Explains why 90% of men look terrible?

I don't believe it for a second.

I spend as much time shopping for clothes for my wife as she does.

In my household, 100% of the men's clothes are bought by men and 50% of the women's clothes are bought by men.

Bollocks, isn't it? Or is it real and this is the fact because of 90% men are dressed like ****?!

I saw an episode of wife swap a few months back where the guy had his clothes laid out by his wife every night for the next day. The new wife couldnt believe it.

She took him shopping to Walmart for clothes and he couldn't pick anything out for himself ... he had always had his clothes bought for him by his mum and then by his wife...so I guess its not unheard of.

Btw he did end up buying some things, but there was no marked difference between the way he dressed himself or the way his wife dressed him. He still looked like shite.

In other breaking news, 90% of statistics are made up by idiots who have no backing for their claims, now lets go back to the studio Jim.
