Working in menswear certainly has its perks...

Hello blogosphere!

Well, firstly I'd like to say thank you to the lovely Caitlin who decided to create this blog for us :P [I was lazy and couldn't be arsed working it out haha]

So I guess I'll try my hand at blogging something!

Both Caity and I work in mens fashion.. and I tell you what, there are sure some great things about menswear. Let me list them for you :)

1) Besides being a great perving tool, being in menswear means you get to play dress-up with men as much as you like. [true, this can be a disadvantage when they're old or seedy, but if they're young and hot.. mmmm]

2) Men are so decisive. Whenever I am stuck in ladies fashion, I literally want to smack my head into a wall. Women can NEVER decide what they want, and they will spend 40 minutes wasting your time trying on everything, only to decide they don't want anything. Men, on the other hand, will walk in, ask for a shirt, you'll show them two and they won't even try them on - they'll just buy them. I LOVE it.

3) Men are not NEARLY as disgusting and dirty as women. Excluding feral boys who come and pee in the fitting rooms [yes, they are just that grose], men are generally pretty tidy. They will gather all the packaging from business shirts and bring them up to your counter, or they will at least try and hang garments back on the hanger [even if it's actually backwards or sideways]. Women, however, will take 20 items into the fitting room and leave them in a giant heap on the floor. They leave their used lingerie in the fitting rooms, or leave dirty baby nappies wrapped up in a jumper on the floor for us to clean out. Yes, women can be seriously dirty.

4) When a man comes in asking me to outfit him for a night out, he will listen attentively to everything I tell him. He will try everything I suggest on, and more often than not will trust my judgement and buy at least two of the five items I show him. Women though, will hum and har over anything I show them, and eventually just tell me we don't have what they're looking for. [I will say however that in intimate apparel that is generally a different story - they are usually very happy to hear what I have to say lol]

5) Lastly, men can be ridiculously friendly. I love it how all I have to do is ask them how their day has been, and suddenly it becomes a massive chat about the Broncos game on Friday. If I ask women, [especially if I'm in childrenswear], it turns into a rant about how crappy service is here now, blah blah blah.

I'm sure I could list more things but that's all I can think of for now. Don't get me wrong, I do think women are amazing [I am one, of course!] and I do have respect for them. But honestly - men can be so much easier to deal with!

That's all for today kids. Follow Caity and I - plenty more awesomeness to come!! :)
