    It's only "obsessed" if you accept it's a bad thing.

    People have a glass of orange juice every day: are they obsessed with orange juice?

    No, they have a healthy appetite for something which is good for them.


    You could always ask why your wife is obsessed with shoes. Said the single guy.

    My wife's OK with the kilts.
    In-laws, apparently, are convinced it's a mid-life crisis, or I'm having an affair.
    Guess I am . . . .

    Any obsession is a serious matter. But fear not... the xmarksthescot treatment center has many advisors that know just what to do.

    OK, so what's her obsession... shoes, earings, slacks, etc.

    same difference.

    I think the problem is that the women are seeing their own "obsessions" from the other side. For years, women have had such a wide variety of choices in their clothes, whereas men had considerably less. Lets face it, one pair of jeans is much like another. With kilts, however, there is a wide variety of choices. Even if you stick with the traditional knife-pleated tailored tartan kilt, you have thousands of choices for a tartan. When you add in solid colors and the different styles, the choices multiply. So, while for such a long time men have been asking "Why do you need so many different pairs of shoes (or blouses, or skirts, etc)?", the women in a kilt wearing man's life now have to ask "Why do you need so many kilts?"

    Actually, my lady is pretty moderate when it comes to her clothing, though she does have a lot more than I do.

    My post was pretty much tongue-in-cheek!!! But the responses are *twitch*...

    reassuring...

    No, really.....
