In one clothing store you try on some new jeans... boom... they fit perfectly! Looks like I'm a size 2. You remember the size as you proceed to the next store... only to try on multiple size 2s and find that the waists are 3 inches too big!
Men's pants are sized very perfectly with 2 numbers that you know will fit you every time. I understand this is difficult to implement for women due to changing styles and other factors, but this is not what I expect!

Here are some reasons why:
- When online shopping, you no longer will worry about clothes not fitting you and having to check complicated sizing numbers that some stores don't even provide
- No need to try on 20 clothing items before you buy them when a store has a huge sale
- No disappointment in seeing a beautiful piece of clothing in your size... except it's not really your size
