I just have to reply to this because you guys make women seem so pathetic.
I'm a woman and believe me, this has nothing to do with society or evolution or insecurity. All women are creative left-brained thinkers. We like beauty and art and all those non-practical things men rarely care for. Looking pretty is like art to us--it's a hobby. We enjoy striving for it.
For example, we spend hours getting ready for a date or for the club not because we want to impress some guy but rather because we actually have fun getting ready. But of course that baffles some of you. "What? You mean she's not spending all that time getting ready for me?"Oh, you've so much to learn.

Yeah men aren't any less susceptible to trends than women... but at the end of the day Pink was right about the artistic part. It's just about aesthetics and the response it elicits. Years of positive reinforcement will dictate the subconcious... why do women obsess about smell goods? It's pleasant to our senses ...

Of course I care about getting looks when I go out. If you drive a nice car or have on some fancy sneakers, don't you like it when people stare?
My point is that men shouldn't assume that women don't have fun making themselves pretty. It's not a chore.
These dudes won't admit that. Let them tell it they love shoes because it makes them feel warm and toasty inside. Not for the attention it gets from other men.

I see what you mean, but how much of NT actually represents a sizable group of people in real life? Most people don't care about shoes, and even NTers who have great collections eventually start to piece them out and leave the shoe game.
Go to a coffee shop, or a starbucks, or a mall, heck just walk down the street and note what people wear. Men have all kinds of shoes, they have the Jordans like you mentioned, running shoes, slides, work boots, loafers, boat shoes, I mean you walk on to the street in any city and you'd be hard pressed to find two people wearing the same shoes. And that's just shoes. How many men share similar clothes? I'm not talking about if you walk into a House of Hoops and everyone's wearing Cool Greys, but just on the street. Now check out what women wear - not all, but a huge amount all have very similar, if not the same styles. In the winter, they often wear the same brands and products even, I'm sure you've seen the whole uggs and fleece outfit many times.
Is it because there is only one real trend at a time for women but many at a time for men?
And I understand society pressures women to look a certain way, but men have societal pressures also. But whenever you read about identity issues in youth today, it's about how young girls are trying to look "beautiful". What about young boys? Why don't they do drastic things to change the way they appear/act? Because society also has pressures on men, but you never see a lot of boys trying hard at a really young age to be muscular/a baller/getting all the girls, while tons of pre-high school girls try to look pretty.
I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, but you seem to have a good viewpoint on this so can you answer any of what I just posted? I think everyone in here had some great reasons.

Exactly.
If you're an ugly dude, you can supplement with:
charm/ personality
physique
cash
intelligence
fake having cash
fake your personality
If you're an ugly girl the only thing you can supplement with is a nice body and that body better be bangin. Dudes don't really care off the bat about your personality or your money or your intelligence. As sad as that is, that's the truth. A girl can have a high IQ and have a great personality but if she's ugly and doesn't have a bangin body then most dudes won't even give her a look.

Nothing have you said doesn't apply to men though? Men don't try to be rich or attractive? Since when? Obviously many don't quite make it, but to assume that they don't care about it is asinine? Young boys aren't trying to get a baller and all the girls? Where do you live? I guess the "rich white neighborhood" types are different, but that !$%@ couldn't be further from the truth.

Evolution of women... the need for women to look good became synonymous to natural instinct regardless of social pressure. Some really overdo it but the mere fact that you want to look good & neat is already automatic for almost everyone, not just for women.

a woman's social value in society is largely based on her attractiveness..
