I guess it's a guy thing.   I do have several pairs of the same socks, but I have lots of different styles.  My daughter on the other hand....do they make kids socks that you can buy like ones in a pack?  Every pack that we get for her is pink with purple, and the next stripes, and the next stars etc.   A 6 pack of socks that are CLOSE, each pair is just slightly different. No two pairs alike.  I have BAGS of socks that don't match. Every few months I match the bags of missing socks and come up with 20 pairs.
