girl ex-classmates and they are all as in ALL wearing pink gowns..
i don't know if it was mandated..
what do you think?
Do you feel the same way too?
but, my daughter told me that pink means masculine...or defines masculine..but girls wear pink..and now some guys are into it too...

How can a color irritate you? lol. No. I do not get irritated by any color. I like pink. It's not my favorite color but I like it. It represents femininity to me.

I can be irritated by some colors on some days too.. It really depends on my mood actually. Some days I really can't stand the color pink! Some days I can't understand why people wanna wear black, but I actually have lots of black in my wardrobe.. =P Hmmm..why is that??

I don't think pink is only for girls. I so guys that wore pink and I must admit that they look good on it. I don't think there's a gender specific color. For me, it all depends on how you carry yourself.
By the way, I like kingsroad's post...very poetic. ^^l

it's really really true, it just depends on how to carry themselves with a specific color...but most people have chosen pink cause it's in the trend and not to help them to be more beautiful or more pleasant or good looking..they just wear it ..!!Good^^!!

i don't really care if men wear pink...but sometimes there are people who looks good in what they wear..there are those who wear pink because they feel it's masculine not knowing they look ridiculous,...that's what irritates me..people wearing something because it is what's "in", like they don't have mirrors or FRIENDS! hehehe

i do really agree!!they are so-called fashion victims, they cannot escape from it, and they think or their mentality when pink it's good, good looking, nice looking...maybe, it has been a fact for them..but shouldn't!!even if it's not in the trend wear clothes which will your look..!!not just it's in the trend you wear it..but it's better if you'll jump out of it and have your own unique style!!^^, VERY GOOD DISCUSSIONS HERE!!

When i was a teenager i refused to wear pink. even now i won't. and i always said that i would never wear pink on my kids either. then i had 2 cute little girls and almost everything they owned as babies was pink lol. now they are 4 and 2 and we've branched out from pink quite a bit. I think some people can pull of pink, others can't.

yes, other people cannot!, but it can be branched out easily i think, i think some people wearing pink dresses maybe are still victim of fashion or they have been addicted to that color that in time for me don't look good.....thanks, good!!

really?i don't like pink either!i feel like i'm childish when i wear pink (well, i'm 31 years old but very young looking,kidding aside!joke...). but i do admire guys wearing pink!especially those who wear long sleeves pink clothes..Seems that these guys are so secured in life (probably, this is the reason why you daughter sees wearing pink as a sign of masculinity).

maybe, they are so secured in life...or they don't take pink as for girls only cause we all know that each color can be used in our clothes..any!, so why bother by others who don't appreciate those guys but still the looks matter for me..
and i think the mere reason why i started to hate pink maybe is that almost all here in my place wear pink and most of them are fashion victims - the pink wears doesn't help them, it doesn't fit their looks..!!good!!

I really don't care for the colour pink at all, onemen or women. I can almost deal with a pale pink, if it is really light and a pastel, but I strongly dislike the bright pinks. Neon pinks are the worse, and if you throw in a pattern I'd probably have a fit of some sort. I think it is hideous.

i do hate more the bright pinks...cause the color itself is really irritating especially if the light reflects on it...oh!!, but still even light or pale..no!, thanks..good!!

Hi,rockingmom!
For me,I don't like pink.It makes me look too immature,especially the pink dress!I don't want to be so "sweet" because my appearance lookes younger than my real age so that I don't want to decorate myself as a teenager!
Moreover,as an Asian girl,I don't think my skin matches the pink clothes well.The dark pink looks too old but the light pink looks too pale.So I always avoid to wear the pink clothes.

As for me, pink color, signifies both, for feminine and masculine. I like pink colors honestly, but sometimes if pink shades were mixed with other shades it makes me feel irritated also.but pink refreshes me at all and im proud of wearing pink all time around.Sometimes wearing pink colors depends on the one whos wearing,in the way he carries himself as well.

yes, i believe with you too, especially when mixed with brown or green or other bright or dark, it's worse, or the worst..maybe it complements somehow with brown and light blue in some persons who can wear it beautifully, but when when worn often, no! it's irritating..Good!

i am not irritated with pink colors at all. i find pink good for me. and i think i look good in it.
anyway, i have read through a book that pink is really a masculine color (so, your daughter is right in this one)... i mean, it used to be. but i wonder why now that pink is mostly related to girls and women.
i find men who can carry pink shirts and pink polos well are neat looking.
i am not sure why people define sexes through colors when it's not really a basis for it... anne

Yes people has given there own approach on gender related colors, if you're a guy and wears pink they think or others think that they are lesbians(unfashioned or cannot accept those guys wearing pink) but for girls any color is fine...thanks..GOOD!!

yes,.haha!!thanks for being honest..i had loved pink or liked it many many years..3 or 5 years ago..but now it seems people or most people who wears it have been fashion victims..they just wear it to be in the trend or because they know they will look better even sometime or often not!!, Good!!

i love the color pink although i don't have many pink things. i just like to look at them especially if the shade is so light. it's cool in the eyse to look at. i read somewhere that statistically, most girls like blue while most boys like red. i don't have the resources so i can't back up what i just wrote.. LOL... liuke you, i also love blue and green but whne i wear clothes like gown. i always prefer the color black. i believe that this color is so elegant and so timeless....
P.S. in our perception class while we are studying about colors, our professor said that in ancient times, pink is considered to be the color for the royal family. this is because making the color in that time was so difficult. this is the reason why most people who belongs to the royal family wears pink... hehehehe... don't know if this is true though... LOL

eww, i hate pink, i agree with you how it was OK in the past, but now it makes you look really immature... i mean if it was like a little neon pink, like one of those house of hollands tees, or pink accessories like vintage sunglasses, thats ok... but not TOO much like full on dress! girls who wear pink like that... reminds me of paris hiltons old fashion days from 3 years ago, or a britney spears right now. and sorry but your daughters wrong.

yes!!!!it's really irritating, but i think my daughter just have read it from some source or somewhere, she has forgotten already...pink is not that good now!! I don't know why, maybe it's just many people wear pink and most of them pink dresses did not help them to be more beautiful..Good!!
