There are some facts strange enough to be entirely unforeseen, but also seem obvious once stated. I think a new department store study of men falls into that category.
According to a department store, men buy pants for a mere 17 years of their lives, with the women in their life shopping for male underwear most of the time...Do my married friends find this to be one of the great advantages of wedded bliss? I will admit that it is not one of the aspects that makes me look forward to it for myself.
A survey of Debenham shoppers suggested that throughout their childhood and teenage years boys rely on their mothers to pick out their underwear. After a brief period of independence between the ages of 19 and 36 when men chose their own boxers or briefs, they then settle down and hand over the responsibilities to their girlfriends or wives.

I am still buying my own... but I am also under 36.
I buy my own, and am older than 36 :)
I tend to buy my own when I need it, but I'm picky about my clothes and don't enjoy shopping so I don't get new clothes all that often. I too am younger than 36 though.
Hubby and I were married for quiet some time before his mom stopped sending him socks and underwear in the mail and giving them as Christmas gifts. I had expected him to buy his own but had to give up on that once I saw the condition of what I was pulling out of the washing machine.
