oh, i agree about wrinkles. though for me, the solution is dynamic clothes. imho, most modeled wrinkles look as bad as not having any because they don't fit the pose at all.
i think the standards for men are higher (with women's clothes, as long as they're showing cleavage or form fitting, most people don't care), and that there's a lot less tolerance for skin tight. i have possibly one pair of conforming pants that will work in anything other than a standing position. and by work i mean not illicit laughter about balloon pants from my boyfriend when he looks over my shoulder. and that's using products by the best merchants in the marketplace.
then again, i love the Shadow Dancer top and leg wraps, but i can't bring myself to buy the male version because it's so low detail and without the cool wraps or anything equivalent. i'm not sure why a guy wouldn't want shin protection that holds a knife, but if necessary, arm wraps would certainly be gender appropriate.
i guess it just bothers me that after males get pretty detailed contemporary clothes, people still complain, while i know of few or no female equivalents of similar quality for certain products. for instance, i'm not sure i know where to find one good pair of flats, while i have several sources of good work casual shoes for men and have seen people complain about them. and i've seen tons of complaints about the shoulders on M3 clothes, while similar vicky clothes had the same problem, but no one seemed to care.
