What is it with women and clothing, anyway?

[Ken]

I usually tell those who ask about a women and clothing is to just write the checks it could be worse.

Bet she gets new shoes too

Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.

Not to be a smarta$$, but how many tools or tractor related items do we all have that we don't need?

Lol. Now that's a good one. And something for us to think about. I do have lots of tools as does my dad. Me and my dad always buy more tools even though we have the same tools.

Your right. Me and my dad buy more tools than we need. So were doing the same thing. But with tools.

You are saying out of 140,000 plus members here nobody is going to give me a good answer? Surely you are kidding !!!

If you look back in history 1700's France, Spain and other part of Europe), it wasn't always the women who were the fancy dressers. Even the military organizations were peacocks.
I'm no psychologist, but I think women have a need to attract a mate...whether this is a genetic thing or cultural, I've no idea. I suppose it's more cultural...look at the number of magazines and TV shows focused on how women can improve their looks or dress. Very few magazines and shows of this nature are directed toward men...GQ is the only magazine I can think of, actually.

Wife and I are attending a wedding this Friday...she wants to go buy a new outfit although she already has enough clothing to supply 35 women with a wardrobe. As for me I have one suit, a few good pair of slacks and jeans, and about 15 shirts, plus the workwear grubs I use to do outdoor jobs. Her clothing takes up 60-70 times the space mine does....I will never understand who women want so much clothing in the first place.

Does anybody know the reason?

Face it. Women are there to make the men who dress like slobs look good. Works for me and my 5 free Menards t-shirts and flannels. :laughingon't rock the boat or you will be giving up your toys.

Roy, obviously you have never read an issue of ESQUIRE magazine....

And to those here who say we have too many tools, one NEVER outgrows tools and they ALWAYS have value and DO NOT become obsolete like fashions do. I was at Goodwill today, probably a quarter of the merchandise offered for sale was womens clothing and shoes, but the TOOLS that were for sale would not have cost me more than a $20 bill.

I REST MY CASE !!!!

I don't think you will find many here who will disagree with you, but that's just the way it is.

I will add that I don't have a lot of clothes either. I do have a couple pair of $700 or $800 boots and a few $500 or $600 hats. My wife has probably 20 pair of shoes that did not add up to the cost of one poair of those boots. I don't complain much. It won't do any good anyway.
