Wear Red, Get Chicks

[Sqwunk]

Red just makes me think of whores. Whores in red dresses. Whores with red lip-stick. Whores with red high heels.

Nvm.. I guess red does = sex if you're a whore. :<

On another note this might be a good reason why a lot of guys have a thing for red-headed girls.

isn't lipstick red because it's supposed to be reminiscent of a engorged vulva?

Should have shown her your red Mac.

Niggas don't know about my dashiki.

Would you say an engorged vulva is the color of a red lipstick?

I actually really prefer it if my man's tshirts are mostly red. Dark red rather than bright red, although I am drawn to both.

i own a few red shirts. one is a dress shirt which i will rock the fuck out of, and i happen to be wearing in my profile pic on fb.

I have a darker red short sleeve shirt I golf in and an almost burgundy button up shirt. I always get complements when I wear them. I prefer a light blue button up shirt with sleeves rolled with a pair of khakis though, but it works either way.

1 pair of chucks and 2 pairs of red Pumas. I also have a shit load of red tees. My favourite colour, nothing else.

Purple, Gold and Red. Purple is more regal, red is more power and gold is more wealth and status.

Red used to be a symbol for power, wealth and status a few hundred years ago, when it could only be created reliably from mashed lice. Only the richest people could afford it, and as such, it held a lot of status.

The lice was sold from Spain, who had monopoly on them. They in turn imported it from Mexico, where only trusted Spanish people had access to the fields themselves. A lot of countries (including England and Sweden, where the most well-known theft came from Carl Von Linné's student, but was later discarded by his gardener due to the plant being infected by lice) tried to steal the lice, but were unsuccessful. They did manage to get a low-grade one, but which lead to them "quality ensurance" branding it.

There were other sources to get the color red from, such as roots etc. But they did not have the same quality of red produced by cochineal lice. As such, the brightest red (Carmine Red, nowadays also known as food colorant E120) were reserved to only the royalty, noble and rich. Eventually, when merchants also became rich, they were forbidden to wear carmine red in some countries, England being one of them if I remember correctly.

Eventually the color red could be made synthetically, which could produce better red colors for cheaper cost, which quickly overtook the expensive lice red.

That's my theory as to why the color red is associated with power and importance, at least. The Red Carpet is carmine red, is it not? I'm not entirely sure.

Aye, pretty much the same red.

A lot of foods we eat that are traditionally thought to be more upper crust was also based on the difficulty/cost of obtaining/growing/processing/producing them. Chocolate and spices are some of the oldest, and chocolate also oddly sustained it's status fairly well due to the almost universal appeal of it's taste/texture.

While other things like biscuits and cornbread, anyone can make fairly easily, and cheaply.


Salt is easy to get, Pepper used to be valuable enough to be used as a currency.

Looks like these guys had the right idea.

Red is a power color and stands out, but I don't exactly find myself drawn to it...

If I just make random statements about make-believe shit willthat make them factual too?

What the fuck is a "power" color? Gonna go buy a red shirt and find someone named skeletor to beat up, brb.

[BerenTebogo]

But really, holdover from reverence for fuedal and monarchal lords does at least sound plausible. Still a large part of the lore and mysticism in western culture. Boys get stories about dragons and badassness and girls get stories about being rescued from their own stupidity by a prince or some shit.

Lol culture.

She's not bad. She's just drawn that way.

[Corrderio]

Note to self... pick up a red dress shirt if a woman interviews me.

Sadly though. Red isn't really my color. I'm more of a blue/black person.
