A few weeks ago when we went to Texas we knew we were cutting it closer than I like. We ended up leaving the house about 15 minutes later than I wanted. We hit literally ALL red lights to drop the dog off at boarding. Then we had to drive all the way up to LAX during morning traffic. We got off the 405 and traffic trying to get to the parking and then on the parking shuttle to the terminal were BRUTAL. My wife could tell I was stressed, which makes her mad because she then gets stressed, so she snipes at me for making her stressed, while I'm just hoping we get to the terminal in time to check bags. You're supposed to check bags 45 minutes before a flight. I think we were literally in between the 45th and 46th minute when we dropped them off. Once we did that, *I* could finally relax but my wife had the stress carryover and it took her a LONG time for it to pass.

Y'all are our California dopplegangers.  I can't tell you how exactly like me and Mrs. DeTiger that is.

I haven't checked a bag in years.  It's a stressor, takes forever, and can get lost sometimes.
If I traveled with a woman who only brought a backpack like I do, that would be a colossal turn-on.  
And ladies can fit more clothes in a bag, because they're smaller.  
.
I don't have to take time packing, don't have to wait in that line, don't have to worry about it winding up in Albuquerque, don't have to go to baggage claim, etc.
It's a choice.

We used to be like that, but AA does a great job, and because they put the priority tag on, our bags are in the claims are before we even get there. We have to go through that area anyway, to get to transport, so for us it's great.

I don't bring a carry-on, either.  Just a backpack.

My wife couldn't fit her shoes in a backpack, although she has gotten better about that.

yup, I don't fly often but when I do I'm either for work or extended personal visit.
Requires more clothing than I can fit in a backpack or carry-on
Also, business clothes don't do well in a backpack

I cannot believe that I have something other than cfb fandom in common with fro. 

If you pack a bag that is big enough to necessitate being checked, then you need to relinquish your man-card.

Ever travel abroad for a month? Or travel from Florida to Chicago, then to Cabo, back to Chicago and then back to Florida? In January? Packing for a lot of climate there, which is what we normally do. This year we are going to Cabo, but straight from Florida and back. One large bag will be fine for us.

We do a lot of cooking there, so I need my knives and spices, etc.

It's impossible to not check a bag.

Cruises are nice because they do our laundry, but there are still events on board that require a suit or jacket.

Once you get hitched, the man-card has already been relinquished. 

Go ahead and pack the big bag. The one that matches your wife's purse.

For any extended travel, we pack a large and medium suitcase.  Of course, I have a wife, and we will often be attending events that require dressier clothes.

We're going to Paris and London for two symphonies, our music director is going to be conducting and the ASO is putting the trip together.  We'll be there on both ends as well and needing a lot of different clothes items and shoes.  My camera gear goes in my backpack, though I might not take it for this trip.

I hope to get hard details on that trip soon.  It "sounds" pretty neat to us.

I used to do one day trips for business at times and just did a carry on, back in the day.

I prefer to travel with only carry-on. However for the fairer sex, there are often liquids associated with makeup / toiletries that they bring, which necessitates checking the bag, not necessarily the overall volume they're bringing. I.e. my wife and I usually travel with two carry-on sized roller bags, but we check them as she has things in there that can't be carried on.
