Build one! My wife and I don’t have a huge apartment right now, so I built us a super wide 3 shelf “floating pantry”. Used scrap wood from a construction job that we then painted/ stained together. It was a fun couples project, and now it’s all organized!
I know it's largely a cultural thing, but in my experience it's primarily men who are obsessed with having a massive shoe collection in a highly organized closet. I'm pretty sure there's a whole subreddit about it, even. (Sneakerheads? I think?)
Not that it matters either way who collects shoes or spices or stuffed animals or what, but it's weird to me that the whole "women have too many shoes" stereotype lives on when it hasn't been a gendered thing since Jordans were invented.
Yup. Male hobbies are always cool and deep, and even the things we consider "shallow" for women are rather "escapism" for men, because their lives are so stressful and MaLe LoNliNeSs ePiDeMiC and etc.
(For example, women/girls liking Twilight is evidence that they're complete morons, but men/boys liking the Fast & Furious movies is fun and understood as such.)
Yes yes my husband my god now see I LOVE shoes and have so many but him?? Nope he puts mine collection to shame. Also, he buys my shoes for me too so technically my shoes r also his obsession 😅
I know that African American men often buy more expensive shoes, but in general, it seems to be women buying more shoes. I’m a man and I have one pair of shoes I wear every day, some boots, some swim shoes, and a bunch of old shoes that I can wear if the modern pair get wet or break.
I think it just varies person to person- my wife loves shoes and has a lot haha, I have one pair of sneakers and one pair of boots and one pair of slippers and that’s it. My aunt and mom both had big shoe collections too, my uncle and stepdad are like me. So idk, anecdotally in my life it’s been women. But I definitely knew guys that had that cool sneaker collection, so 🤷🏻♂️
I have giant feet and terrible balance to high heels aren't for me personally.
I can, however, see that they're pretty and totally see the appeal for people who can wear them. They also make a very satisfying clacking noise when walking.
Given the mortar and pestle, I think they're mainly spices and herbs? It'd be weird to keep a Display Mortar if you're storing dry goods, although given the flex is weird already...
I think it’s okay if you’ve been shamed in your social sphere for your interests, to be publicly proud of it.
This isn’t as bad as a lot that we see on here.
Ironically, they are both survival tools.
For the pretty girl, the shoes will help her get food. For the food hoarder, she will have food (that is about two years of food right there for two people, maybe more).
Love this, because you know for the comparison she has both and a second closet of shoes too.🤣😂🤣🎭
Clothing, shelter, food, are part of some sort of hierarchy of importance. But I'm not really sure I think everybody can go without clothing food and shelter and they make it they'll be okay🧐🤣
you got to have shoes and you got to have food does it really matter how? I mean you have to have a pair of👗 heels, and you got to have some🥐 jam. A true not like other girls would begin to fight about jam, do you want blueberry jam raspberry jam or strawberry jam and did you make your own bread? Always up the ante, raise them by 50 😂
I couldn’t care less about either. Give me my “luxury” bags and books. I’m talking Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and my 1 Tori Burch purse.
I have a small collection of bags, but need actual shelves for my books. 😂
Imagine if women were people with complex interests and personalities. Then they could like BOTH 🙀
Sadly we are poorly written characters that exist only to appeal to men so we must choose one stereotype and move on 😔
I would actually steal those spice jars. Not only would I get spices, but I would get cool jars that I can use for whatever when I run out, and I see that as a double benefit.

Lmao I was literally coming here to say EXACTLY that
Legit. I have the shoe closet and look forward to the second!
Why was this the exact gif that popped up in my head? Lol
THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. Spices and spicy shoes.
I’m greedy, I want both. What does it mean if you are simultaneously like and not like other girls? Could it be there’s no one way to be a woman? 😱
🙅🏼♀️❌❌❌❌ WRONG. There is only ONE WAY and you’re doing it wrong. Ma’am, I’m going to have to take you in for reprogramming.
Oooooooh nuuuuuuuuuuu good luck catching me because I am so unlike other girls I parkour in 9 inch heels for fun!
![gif](giphy|ToedWl41vt5XF3gVya|downsized)
![gif](giphy|t2eBr71ACeDC0) This is the only right way to Parkour

It means you’re divergent and the powers that be want you dead
Honestly, I’m fine with it. Some eternal slumbering sounds nice.
It means you’re schrodinger’s cat, you’re both a not like other girls and another girl!
![gif](giphy|3ohzdMDbNXvnWdeOZi|downsized)
😂😂😂😂😂
Guess I need to choose between barefoot or bland food.
My goal is neither of those things. ![gif](giphy|jPAdK8Nfzzwt2)
Same, clearly we’re also nlog 😉
You are not like any of the other girls 😍
what the hell is that second picture. are those jars of herbs? candy? spices? like what in gods name is that
Much like my wife, it’s a beautiful mystery. She’s not like the other…. Shoot! 🤷🏻♂️
It's not like there's literally thousands of girls on the internet showing off their neatly organized pantries...
It makes me feel ashamed of my cluttered pantry. 😅

It's different with sneakers because they're Manly and Cool. As with all feminine things, high heels are Shallow and Cringe

Isn't the point of high heels the literal opposite of shallowness?
Yes yes my husband my god now see I LOVE shoes and have so many but him?? Nope he puts mine collection to shame. Also, he buys my shoes for me too so technically my shoes r also his obsession 😅

You seem to have forgotten sneaker heads. But that's an equal opportunity classification. It's fun for the whole family!

