Why do men hate shopping,like when we ladies like to spend a day at a mall, buying clothes,shoes, bags ect. They nag, comment on the prices, or say your wardrope is stuffed with clothes why buy more or just say that looks good on you, now lets go....or stand outside paceing up and down like a ice bear..????or a pregnant about to give birth....
While men can talk endlessly over Football, cars, boys toys...ect. and when we show no interest they get pissed off.... Or say shut up and get me a beer...
Like buying a new car, they want to to come, but when we give a comment, they ignore and buy what they want anyway, why bother ask our comment in the first place. and then its his car...oh!boy dont touch the wheels.... Do we nag too when it comes to that..???
Is there no comprimise...when it comes to each others needs...

Yes, you are right – they are completely useless when you need an advice about the colour or design…
But they are very useful at check out when you need to pay the bill and to carry all the bags and packages.
So I think, one has to brace yourself and allow them not only to live, but even to be themselves.
Because it goes against all logic with regards to women and shopping, you go to the first shop try on 10 items then spend 3 hours doing the same in every other store and then return to the first one and buy the same first dress you tried on
Men tend to go to one shop, buy the first item that looks ok and back home to watch the TV
Unless of course its a car then we need to test drive, compare with every other car and then debate with our mates the pros and cons, sure we ask our ladies opinion but when they just say "Any car as long as it's pink" we tend to just smile say yes dear and go our own way

See its not a HUGE deal for me whether they want to go shopping or not. Sometimes I ACTUALLY PREFER if they didn't. Leave me alone to go shop for my clothes, books, electronics and other stuff that I like to spend hours doing.
I won't have to listen to nagging or see pacing. In fact I call up willing female friends and we have a blast. Problem solved. I also find some of the stuff they shop for interesting too - SOME not all of it. If we have to shop for stuff together I'm flexible there too. My solution find a man that actually like to go shopping with you. Its hard to stand up outside all the time while someone shops for things that reall don't interest you, so I would not take all day with the shopping,knowing how they feel. Divide it up. Go to some of the places that he likes to shop and he can go to some of yours - fair is fair, nobody gets to feel like their needs aren't being met. Me, I'm gonna go find one that likes to shop.

Here in Sweden there are children-corners with toys at some large stores: you can leave your kid there while you are shopping. I think it would be good to have men-corners as well, with toys for big boys: TV, newspapers, beer…

I don't like shopping!
Try doing it all on-line whenever possible.
On the other hand, not all men hate shopping. My friend's husband loves shopping for clothes,shoes, bags, etc.
I went with them couple of times - it was exhausting! He would make as try every piece of clothing on and wouldn't miss any detail - "too short, too long, not tailored very well, sleeves look odd, etc.,etc. ..."
Oh, never again
Now, I do go shopping with her, but make sure her husband doesn't drag along.

........Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........How about a 'Woman's' corner too......there you all can have your 'Moan' and 'Bleep' how bad and awful Men are........
ahem, this thread wants to give us female's view. At this time i am only taking application of females. no application is being accepted for the position of "view". but we will keep your applications in file. Should there be any need of "view" (by females), we will contact you.
HotrodLarrys: Sounds to me He just wanted you both to know, he was Femenine,Sounds Like He Failed, Think I could Ever Suceed?
Ha!
It may sound like it, but he didn't have to impress his wife of 25 years, don't you think?
That's how he is By the way the 2 suits that they ended up buying for her that day - he marked exactly what should be fixed and took it to the tailoring&alterations to adjust. He didn't trust a tailor to do the job.
"Think I could Ever Suceed?" I dunno... do you like shopping?
