      • That’s fair. My wife probably controls too much as she brings stuff home that she sees. - By cp September 25, 2026 at 02:17:54 PM
  • My wife buys 100% of my wardrobe (save the M gear). I like everything she buys and I never have to think about what I’m wearing. It’s amazing.* - By Lodz September 25, 2026 at 02:10:37 PM

    • There’s one for Quince I’ve been seeing a lot lately. It seems to mostly be for pants…emphasizing how much better his butt will look*** - By Craig September 25, 2026 at 02:14:28 PM
