Would our CS men be insulted if they were asked to hang out in Man Land at IKEA while their partner shopped??

Dragging him to IKEA to sit in a lounge playing games serves no purpose. He's not with his partner to give his opinion on what she wants to buy. Why not leave him at home to do what he wants to do.

Happy man happy wife....

Hey guys, this was in Australia. I'm surprised they didn't serve critters they catch in the outback. No chance of shrimp on the barbie....too expensive. sigh

After 5 years in the furniture trade, I'd shop with her just to make sure it was good stuff (after all, I'd put it together).grin

I basically think this is a great idea. Everybody knows that guys hate to shop, and that guys can pop in, buy an item, and pop right back out again, whereas women like to shop and compare items, which cn take hours. Guys aren't up for hours of shopping. So Manland just might work, because the women are relieved of whining men, and men get to get a free hotdog cheering and get to have some fun. Next step, I suppose, with be a Womanland place, where the women can have some fun while the men shop, but it would have to be a place that men really like to shop at, like Tool Town, the tool section at Sears, or maybe Lowes or Home Depot.
