I'm staying at my girlfriends house, and i've put my jeans in the wash.

She then asks me why?

I've always tended to wash my jeans after i've worn them for a week, but she says that they should be washed around once or month or less, that they are like coats, you should wash them every once in a while.

This concept is new to me, have i been doing it wrong, or is she in the wrong?
 
Like most clothes I was them when they start to smell or look dirty..

At my cousins house they literally wash things after one wear which I find a little insane :p

..Oh pants and socks are an exception to the 'look or smell dirty rule' clean set each day for those :D
 
It goes like this with me:

Vest tops usually one wear
Jeans 3 wears
Skirts 3 wears
Tops over tops 2 wears
Dresses 1 wear
bras 2 wears
pants/socks/tights 1 wear
 
Tops/Underwear = Washed after worn once
Jumpers = don't have them on for long, so when dirt (every week or two)
Jeans = every other week or so, only wear them in evening and weekends as in Trousers during the day
Trousers = after 2/3 wears!
 
I think it is a case of either between the time periods of once a fortnight to once a month.

Or if something visibly is wrong with them. Such as got muddy or spilt something on them.
 
I wear them as much as possible between washes (until they smell really) as they came with a label saying to do that. Usually I'll wash each pair maybe once a month (and I'll have worn them maybe half a dozen times at most during that period) Makes sense to me with jeans...
 
I've *never* had a pair of jeans stink.. do you guys not wipe your butt or something?

They get washed when they get dirty. Which in this weather is weekly, but usually monthly+.
 
I don't think I could manage longer. I get twitchy if I don't have a shower/bath that day. The clothes may not smell but in my head they are dirty and other people will know they are dirty :O
