For all those men who hate going shopping with women: It's Not Our Fault!

If you must blame someone, blame clothing manufacturers. If those lousy bastards could standardize sizes, we could be in and out much quicker.

You guys can go in and get your jeans 30 x 34 or nearly any other size you want. But not us, because a size 12 (for example) pair of jeans from two different (and sometimes even from the same!) manufacturer can be very different measurements! Even in the same store!

You may say that this is because my weight varies, but I have noticed this trend happening even on a single day.

If anything, feel sorry for us... I'd rather be out doing other things too.


Redux.

Segnbora-t makes a really good comment about women's fashion and proportionality. This is another one where I think men get it good and women have to suffer. Men's jeans have two measurements, waist and inseam, and thus have a chance in hell of getting something that fits. Women's have just one, "size."

Furthermore, most American fashion designers pretend that all women are prepubescent anorexic boys, so it is nearly impossible to find a "size" that fits properly if you have hips or breasts or are "petite." Furthermore, you have no recourse if some parts of your body fall in different arbitrary "sizes," like Segnbora-t or myself (though I have the problem of being well-endowed and curvy but short).
