Pockets

I think I've just realized one secret to why women often look so good. It has to do with pockets.

They don't use them. Women do not use pockets.

Consequently, it allows them to be sleek and svelte. They don't have odd protuberances creating a craggy, lumpy surface around their midsection.

Men, on the other hand, stuff all sorts of things in their pockets, and then walk around looking like idiots with oddly shaped bulges in all the wrong places. There are probably only two places women really want to see bulges, the zipper and the back pocket, and only one of those matter...

The wallet.
But even that is only figuratively. You can have a credit limit of $200 or $200,000 and the plastic isn't going to change. It stays slim and sexy and doesn't bulge.


So, simplifying my life also includes simplifying my pockets, and has the added bonus of making me look a lot nicer. It's probably pretty rare that I need my Blockbuster card at the drop of a hat, or make an emergency trip to Costco before I get a chance to stop home to pick up the card.

From now on, all I will carry in my pockets is a nice money clip with cash, and ID and a credit card. The phone and keys can be relegated to a jacket pocket. There shouldn't be anything else is so vital that I can't be bothered to have to stop home to get it if I need in that rare, semi-annual event. I can step up and use a messenger bag or blazer for my phone, keys, and anything else.

Simple pockets, sexy guy.
