NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters Life!) - For most women, the
choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple --
they go for the clothes.
Women on average say they would be willing to give up
sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel,
with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three
years in exchange for new duds, according to a new
survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities.
Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be
worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than
give up sex for a month.
"Some people say clothes make the man, but the right
clothes can even replace him," fashion designer,
stylist and TV personality Carson Kressley from the
reality TV show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" said
in a statement accompanying the poll.
The study also suggested that clothes often wear
better than relationships.
The average woman between 18 and 54 years of age has
hung on to her favorite article of clothing for 12 and
a half years, a year longer than she's held on to her
longest relationship.
Almost three-quarters of respondents, or 70 percent,
also said they believed in love at first sight when it
came to finding the perfect article of clothing, while
only 54 percent of women were as confident in spotting
the right man.
Nearly half of the women, or 48 percent, taking part
in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said
their favorite article of clothing was more reliable
than their man in giving them confidence and making
them feel sexy.
