How many men refuse to toss out their old, stained, hole laden white t-shirts/undies?

Women simply don't understand the connection a man has with his old, stretched out, white, dinghy t-shirts and undies. All they want to do is toss them out, but they don't understand that we've built a special bond and it's sort of becomes like a family member and you never turn your back on family.

Recently my girlfriend thought she would surprise me by tossing out my old t-shirts and undies, but it felt like I had lost a family member. The good news is the trash didn't get picked up until the next day, so I was able to rescue them!

Being a gentleman and wanting to keep the peace, I still kept the new t-shirts and undies she had gotten, but I absolutely have no intention of ever wearing them.

Takes years to get a shirt into proper shape. Not going to toss it because it gets a couple of holes in it.

Before I went synthetic, undershirts were standard Hanes or Fruit of the Loom and had zero sentiment. Buy another five pack, move on. Sorry to sound like TulaneLSU, but mother ingrained in me that my dad's tendency to wear rat fricked tshirts and underwear (in uniform) was a huge turn off before I hit puberty, and opinion was solidified.

But my LSU Natty shirt from 2003? Still have it, but just don't wear it, and not just because I'm fat now. Same with UF 1997 shirt, etc. Undershirts and boxer briefs are expendable.

Throw them out? They are perfect oil/ grease rags for cleaning guns and shop duties.

When they are hole laden, they can be mended. I took some old T shirts that were too far gone to fix and used them to patch holes.

Mine eventually get used for something. I live a very rural life with the nearest store 16 miles away so if we are out of tp.... an old t-shirt gets cut up. One final use.

A few of my old shirts got cut into strips to tie tomatoe plants to stakes. I do have a few old shirts that I just can't cut up for one sentimental reason or another

Old t-shirts get worn till threads. Holes in underwear get tossed regularly. The boxer briefs being made today just don’t last very long anymore.

I can’t believe the thieves that cleaned out my house and cut the water pipe ruining the structure even took all my underwear.

Just as well. Since my health collapsed I can’t wear elastic around my waist so I have learned to go commando 24/7/365. (waistbands are too tight with elastic and the compression either causes pain and/or nausea)

Telling you folks that literally everything I own fits in one medium size closet and a 2 drawer nightstand. Excluding my my desktop and laptop pc’s. My total possessions are small enough and light enough that many of you take more than I own when you go on vacation. But as a medically disabled person it’s also OK, I don’t have to worry about making a mess since I lack the materials to do so.

Tshirts, yes. Underwear, I’m not wearing with holes. I go through a 12 pack every year I feel like.

When it gets holes it gets tossed. Goes for tshirts, underwear, socks. I wear them til they are done, but once I see a hole they go in the garbage

I usually keep them in the drawer for using when working around the house and knowing they will get messed up even further due to oil, paint, etc.


Once they get to the throw away stage, they get used as shop rags-------THEN eventually get tossed.

The price of socks and underwear is to damn high to just buy new ones.

This is my kind of dude! Women don't understand that they don't fit perfect overnight and it's like a piece of art that takes time to get it perfect. A little hole here and there is quick fix with some super glue. I don't even fix all those holes because if they provide good ventilation and air flow, I ain't touching them!
