Men will take 10 minutes longer to get ready for their wedding day than they do to go to the gym?

I had a few buddies tie the knot over the last 12 months... They definitely got ready in under 10. And not everyone was a slob. What are your thoughts?

Lol definitely true

False!!!

This has always been... There are a few logical reasons for it...

• Men's Fashion is a bit of a cookie cutter situation. You're not staring at the closet for what to wear. Most of the time some woman has "taught" you how to assemble your clothes. Once that look is set you're like a ken doll putting the "work outfit" or the "gym outfit" or the "black tie outfit".
• Male Grooming Routine isn't a same-day thing. Aside from showering and slapping on some cologne, nothing else the guy is doing to himself on his special day is different from what he does for the gym. The hair is cut a few days before. The stylist isn't coming in to do it. The... trimming... isn't happening the same day, but also a few days before. The outfit is selected months before (usually by the bride) so she knows it's gonna look good on him. There's not much left to do.
• Men's Ego tells them they're good enough. The eternally baffling thing about most guys is that no matter WHAT they look like, on their wedding day they're in fight-or-flight mode... and in warrior mode their nerves are overwhelming them so looking in the mirror is deprioritized to some degree. He looks to make sure he doesn't seem overly anxious, says "Ok, we're good," and heads out to his big day like a good little soldier.
• Men's buddies have his back. If something doesn't look right you know the guy's friends are gonna make fun of him... or the maid/matron of honor will tell him something's not right... etc. He knows his posse will make sure he looks sharp enough to stand at the front of the church/temple/etc.

Considering they're preparing for their own financial suicide, why shouldn't they?
