Well, believe it or not, there are women out there that do refuse to wear jeans. They would say "you'd never, ever find a pair of jeans in my closet". There are those that do wear high heels with jeans and, being the old "former country boy/former rodeo cowboy" I was, I never liked the look. Heck, I never liked the look of jeans tucked inside of cowboy boots either (for women). Both things, high heels/jeans and jeans tucked into cowboy boots are "big city" type things to me. My wife never wore either. And, having been in the "western/cowboy" areas of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, I never seen that. Just don't get me started on the dressing difference between "big city" ladies and country/farm/ranch ladies. I've seen both and definitely know there's a difference.
I think we are talking about 2 different type of jeans. There are the western type and then the kind that's fashionable and you can wear with heels. There is quite a variety also and you can pay as much as a few hundred dollars for a pair. I like my skinny jeans...
Yes, there are "boot" type jeans for men and women and there are fairly tight jeans for women who like to wear them with high heels. I've never been a "high heels" liking guy though. Joking, but true, when I was single, I would never date a women who wore high heels and drank wine. Could never afford to take them out on a date. Absolutely nothing wrong with a lady that wears high heels and drinks expensive wine, but just wasn't for me. Oppps, got off the topic here.
I think both men and women are very happy as long as a nice amount of money is included...........especially at our age/at retirement. I still say, and will always say, having enough money is a major key to happiness.
Men in my opinion seem to be happier because they do not show their emotions as openly as women even though many times I feel they do experience deep emotions the same as women do. Their pride often will not let them show or admit to what they perceive as a "weakness" which unhappiness would be considered as. Men are also happier because for the most part they do not have to figure out what to cook every day!
Unless they are men like me, that do 90% of the cooking when we eat at home. I can wear my emotions on my sleeve, at times. Wife has seen that and it makes her very happy that I can get "teary eyed" at the same time she can.
