Chicks really do dig pink

At least, according to this article on The Economist (Sex, shopping and thinking pink).

Puts those brochures below into perspective I guess.

just went shopping for a suit, in a flash mens suit store.

tie rack was a circle.. quick maths - a dozen spokes, about 20 ties / spoke, that's over 200 ties..

EVERY SINGLE ONE had pink on it somewhere. Many were at least 50% some shade of pink.

way to show off our masculinity.

Tell me about it. You can't turn sideways without running into a wall of pink.

I look horrible in pink. It washes out my already pasty pale exterior. I don't want to make it worse.

I look forward to the day that once again pink is not considered the height of men's fashion.

I hate pink. With a passion.

And I thought when applied to men, 'pink' is referred to as 'salmon'?

Not anymore. Seems that once again it's cool to embrace being comfortable with "girl's colours" and say "I'm wearing pink and I'm okay with that".

Personally, I don't think pink suits my complexion but that doesn't stop my wife from trying to get me to buy a pink shirt.
