      My wife gets mad at me when she asks my opinion between different shoes. “Which ones are more comfortable?” They both look great, but we’re going to be standing and walking a lot.

          Could be internalised patriarchy. Sometimes, when women ask a mans opinion on a few options, they’re not actually interested in the man’s opinion. They want to hear their own opinion, just said in a mans voice.

        It’s a similar story with cars, unless you’re driving an exotic of some type, only other car people care.

      It’s like that study that showed that the size of men’s pecs are of interest to other men, women don’t really look at them as indicators of attractiveness

      #notallwomen sweeping generalisation etc etc

      Let other people enjoy their preferences. Some people get very particular about console/IDE fonts, keyboard switches, T-shirt fabric blends, fork shape, guitar string material, etc. Others like fashion and style. Some like architecture and interior design. Let people enjoy things, and get deep in the weeds on minute differences if they want to.
