Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it’s not clear I’m not looking for casual misogyny thanks
Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I’m wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.
I’d love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!
I’m a woman who hates shopping. I like nice clothes, but spending time in a mall is my idea of torture most of the time. shrug
If I’m going shopping, it’s because I need something specific and it’s more like a scavenger hunt, which can be fun if I’m in the right mood.
My wife also hates clothes shopping. She used to get stressed out about it to the point where she would put it off until it was absolutely necessary, and then I would need to go and help her find things at the store.
Thankfully, she has got over that now. She still doesn’t like clothes shopping and puts it off as bit. But when she needs to, she has more patience when looking for clothing and doesn’t need (or want) me there to suggest things. So it’s pretty much a perfect situation (for me at least).
I prefer to buy things online. I’m assuming your wife is the same but sometimes shops in person to try stuff out. Something that really helped me was taking my body measurements and checking the size charts online.
Interesting. I went shopping to a big mall by myself recently to shop to replace my slightly rubbish clothes selection. I had remote help from someone I know who would say “you need a baby blue t shirt, it goes with your eye colour” and I’d go out and find one of those that I liked.
Now you mention it, that is much more of a game/scavenger hunt. Perhaps that’s why I preferred it!
