P.S. My very normal husband has to have his clothes ripped away from him to go into the laundry - tries to hide his socks so I won't waste time sorting them into pairs, he'd prefer to just grab two even if they don't match. The ones with holes? He figures he can wear them one more time (and one more time etc). He hangs around in his long johns as regular home wear. He also cuts his own hair.
I wouldn't have him any other way. If he started going all fashionable on me I'd get sick.
I know where your husband's coming from, Pram. My wife can't understand why I don't care if my teeshirst are wrinkled or I don't wear something presentable to the gym. I also tend to wear socks that are becoming threadbare. I shave and shower regularly every morning, but when my wife's out of town--I don't shave; I don't bathe; I don't make the bed--I like being a slob. But before she comes home, I clean up the house--and myself; I don't want something as beautiful as she is to be in slobville.
As far as friends go, I like men's white tie and black tie events, but it's also fun being with men when they're into slobhood just like I am--at the gym, working on some project, doing outdoor stuff, etc.
