NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters Life!) - For most women, the choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple -- they go for the clothes.

Women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds, according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities.
Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than give up sex for a month.
"Some people say clothes make the man, but the right clothes can even replace him," fashion designer, stylist and TV personality Carson Kressley from the reality TV show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" said in a statement accompanying the poll.
The study also suggested that clothes often wear better than relationships.
The average woman between 18 and 54 years of age has hung on to her favorite article of clothing for 12 and a half years, a year longer than she's held on to her longest relationship.
Almost three-quarters of respondents, or 70 percent, also said they believed in love at first sight when it came to finding the perfect article of clothing, while only 54 percent of women were as confident in spotting the right man.
Nearly half of the women, or 48 percent, taking part in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said their favorite article of clothing was more reliable than their man in giving them confidence and making them feel sexy.

That's about 100 women per city. I don't think too many women in my area were in that study. I hope you guys don't date any of the women that were surveyed.

Women are overrated anyway. Fast cars are so much more fun. On top of that, you don't need to take any bullshit from them

If someone told me that clothes are better than fair sex, then I'd think he was a little self-centered but not certifiable.

If he said they're better than great sex, I would doubt his judgment on just about everything.

I'd still want to know who his tailor is, though.

Touche!

I LOVE this forum!!

However, there is indeed something wonderful to be said about finding (and marrying) the right woman. Everything else is secondary, and even pales in comparison, to a good mate.

I've had a couple of 15 month dry spells before. I'd take the clothes, as long as I could choose whatever I wanted and price was no object, **** yeah I'd take the clothes.

I do indeed view my wardrobe the same way I view the fairer sex. I want a nice variety of casual and formal, vintage and contemporary, and tight and loose
