From now on I always need a woman with me to help me buy clothes.
I hate buying clothes for myself mostly because I have no idea what looks good, so I just focus on comfort alone and end up looking like a dork. Today AirmensMom helped me choose and for the first time I had somebody to tell me, this looks good, this doesn't, etc.

From now on I always need a female friend to help me buy clothes! It's the way forward!

1. How incredibly nice of her.
Turns out Airmensmom is a real gem, if Misshoneychurch hadn’t already convinced us of that.

So billyskank, I actually always thought you were just being creative in your photos; you really have a wardrobe disorder? You never looked like a dork BTW. So! You will have to post pictures of yourself in your new outfits!

2. I've tried that but they just stop answering "how do I look in this"
after the tenth or so thong. :shrug:

4. You're phrasing it all wrong. You're supposed to ask
"Does this make my butt look fat?".

3. Good plan!
After all, you can't tell all by yourself if your butt looks cute in those jeans or not. :shrug:

6. True ...
but there's cute and then there's CUTE. The new jeans show off the CUTE (in caps!) better. :P

9. Ah, I understand.
Although I might want to see photographic evidence to judge for myself... O8)

16. I'll work on that.
Might be hard to get billyskank to agree to some butt shots, though. :hide:

17. That's why you just wait until his back is turned and *click*
Heh... one of my teachers was using the Amish as an example for talking about how cultures can spread, and he showed us a few pictures he'd taken of various Amish buildings and whatnot. And he mentioned that the reason he didn't have any pictures of Amish people was because it's considered pretty rude to point a camera in their face and start taking pictures.

... which is why he always waits until their back is turned. :P

And nobody in the class laughed. Bah. People wouldn't know a joke if it bit 'em on the ass.

12. There are plenty of guys who know when not to cross the line.
I'm one of them, I just happen to like seeing that line, then putting at least one foot over it. :P

11. This skill is not attached solely to the vagina
I am a terrible shopper and I hate shopping. I know plenty of men who are far better at that sort of thing.

18. what ever happened to garanimals
Remember the tagged clothing?
match the lion on one tag to the lion on another tag and the 2 things went together.

They aimed it at kids, they should have aimed it at men
I tend to dress very simply because i have no taste, I have been told i have not taste by too many people and after a while i tend to believe them.

I remember an old friend of mine who taught art at the university level.
He was known for his "interesting" color combos with his clothing.
His response was always "I am an artist-my perception of what colors go together is
just different and superiour to yours"

19. You gotta watch them wiley wimmins
Be careful not to get bamboozled! It's a form of conditioning. The next thing you know, you'll forget how to dress. Oh, afterward you just may forget how to cook, clean, eat bad foods, ..you know, all the fun stuffs.

Then.. you'll be like 50 and clueless. Wondering wth happened :P

:rofl:

PS: I can't dress myself either :D

23. well, not all of us females are good at buying clothes
but if you have a friend who is, then I say go for it.

I'm great at the shirt/tie combo, but when it comes to clothes for me, I stink at it.

27. My wife buys all my clothes
She just loves shopping. I hate it. If we ever have to get dressed up for something she lays out on the bed what she wants me to wear. I really like that arrangement.

28. That's exactly it.
I have no idea what looks good. So I just need a friend to give me an opinion.

It's not always a bad thing to be told what to think. :)
