But I still carry lip gloss, hand moisturizer, sunscreen, etc. My DH just jumps and goes. He even says I'm one of the few females who can run out the door, but I still have more stuff than him.
Granted maybe your hubby's hair is as long as mine (little past shoulder), but heck it takes longer to wash and condition hair than a little ole buzz cut. I also blow dry and braid or tie back my hair. My DH wipes the towel and is off and running.
And my one bra costs more than his entire outfit. Yes it can, I've found well made bras costs a lot. They aren't $10, more like $20-30. More if you are super well endowed according to said ladies.
So how do men ever cost more in bare essentials? Maybe toys, but I love the Wii, I love a sports car, I enjoy techie things, I love to travel way more than my DH, I love jewelry (my mom gives me tons), and while I hate to shop I enjoy good food.
Men can eat simpler I think as well. Women go more gourmet foods but smaller portions. Men might eat chips and call it a meal, women usually make something.

Correct.
I may have sounded like I am the type that buys tons of make-up, clothes, etc. In actuality - I use little and I know I have much, much less of most of this "female" stuff compared to the vast majority of women I met. But would I give them up altogether? No.
Even when attempting to pull off the "natural" look, with very subtle make-up (by no means PAINTED, Dolly Parton style...who in the world still wants to do that anyway) - that "natural" look can involve quite a bit of make-up especially if your skin has blotches, redness, you developed bags under eyes, etc. So this is surely not about being PAINTED!
No matter how you put it, women still have more personal expenses than men.
