Alright, I'm just here to spread the word: everyone should have exactly two kinds of socks, hot weather socks and cold weather socks. That's it. This is my life-hack: all of your socks should match on their own. No one should dig through their laundry to match socks. Pick a brand, and a style, which you like and enjoy, and just go with it. Those are your socks now. You can of course adjust this with time and personal needs. Any two you pick up should match, depending on season.

This is my mission on this planet. I'm here to free everyone from sock slavery. We've moved past this as a society. So this is where this goes:

No one needs novelty socks like you get at Christmas from the well-intentioned and ill-informed people in your life. Yes, I got some weird socks at Christmas, and no, I'm not happy about it. It's a weird gift. It's an imposition. "How about those socks," they'll ask me next Thanksgiving. "They're great," I'll lie, "Very comfortable. Warm. Soft." I know that those socks have been in a landfill for seven months. I won't even donate the novelty socks, because no one should have to suffer through non-standard socks.

I have told people about my sock system, and they will not listen or respect it. They keep buying me one-of socks. What did I get for Christmas this year? More non-standard socks. And they are going in the trash. Where non-standard socks belong.

Standardize socks, and don't give people impositional gifts. These are my thoughts on Christmas, and also socks.

Why do men's socks come in pairs and not in groups of three?

let's assume there is a third category of sexy socks, which is kind of out of my purview. it doesn't pass my personal test for living, but fine. whatever. standard socks, and then sexy socks for degenerates who hate order in their lives.

Why do I feel more naked when only wearing socks than when wearing nothing at all?

But here you've allowed doubt to enter your mind. You are lost.
You must spend time with your sock drawer in meditation. In its perfection, find truth.

I try to make sure the heel & toe patterns match, but the colours are optional.

Socks are just little towels you wear on your feet, they deserve no serious contemplation unless they make your nipples hard.

Your insistence on matching colours shows you are still enslaved by socks.

I couldn't personally do this, but it seems... sensible. I respect it and it's inline with the Principle.

I'm not buying this line of reasoning mainly because you've entirely neglected a key stock category - cock socks for keeping your willie warm

Uh, those are called "vaginas," and the women who own them usually aren't happy about being kept in a chest of drawers when not in use.
