Yup. And I assumed you were kidding, but played along anyway just for fun. If you were serious though, what I said about health and cotton vs nylon is true.

Then again, your mother probably taught you that ;-)

Shimrod says Most women seem to adore clothes (I'm not knocking this , you understand - just an observation) and are expected to experiment whereas men tend to be much less interested and, like me, may actively hate clothes shopping.

That's true. I think some men claim to hate it simply because shopping is a 'gendered' activity (usually considered to be "the woman's job", whether it's for clothes or groceries or other household items. Reminds me of the little dud in Molly's poetry class: "Chick poem!" So a lot of women do all the clothes shopping for the whole family -- men included.

IF I hadn't bought my husband clothes, I think he would have gone through life in one pair of shoes, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 t-shirts, a sweatshirt and borrowed formal wear when he needed it. If I wanted him to look better than that, I had to dress him myself!

And now that my sons are grown, it AMAZES me how quickly they shop. For them, shopping is a chore, not a pleasure. My son can find everything he needs/wants for a new season in 20 minutes flat, shopping at only 1 or 2 stores. He always knows exactly what he wants before he goes, and it takes a lot less time to find it too, in the smaller men's depts. Meanwhile, I usually need a whole day (or several) to try things on and make up my mind re all the new styles, colours, prices.

Typically, men have only 3 'styles' to shop for anyway- masculine casual wear, masculine work wear and masculine formal wear. Women, on the other hand, usually need both 'feminine' and 'unisex' styles, for casual and work wear anyway. So women need more clothes, and find a much wider selection to choose from. And it seems to me that fitting is a more complicated matter for women than it is for men too ...

Anyways, from a woman's perspective it's usually not a man's clothing, his fashion sense or even just his appearance in general that make him attractive. Unfortunately, I don't think your average guy could say the same thing! And that's another reason why women spend a lot more time and energy and money on clothing - particularly the younger ones.
IMO.
