How true

When men get married, they lose much more than women in the same situation. Before marriage, most men can dress themselves, more or less, drive a car without instructions, eat food without making too much of a mess, and generally muddle through life blissfully unaware that everything they are doing is wrong.

Example: Getting ready for a party or family get-together, you (the man) put on clean underwear, socks, jeans and a shirt. Checking in the mirror, you note with satisfation that all the naughty parts are hidden, and no holes are apparent. Smiling smuggly, you exit the bedroom and stand in front of the woman you plan to be with all your life. "How do I look, honey?" you ask, knowing she'll be overjoyed to see her man decked out in his splendor. Your wife barely glances at you and says "You're not wearing THAT, are you?" Thinking fast, you reply, "Why, no. Of course not. I just put this on to show you what I WOULDN'T wear this evening. What do you think I should wear?" She rattles off some discriptive words that sound like English. Words such as taupe, flair-front, crew neck, french cuff (which sounds a lot like some kinky sex thing, but isn't), single breasted (ditto the last parentheses), and cordovans. As she winds down, one thing sticks in your mind, "She said the socks and tie should match."

Every man knows that if he sees another man with matching socks and tie, the man is wearing a gift. But you do your best, and eventually she allows you to step out in public.
