TheHomeScientist Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I was speculating on my blog this afternoon about the differences in how men and women think about clothes. http://www.ttgnet.com/journal/?p=495 Am I stereotyping here, or do you think what I wrote is generally true?

alisoncooks Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Well, I'm about the least fashionable female I know. I'm currently wearing a Star Wars Legos t-shirt (from the guy section of Target) and jogging pants. It doesn't often get much better than this, LOL. But I purge ruthlessly. DH --on the other hand -- needs hand-holding when it comes to closet purging. He owns a pair of color block shorts (think Kid 'n Play) that are about SIX sizes too small. He will NOT let me toss them/donate them/TOUCH THEM. So yes, there is some merit to what you've said. Don't know if it's gender-based or individual, though.

kalanamak Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 "The differences within the sexes is greater than the differences between the sexes." I.e. a male and female dandy have more in common than a male dandy and a male slob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It is just the opposite in my family. I have clothes that are well on 20 years old now whereas my hubby has to have new shirts at least every six months. I am currently wearing a Green Bay T-shirt and a pair of pj bottoms. My dds on the other hand need new clothes all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Shall I bring up the t-shirts that were too small on my husband yet had to be carried from move to move? Years and years later, those crazy college Ultimate Frisbee t-shirts became my son's favorites. Shaking head, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
