Why Woman Think They Like Pink

Okay okay, so my blogs are infrequent. But when I do make time to blog...dammit, I'll hit you with a couple. So deal with it. Danke.

So, I just came across this article I found quite intriguing. There is a study that claims there is a biological reason why women like "pink" and men gravitate more towards blue. This didn't sound entirely scientific so I read further. Here is the article.

Apparently, when women and men were shown a series of colored shapes and asked which they preferred, then men chose shades that were on the blue spectrum, and the women were drawn towards the "pinker" end of the spectrum. But this begs the question, are we shaped to prefer these colors by society? If a guy says his favorite color is "pink"...well, he is deemed a huge woosy and playing for the other team essentially.

The article goes on to say that as a whole, there is a universal preference towards blue for both sexes, but in addition, women like red as well. So, they deduce that red and blue are a combination of a woman's preference in colors...thus...purples and pinks. I dunno, London....you Brits are crazy with these studies!

My favorite line in the article is "For men, thinking about colours was less important because as hunters they just needed to spot something dark and shoot it..." Hehe.