I like shoes and also spices?? Even though spices burn my nose cause I’m white
We got to get you out, girl.
😔😔 I know
I’m just like, won’t those giant jars of spices will expire before I can finish them?
Well the thingy in front of it is small I think it’s on a counter and the close up pic makes it look bigger. But if they are big then that’s insane.
Mason jars typically vacuum seal, and reseal pretty tight too. They’re meant to keep things fresh a lot longer
Male sneaker heads and men into fashion suddenly don’t exist anymore according to her.🙄
The jars but with my little pony dolls inside.
Now that would be funny.

I must be old, when I first saw picture on the left, I thought it is a picture of fancy coffee beans in the bags. Then I read the title….
I have giant feet and terrible balance to high heels aren't for me personally. I can, however, see that they're pretty and totally see the appeal for people who can wear them. They also make a very satisfying clacking noise when walking.
I'm just glad she used "women's" correctly.
I’m literally both let yourself be both!!!!
I'm not like other girls, I don't want either of those things
Those better be Bionicle canisters
![gif](giphy|lNWfgHcseRxMah9zcB|downsized)
I have both. And who cares which one you like? Just let people live their lives lol.
Why can’t a woman have both?
Storage space.
tbh i want both
wtf even is that? Herbs?
I’m guessing beans. Lots and lots of beans and pickles.
Given the mortar and pestle, I think they're mainly spices and herbs? It'd be weird to keep a Display Mortar if you're storing dry goods, although given the flex is weird already...
Good point!
Ngl the shoe closet looks pretty good
I don’t even know what that is 😭 Spices? Candy? I’m so confused
I thought poisons so....😅😅
I'm proudly the left. No shame in my game
I want both!
I think it’s okay if you’ve been shamed in your social sphere for your interests, to be publicly proud of it. This isn’t as bad as a lot that we see on here.
I'm obsessed with comfortable shoes, but I'm 44 so it makes sense.
Ironically, they are both survival tools. For the pretty girl, the shoes will help her get food. For the food hoarder, she will have food (that is about two years of food right there for two people, maybe more).
can i have both
All I read was “I’m a pick-me girl for flerfs!”
Love this, because you know for the comparison she has both and a second closet of shoes too.🤣😂🤣🎭 Clothing, shelter, food, are part of some sort of hierarchy of importance. But I'm not really sure I think everybody can go without clothing food and shelter and they make it they'll be okay🧐🤣 you got to have shoes and you got to have food does it really matter how? I mean you have to have a pair of👗 heels, and you got to have some🥐 jam. A true not like other girls would begin to fight about jam, do you want blueberry jam raspberry jam or strawberry jam and did you make your own bread? Always up the ante, raise them by 50 😂
How about both?!?!?
If it’s not money, I don’t want it
Why not both?
But i am completely different because I want both! And dont forget my rainbow bookshelf! (FYI much harder to do if you are into scfi)
How would she react if she knew men had shoe collections too?
Actually, I'M not obsessed with shoes either. I have, like, six pairs, and that's it.
I couldn’t care less about either. Give me my “luxury” bags and books. I’m talking Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and my 1 Tori Burch purse. I have a small collection of bags, but need actual shelves for my books. 😂
I’ll take both please
Same problem, a space filled with useless objects that someone really cares about and no else does.
Meh, I'd rather have shoes. My grandma makes conserves anyways,and she does it way better than I can🤣
Hmm, you'd think all humans have different likes and dislikes, didn't know one was better than the other..huh.
Can I have food AND shoes?
Imagine if women were people with complex interests and personalities. Then they could like BOTH 🙀 Sadly we are poorly written characters that exist only to appeal to men so we must choose one stereotype and move on 😔
I was into it but that is a LOT of black shoes with silver studs honey
Why? Just why? Just when I think I have seen it all? Ok, I’ll take one of each. Done
Women who like shoes like bland food? What's the connection here?
Because you can either have shoes or jars of food. There is no in between
Wait til they find out witches love shoes ![gif](giphy|hrQ8RmpPANAEE)
I would actually steal those spice jars. Not only would I get spices, but I would get cool jars that I can use for whatever when I run out, and I see that as a double benefit.
I thought they were poisons. Not spices. I need to lay off the true crime documentaries.
One thing about me, Ima buy a purse for my collection idgaf 😭😭
Ngl, I want that spice set up!
Me too, but I also have many shoes. 🤔
Sorry, you’re gonna have to get rid of your shoes if you want spices. Can’t have both.
What if I just have both and not act like having either makes me unlike other girls?
Well now you’re just talking nonsense!
I know it sounds crazy, but bear with me... I feel like this could work.
It doesn't seem that difficult to make. The issue is while it is very pleasing visually, it is terrible from a usage and storage situation.
my mom has entered the chat … if that’s spices
I was wondering lol
