[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 697487, member: 43545"] She was aware of the male trait of having a very poor memory for anything that was not numbers or what is in front of them at the moment. The women rely on that selective memory to justify any new purchase passed off as "that old thing" when questioned, "is that a new dress....how much did it cost?" We usually only care how good something looks like when it is standing in front of us. I was always finding that a bonus for me, my girl...[s] over the years were all clothes hounds but appreciated because I was lucky to be around a very attractive woman who cared for her appearance as me being the winner. So I never got upset when they spent money on nice clothes and just assumed it was for me. That extended to shopping with them, they took it as a compliment when I voiced preferences for one or another and why when trying things on. I had definite preferences between any two items, just gut reactions and that seemed to convey permission to get something. She never would have needed my permission for anything, I was never a ruler in a home, just a partner. My current GF has excellent taste in style and art and like most women, excellent memories of colors and textures of what is long buried in the depths of her drawers so seeing some scarf or accessory that would work with that long-forgotten item, can create a whole new look for the combination. One of the reasons I do portraits and lifestyle type photography is how appreciative and thrilled my friends are when I can bring out the best of their features, or diminish their least favorable features. Clothes do essentially the same thing for themselves but my camera freezes that moment in time that clothes can't compete with. I will not give photos to women which are not flattering, with a particularly challenging session I might only end up with a few that are flattering enough to give to them. But in others, we might get 100 great views, expressions and perspectives so it is hard to choose.[/s] [/QUOTE]
