Difference is that we can use our implements week after week and the other guys won't gossip about us.
I guess I'm lucky, my wife :cowgirl: probably only spends about $300 a year on clothing since leaving the corporate world and even then it was only about $1200yr.

Joke just left in the joke thread by kOua that seemed fitting:
A man on his Harley was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, God said, 'because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.'
The biker pulled over and said, 'Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.'
God replied, 'Your request is materialistic; think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking; the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind.'
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, 'God, I wish that I, and all men, could understand women; I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, why she snaps and complains when I try to help, and how I can make a woman truly happy.
God replied: 'You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Women buy new outfits for events for one reason: to impress the other women at that event. Women don't dress for guys as much as they dress for other women.
Kind of like the "he who dies with the most toys wins" with some men, some women do the same thing with clothes, jewelry and handbags. Kind of the female version of One Upping The Jones'.
Now that being said...I'm a female and I loathe shopping. Especially for clothes. In my house, my husband has 7/10 of the closet, the entire bureau and the spare room closet for his clothes. I have 3/10 of the closet and one nightstand. But then he has an office job and I work from home and outside.
However I do have some expensive shoes...good riding boots aren't cheap. And I do have a baseball cap problem...I have tons of them. I can't pass up a good cap. Plus a cap means no need for a hairdo. Just a ponytail.
If the wife wants a new outfit for the wedding and it's in the budget...I say go for it. Let her show up everyone else at the wedding. No different from when a guy goes to a cruise night and wants to be driving the nicest car. I always encourage hubby to buy that new suit he likes...that way when I go buy a compressor or a nail gun he might not complain.
