True. Although I think that men generally are getting better at choosing clothes for women.

What about being a man and telling the wench she should feel lucky to get flowers and something to eat. Then send her home to do the ironing while you stay out on the razzle.

That's what I'd do not

if you are going to head down the lingerie route here's a couple tips learnt the hard way;
- don't buy crotchless - just not a good idea
- always go for a small size - better her take it back than think you reckon her ar*e is huge
Ha Ha
