Women: Can someone explain...

[map]

...the obsession for clothes and shoe shopping?

We, or rather she, has more clothes than can fit in the wardrobes, drawers & cupboards and more shoes than she could possibly wear in a year (or so it feels).

Is it just fashion victim or am I living with a hoarder as well

She's a female, accept it and move on.

Didn't mean move on to another one anyway she'll just be the same.

*edit, maybe I should have said "get over it"

I've been asking friends this for years and have had no joy in understanding their reasons as yet. Part of me is glad though... if I understood the allure I might get dragged into it and that would be bad and wrong

I was never into shoes & handbags, I must have missed that gene.

as said above, the more she shops, the more bikes you should be alowed to buy

Shoes and handbags are to women as air-guns and RC cars are to us.

Surely its good for the misses to take her of herself and look good by wearing new clothes and having a different look?

Get a new wardrobe?
Get a new Bird?

i cant get my head round this shoes and handbag business, pair for work, bike boots and trainers and flip flops is good enough for me, ive got one handbag for work and a combat stye shoulder bag for everything else, I hate shopping unless its bike stuff, you can fit a clean pair of knickers, a toothbrush lippy and mascara and deoderant into the pockets of a bike jacket for rallies or overnight partying etc

I thought the shopping/looking nice thing was a genetic throw back to when in order to survive wimminfolk had to attract the strongest male for protection and food etc.

Obviously this is now an outdated concept (before I get karma raped... )

Last time I went shopping with a female it was my mother (sad? possibly.) She was buying me some bike gear, on the one hand I was (obviously) grateful that she was buying it but on the other, her insisting that I try on every single jacket in the shop was a little tiresome.

The idea that wearing a branded Harley Davidson Leather studded jacket wouldn't really fit with my CLR125 just wasn't sinking in...

That is all.

my finger nails, im obsessed with looking after them, they are long and i paint them every colour under the sun, dont do the fake gel or acrylic crap either so when i break one or two i get the clippers out and cut them off and start all over again

Bollocks to that.

Every bloke here most probably has more bike gear that he can wear at one time. A few pair of a boots a couple of jackets a few lids and some pairs of gloves.

We are just as bad when it comes to some things.

On the side I have to many clothes over 9 coats/jackets and like 12 pairs of shoes and boots.
