Wearing a pink men’s button-down shirt with your suit doesn’t make you gay. Wearing a pink lacy thong does, however.

I find that, on most guys, carnation pink looks stupid. The ones that look good are more a light red or red-orange.

Then again, my favorite color is this light red–the color often used in old Bibles to show Jesus’s words. It’s like highlighter red, but without the fluorescence. I’d show you a picture, but everyone’s monitors are different.

I think pink only looks good guys with dark complexions.
