I don't think LIEs are going to identify as much with this, maybe not even male EIEs.

For me personally:

My concern about my appearance is somewhat unstable. I don't spontaneously think about it at all but in times when I do think about it (like, when getting dressed) I am just plain paranoid about it if I try to wear a colour or style I have not worn 100 times successfully before (this is why I usually wear all black if I can help it).

I can relate to the second point if you totally remove the part about splurging on handbags. I really don't give a damn about handbags as long as it is big enough and has enough pockets for its intended purpose (heck, I don't even know what the good designer labels are... my mum tries to educate me actually but I just don't care).

Yes, I am cheap. I spend only half my means (would be less if I was not paying off my laptop), I am extremely reluctant to buy anything at RRP even if I really need it (surely I can find a cheaper equivalent somewhere else?), I use open-source software wherever possible (as long as I am confident that it does the job just as well), I watch vigilantly for sales.
the handbags thing was just an example that i thought mite clarify what i was trying to say- obviously for males this most likely won't apply.
