Real men wear pink?

[ClayJar]

Tobin made me a PINK Torus wing for my doubles and I love it! I'd love to see a picture of you in your PINK DSS wing. As to wishing you had more PINK gear click my link below and take a look.

I got the pink wrist mounts for my dive computer and compass. They're *quite* easy to spot, and I don't think I have to worry about someone mistakenly believing they're theirs.

I suppose I'm just a bit of a ham. Hmm... pink... ham... hmm.... Anyone make a bacon design webbing? I'd order a slab of that to rebuild my harness.

Right after I got certified I was looking for a high-vis, blunt-tipped knife with a line cutter away from the hilt*.

In a pawn shop one day I found it. A Wenoka in good condition for $10.

Oh, and it happened to be pink.

Yes, I still dive with it on occasion.

*I've never understood why most knives have the line cutter right at the hilt, where it would be very difficult to use.

Had a boss once ... former career military, West Point type. His department was the only one in the company with a dress code ... men were required to wear ties, and women were required to wear skirts.

One day at a staff meeting one of the guys showed up wearing a pink shirt. The boss made some derogatory comment about the manhood of guys who would wear pink. Didn't go over real big, but hey ... he's the boss.

By the following week's staff meeting, every guy on staff had made it a point to go purchase a pink shirt ... and we all wore them to the staff meeting. The boss didn't say a word ...

I'm completely glazed over here with confusion.. I guess you've got me smoked with those references... its hogging some memory upstairs or something. Back the rind for me!

I've been on your site a couple of times... and I'm looking into thinking pink a wee more! I added you as a myspace friend and I have a couple of pictures on there of the wing. Soon, I'm going to need another... it isn't old, but with 300 dives on it, PLUS all the pool time, it is turning more orangey. My doubles wing will soon be going pink as well!

I'll add you to my myspace as well and look forward to seeing your pics!! And when it's time to get that new doubles wing... I'll give you a great deal on one --- just to get more guys wearing PINK!!!

How many of us wear pink (ones with at least one Y chromasome)? I have a pink tipped snorkel, and now just acquired a pink weight belt. I am working on getting a pair of pink fins next....

How many of us are manly enough to admit we like pink? I met a man on a dive boat with a pink belt, and another one with a pink regulator... They were not at all "happy" in the fruitty sense, but were happy otherwise.

The women that I worked with absolutely swooned when I wore a pink shirt with black slacks, tie, jacket and braided leather bracers (button-in "suspenders" to those who must ask)

So yes, I wear pink. I wore a pink shirt at Sea Rovers. But pink dive gear is bad.

Any man who wears pink clothing that was not purchased by a wife or girlfriend has issues. Any man who wants pink dive gear is goofy and in need of attention. Even women look strange in pink dive equipment. Makes me wonder about their thought processes (since clearly they have no taste).

Considering we're on the subject and everything, might I inquire whether the pink webbing on Think Pink Scuba is the resin-y stiff kind? I'm tempted to order a length to redo my harness before I start working on DM...

So, based on:

This thread is gay.

and

I didn't mean that pink gear was gay. I meant that this thread is stupid.

to you, gay = stupid.

Nice. What are you, eight years old?
