I also think, although I can't be sure, that men are happier conjugating with women they adore. As long as we aren't conjugating verbs. There are much better conjugations to attempt with adored ones. There are some men who prefer to be adored, I suspect that most of them also dye their hair and look in mirrors a lot. Oddly, many women seem to adore them, including some who ought to know better. But we've been through that before.

<<Tassled loafers are casual, and business suits are formal, and they don't belong on the same body at the same time. You can wear anything you like, or nothing, if you prefer, but don't mix your messages.>> We were talking earlier about the 60's and 70's, and i expressed some reservations about them, but one thing I thought about later was that something i really like began then and has continued, at least on the coasts, and at least in my circles, and that is, there are very few events to which one can't go wearing jeans-- if, to pretty fancy ones, one also wears a silk blouse and a good black jacket. Boots are good, too. (For fancier parties, black jeans are better than blue, and earrings are good.) This is a comment about 'mixed messages,' of which i happen to approve. I have a very chic and artistic friend whose variation on the mixed messages style is that she wears long skirts, usually black, or vintage suits (with fancy beading on the jacket, for example) with tee shirts. She wears tee shirts in this way even to formal occasions. The tee shirts are usually of a thin cotton, usually quite worn and rather tight fitting. They are never white. She dips them in odd dyes she makes up by mixing different-colored packets of Rit dye herself in two minutes in the bathroom sink, or in tea. She looks terrific and spends nothing on clothes, since she can wear the same black skirt or black suit with a different tee shirt to all occasions. This is just my vote in favor of mixed messages. Though i do think it's different for women than for men. If a man looks too 'mixed,' he may look simpleminded, and if he looks studied he tends to look, to me, uninteresting. My husband doesn't own a suit. He wouldn't own any clothing at all if I didn't force him to replace items through which his body parts were extruding. He is so oblivious to clothing that i could play pranks on him if i chose, by telling him to wear completely outlandish costumes, lol! [Edit: My husband just looked over my shoulder and has declared that he does, so, own a suit. He doesn't know where it is, but he owns one, he says.]
