My DH does spend money on shoes but he only needs 2 pairs for work. He can wear them year round and most of the time they can be resoled and he gets a lot of years out of them. His average shoe cost is about $100 per pair. I have at least 8 pairs of shoes and they all are worn at different times of the year and they average $60-80 a pair.
DH's haircut costs $8.00 - mine cost $45. He does get his cut every 4 weeks but I get mine done every 8 weeks so mine is much more expensive.
The list could go on and on.

There is a difference between going basis with necessity needs and splurging. Do women really need the perfumed soap when they can get by with regular dove soap? For several women, cute clothing’s and style is more of a hobby and that should be considered when comparing men vs women.
I am a women and just as happy as my guy to shop for clothes at Target. Underwear’s do not cost 6 dollars for one! You can buy 4 packs for 6 dollars at least. But I do think women have more article of clothing’s need more by needing bras which is something men do not need is where I can see that cost more than men beside medical.
Buying more expensive name brand clothing’s, fancier materials and etc is a luxury outside the basic necessity like we can get at Target or even goodwill might have some good finds.
Cost cutters charge the same for men and women with the basic but if you have a more advance style cut, you would have to pay more for which is a choice and not a necessity.
