According to my wife, much of fashion is women trying to impress other women, rather than look attractive to men.

There was a study a few years ago that compared how women thought they should look to how men thought it. Silhouettes of women were shown and each subject was asked to choose what he thought was ideal. The average pick among the women was one of the thinnest -- anorexic, actually. The average among the men was in the middle of the chart. Certainly not heavy, but not waif-thin, either.

Yeah, I've heard this, and I think we've had at least one woman make the same comment here (above).

Women have this amazing talent for giving each other grief -- makes me glad I'm a guy.
