The topic came up as to whether men care if their Significant Other’s underwear should match. To me, this is a no-brainer. Check out why this is so important to me!

Yes, the bra and panties should always, always match. I was surprised to discover that many women, and a shocking number of men, say they don’t think it’s important.

Not important?? Quick true story. The best girlfriend I ever had was a real catch (yes, I fucked that one up, too). A real sport, in the sense that she would do anything to make me happy in or out of the bedroom but mostly in. An up-for-anything kind of gal…costumes, you name it. Sadly, she could not acknowledge the importance of the bra-panty color co-ordination dynamic. I’d drop hints and even come right out and say how important it was to me. She couldn’t see it. It was like she had a blind spot. A tragic, tragic, relationship-derailing blind spot.

I can’t stress enough how much this woman was into being an awesome girlfriend. She did everything to make me feel like a king. Except the matching bra and panty thing. Which made it all the harder to understand why she wouldn’t make the tiny bit of extra effort to match tops and tails.

Let me try to explain it, especially to you ladies. It’s like the difference between getting a gift that’s been nicely wrapped with a bow on top or just being handed a gift still in the store bag that it came from. Are you going to refuse the unwrapped gift? No. But, be honest, it’s a bit of a let-down that you don’t have some nice, attractive wrapping to open. By the way, any of you jerks who are thinking, “He cares about wrapping? How gay”, I would just remind you of what we’re actually talking about here.

It’s like the fancy places that serve you a latte with a cool leaf design made with the milk. It’s not essential to the drink. It’s not going to make a good latte taste any worse. It’s certainly not going to make a bad latte taste any better. It’s just an extra touch that makes you feel special. It doesn’t go unnoticed, at least not by me.

If you need any further proof, try this test. Go to any gentleman’s club in America. Guess what the strippers aren’t wearing. A peach colored bra with lime green panties. I’ve seen strippers that look like Miss America and I’ve seen ones that look like Miss Crystal Meth. But they ALL match their underwear…yes, EVEN THOUGH they’re just “coming off in a few seconds anyway.” Do you think that’s just a coincidence, girls?

Also, before I wrap up, black panties and a white bra do not count as a match. They come as a set when you buy them, don’t they? Treat ‘em like a set. You wouldn’t wear one red, open toe stiletto and on tan jelly, would you?

While I’m talking about underwear, don’t you think it’s weird that hardly anybody makes brown underwear for men? Feel free to run with this if you’re in the garment business. Most men’s underwear is either white or black. Occasionally, grey . I think you’d make a fortune if you made men’s underwear in a dark, chocolate-brown color. I know I’d buy them. This washing underwear after one wearing is for the birds.
