Love is ... a pair of really good jeans

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 "####### 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.

Gee, and here I thought it was my cats!!! Being more reliable that is . . . giving them up for a man??? nahhhhhhhhhhhh . . . . but giving up sex??? That's what the bedroom door is for, hehe! (RE: that other topic about kids in da house) . . . keeps the cats out.

Now the clothes should just be in the closet . . . . and yes my closets are all full of clothes I've had for longer than the men in my life, LOL! I keep favorite items a long time but it sounds like time to clean out the closets again!! Seriously though, I have a dress that my mom wore when she was young .. . . so the dress is older than me!!!

I love clothes and it is pretty awesome to get new ones, but I sure wouldn't give up sex for a year for a closet full of new clothes. Now a closet full of new shoes is a different story. :lol:

The poll was flawed. It should have asked the women what would they rather have, sex with any man of their choosing, or a new wardrobe.

I see another flaw in the study. They only polled "about 1,000 women from 10 U.S. cities." Hardly a fair representation, if you ask me. First off, a thousand women really isn't that much -- not considering women are 51% of the population; the study should've polled far, far for participants. Second, there were only 10 cities invovled and the study doesn't say which ones. To compound that, the study seems limited to the United States, and as we all know here, women come from many other countries as well.

True. And I'm sure age comes into play as well.
