I have a Van Halen concert T-Shirt that I bought in 1984 and never wore... does that count?

When she moved out of here she had less than a dozen. Now that shes finally on her own she just kind of went wild with the shoes. Ive talked with a few other young women and they see nothing unusual about having that many shoes!
I have 2 pair moccasins and semi dress.

Yeah. so? Not every purchase is a success. Some cars are lemons too. Some expensive dogs bite or pee on the furniture, some steak is tough. "Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.">>>>>>>>>>>

Women waste billions on clothes never worn Riley drops what he's doing, rummages around in the closet, takes out enormous bullhorn, hikes to the top of the tallest mountain, fills his lungs and in a roaring bellow, thunders...
DUH!!!
(Somewhere out there tonight, the Ex Mrs. Riley, is examining a bulging closet which cannot be made to fit another article of clothing, and will in all liklihood utter that familiar refrain, "I don't have anything to wear- I need to go shopping".)

I think in FY 2005 I bought a pair of khakis, a pair of corduroys, a six-pack of tube socks and maybe some underwear (I'm not counting assorted baseball caps). And I'm single. |
There may be a corollary.

I think you not taking into account that women are prone to thinking, hopefully, about "size."
"I'm gonna wear that when I get to that 'size'"
Also, due to homornal cycles, women have to have at least 2-3 sizes of clothing, just to accomodate fluctuations.

Yep. I got that. That's why I said, "either."
My statement was much news as the news article... Non-news, the both of them.

My dear wife buys all of her designer clothing at consignment stores for typically what the sales tax is on the item new. She looks for what she calls "diet dresses", new with labels and never worn by women who hoped they could diet their way into them. She has build a fabulous designer wardrobe on a Penny's budget. I'm glad I married smart and beautiful.

Know what you mean. Now that the hormonal thing isn't such a big consideration, my closet got culled to very little. It's a relief not having so much "stuff."

Women's clothing, by nature is closer-fitting.
Men have S-M-L-XL...if you fluctuate by 5 pounds...no big deal...
Women have 2-4-6-8-10-12-14...without a lot of leeway.
