Black Watch

Why Guys Will Forever Love The Color Black

Is black the new black? It's fairly obvious that one of the most popular colors in fashion, style, culture and just about anything else one would care to mention these days -- including the high-speed, low drag sports cars many young guys are driving around in -- is still black. It never seems to go out of style and there are certainly a good many reasons for why.

For one, and this is an important consideration when talking about boys, young man, men and even old men, it hides dirt, stains and other icky blotches very well. Think about it; the color works great and looking good and hiding dirt. Think about something like a black helmet, perhaps one intended for a motorcycle, for example. Who needs to polish it and clean it for the first seven or eight years when black is there to hide all the dirt?

In truth, keeping people -- especially women -- from seeing all of the dirt that probably coats everything a man owns is an important factor in how and why men by certain things and the colors they buy those things in. Think about it; the guy can get away with wearing a black colored pair of pants for three or more months in a row without it ever having to get close to approaching that death machine it's also known as a washing machine.

For just about every guy, the color black makes picking out clothing or accessories exceedingly easy, even when it comes to finding a black sport watch. All that he needs to know is that the watch will be colored in black and that he can probably find it for eight bucks at the local discount store and he is happy as a clam. And besides; that eight dollar watch probably runs as nicely as a $3000 Swiss watch, leaving $2992 to spend on good stuff like video games, right?

In reality, there's really no deep-dark secret behind why guys love the color black. In fact, most men, boys and even old men worship the color because it also helps them quickly wash off the odd ketchup stain or motor oil stain that ends up on their black jeans. Try that little stunt while wearing a pair of stylish light colored khakis and see the looks that will be cast a guy's way, especially if that stain is near the crotch area.

Is there, in truth, anything to really complain about when it comes to boys, men or guys in general and the color black? The only possible downside might be when it comes to the guy who insists on covering himself from head to toe in it. He might, unfortunately, be mistaken for some foot soldier in some double worshiping demonic cult, though his cutesy men's sport watch with the glow-in-the-dark numbers would probably give him away for the World of Warcraft practitioner he really is.

There are so many positive things to say about black, coming from the perspective of a guy, that it's a wonder that more men aren't running around dressed like ninja warriors. Certainly, it can even slim down a guy who's been chowing down on too many doughnuts and 32 ounce soda pops while busily punching his videogame controller, and that's probably why black will forever be loved by any man or boy worth his salt.
