Subject: 18 pairs of black pants?! WTF?

I was doing laundry last night, and I went to the dark pants section of my closet, then to hang up a pair of black pants. It just hit me, "WOW!! I have a lot of pairs of black pants!"  I have some hangers that have 2 pairs on them.

So I decide to count them. We have categories for different kinds of black pants, work, casual, capri, dress, and formal dress (like Christmas parties, theatre, etc). What did I come up with?  18!!!

My next reaction is, "OMG, that is so much $$ that I could have spent on sports gear." So I decide to consolidate to make room for my wetsuit, it was hiding in the back and I want it up front so I can see it all the time, and I was only able to part with one pair of them. Logically I know that I probably only wear a couple of pairs, but this is what girls do. Do I really need 3 pairs of pinstripe black pants? Obviously the answer is yes.

Guys, I'm sure you have stories about your SO's like this, things you just don't understand.

Black is slimming and it goes with everything. I have not met a woman yet who thought she was so great looking that a pair of black pants did not improve her outlook on her booty!

Black pants should be purchased in quantity because of how they make a woman feel about her hind end. You own those pants and own them with pride!

I dress fine thank you very much. However, I probably should wear the black pants more and not my workout clothes. I wear them everywhere...dinner, grocery, errands, etc. I've even worn them to work. Its just quicker that way to afternoon workouts.

YOU COULD WORK OUT IN THEM!

Kidding lol.

Black pants are ALWAYS in style.. well not those 80's stirrup jobs, if you have any of those don't post it. You look way too stylish to have them tho, not to mention too young.

My wife begs me to buy new clothes all the time. When I finally relent, I got to walmart and buy a whole wardrobe for $49.99. Any guy that pays $40 for a name brand polo shirt, or $80 for a pair of dress pants is a sucker IMHO.

Good gawd!!!! 

I can tick off the clothes I own....3 pairs dress pants, 2 pairs of casual khaki (1 of which I've had since high school and still wear them everywhere), 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of cargo pants, 1 pair of Carhartt work pants for all that rugged tractor driving!  Like 10 shirts (3 or 4 dress shirts, the rest are polo type of things), 4 or 5 ties, 2 suits, and about 2,000,000 t shirts! 

I definately won't win any best dressed awards.  It's funny though, you open my closet and there's like 20 hangers and then t-shirts folded up and crammed everywhere.  Oh yeah, and like 3 pairs of shorts, 1 of which are my jams which I love.

My rule of thumb: if you have not worn it for a year, throw it out!

My wife's rule of thumb: I have not worn it in ten years BUT I may wear it again some day.

What about shoes?  Am I a "man freak" if I own too many shoes?  The crazy thing is that I can justify each pair: black dress, brown dress, running, old running (for lounging), Birkenstocks, Chacos, work boots, light hikers, flip-flops, Vans, and cycling shoes (which I really shoudn't count). 

Too many?

I call those "F*** me pants", "A$$ pants", or "Sorority ***** pants". Obviously, I don't wear them.

You'd be luck to find 18 pairs of underwear in my wardrobe, much less 18 of the same color anything. I just looked and including things like ski pants, I own 6 pairs ofpants all together. Two pairs of shorts. I do have an endless supply oftank tops though (ok, so 22, but that's a LOT of clothes in my book).
