Women and Clothes...men's perspective -

Lets hear it from them brothers, whats your take on black women and clothes? (this is an open-ended question)
* Do you always have some input on how your woman dresses (fit,style etc) can you calmly get through shopping , planning wardrobe space, packing for vacation ...etc ?

Very very marginal influence..If going out which of these two outfits or pairs of shoes kinda thing and not often. No influence on what she wears on holiday because if i did would not have to lug around half of ton of clothes to go abroad and pay excess duty.
When out shopping some influence. But generally women have not only far more influence on how i dress they are more likely to be adamant e.g no you must wear this than I would be with them..don't really see it my busines to tell women what to wear as the women i have been with tend to dress well, but then so do I if i say so myself. But you know how them stay.  . Shopping is a general breeze and no stress really. If she likes it and i don't it generally gets bought and i shut up. Pointless doing anything else and if she likes it and i don't same thing though she usually more likely to convince me against my better judgement. Then again they are more likely to be fresh and aint walking around with a man not dressed to their liking and on principle I am more flexible..
Wardrobe space forget it..Pure selfishness and girl power. Paid to be have some built in wardrobes which you could store enough European immigrant to make up a complete village, assuming that would finally put an end to female storage issues..Who told me that?..soon find my humble little men's section being taken over..My wife got the expansionist tendencies of a global superpower..But put my foot down and not going to have it and told her to do the unthinkable start getting rid or give away stuff she don't wear and if she needs a hand just in case she has a lapse of memory what things they may be i will with pleasure find time to give assistance.
My ex use to wear a going out dress probably once if pushed and then store it. So you can imagine the space wars we use to have and when i put my foot down she is looking at my shit which in her view should go to make more space.

I have to laugh, I took over the back room (but it ain't for clothes) !! Got my own little thang going on in there now.

I thought that was the allotment or garden shed. Best thing for a man to do is take over the coldest room in the house, she ain't going in there (but she might store in there) !! Unfortunately, my man had on of the warmest rooms and we women like that!

Like I said to my son the other day - in the house I rule, don't matter what woman (ooman) is in the house, that is her domain. out there, my son (Fem' points to the world outside the front door) is your domain, go and get it and I will have a soft bed for you everytime you return home from your sojourn's, wars and man time. Women roam a house like a man roams the earth - give her the space K, cha!

Your assumption is absolutely incorrect and so what if I was? Furthermore, this is a lighthearted thread - can I get a witness
