I appreciate the finer things in life. You like monster trucks.
How does not caring about a $40 face creme mean that I don't like the finer things in life? Also, I don't like monster trucks.

How does wearing a pink shirt make me appear gay?

No.

I will not be a part of the wussification of the american male. Yes I like art and style. But I still have a pair and don't mind spitting and crotch scratching.

I would say I fall into my own category.

No-one can compare me to anyone, not that i know of, I have such a strange personality.

I am fussy about how I look and i like nice clothes etc and yeah, if i go out and my hair looks slightly wrong it will piss me off, but i dont read books or any other crap on the list.

Kthxbye

Stylish, urban dwelling straight male, known for his savvy with clothing, his subscription to Kiplinger's, and who has all three of the following in his home:
1. a full set of silverware
2. books on a bookshelf that have actually been read
3. pomade

Uh oh....

No, it isn't. You're claiming that "gay" and "pink" are mutually inclusive. Being a football fan doesn't make you heterosexual, so why should a pink shirt make you homosexual?

I used the word "appear". If you dress like Liberace (sic?), order drinks with little umbrellas in them, and talk with a lisp... it doesnt make you gay. It does make you LOOK (or appear) gay.

So you're a part of the troglodytation of the American male, an image propogated by sitcoms.

True. Just because somebody for some reason thinks that wearing a pink shirt makes them look like a manly man doesn't change the fact that most guys will consider such clothes fruity. It's pretty simple. If you see a guy with a lisp, limp hands, and tight leather pants he appears gay, doesn't he? Pink shirt is part of that. Obviously those two guys had reason to get the impression.

lol, I'm in the same boat as you. No full set of silverware here though so I'm good :p Also, I drive a 98 F150 4x4, live in the country, and live for football season so I think I'm pretty safe :p

No offense, but spend a night in Hollywood. Anyone who thinks their all special quickly finds out they are just incidental clones.

I'll tell you what: I'll stand beside any one of you in my tailored pink shirt and we'll see who is considered the most attractive and best-dressed.

Pink shirt.

repeat after me.

Pink shirt.

looking like a girl does NOT mean you are attractive.
