Men who Shop!
It never ceases to amuse me when I go shopping on a Saturday and go into some of the larger stores (I’m thinking in particular of M&S) and sitting on the chairs outside the changing rooms laden with bags are a collection of husbands and boyfriends waiting patiently (or not) while their wives or partners try on several different outfits. Sometimes the women emerge from the changing room modelling an outfit hoping for some feedback. Some men are good at offering their satorial advice. Others clearly would rather be anyway else than a stuffy, crowded shop on a Saturday afternoon!
Some men absolutely love to shop. Others see it purely as a function rather than a leisure activity. They need a pair of jeans, so they go for a pair of jeans. There is no browsing involved, no picking up things they didn’t go for, they simply go, try on the jeans, pay for them and come home satisfied that the job is done for another 6 months! Why then do women insist on taking men shopping with them? Some do so in the vain hope, that the men will grow to love shopping and develop a real passion for it. If you do go shopping with a man who likes to shop it can be a very worthwhile experience - you get a different perspective on things and can return home with some lovely things you might not have given a second glance to if you’d be shopping with friends. And for the men who don’t enjoy it? I say don’t try to change them. Leave them at home doing something they enjoy and then they’ll have no excuse not to be an enthusiastic spectator for your fashion show when you return home!
