I’m a slob and get a lot of stains on my white shirt but my detergent and washing machine is strong enough to take care of it.

No, i’m not’

I just have realistic expectations for myself. I know that I have the hand eye coordination of a five year old and dress to reflect that.

Kinda, but I’m more or less resigned to the inevitability of it and I’m actually proud of myself, like a little kid, when I go out to eat and DON’T somehow end up wearing part of my dinner

Only mildly. Some which I especially like I’ll save for special occasions, but I’m not scared of just wearing a stained shirt to work/the store because clothes are made to be worn and life happens while you’re wearing them and other people know that.

It isn’t paranoia. I know how many items I have had to discard because of small stains. Light colors are a waste of money.

Isn’t everyone?

I own nothing white for that reason.

Clothes are meant to be used. One day, my whites will get stained, and that’s ok. I will buy new ones in the future. So mote it be.

If you live somewhere with mosquitos, you can’t win.

Dark colors: better for stains, worse for avoiding mosquitos

Light colors: worse for stains, better for avoiding mosquitos

Wouldn’t want to embarass yourself

Yes. I don’t really buy white clothing for that reason. I also don’t like black clothing because of lint showing up so easily. Plus it gets really hot where I live. Wearing black out in the sun is just extra miserable.

I don’t like wearing light colors anyways, especially white. I will wear other colors, yes, but nothing too bright.

You gotta give

It’s not paranoia, I put on a white shirt two hours ago and it’s already stained.
