Shopping with a chick

[ResinIII]

Okay, I have Black Tie Optional Wedding to go to next Sunday.My husband is going with me to pick out a dress.This is the first time I have to drag him around.Trust me you, I'd rather not.Any other of you men like shopping with their women?

[tattered]

no

I will prolly get flaimed for this, but I actually do not mind it. My girlfriend does not shop to often or for to long, so its pretty enjoyable. She lets me pick out some things for her and actually listens to my opinion when i tell her what looks nice and what doesn't.

Nice extensive answer!

Oh, and NO! But, on occasion I enjoy shopping with my girl when she likes to bust out her credit card to buy me some sneakers.

FAG!

;)

I can't stand it. I can't stand the fact that women go shopping just for the sake of going shopping. When I need something, I go to the particular store that has it and is the most convenient at the time. I shop around when I am buying expensive shit, like say a computer or a TV. Otherwise, I just go buy the shit and leave.

I was waiting for it :)

I actually enjoy clothes shopping for myself, but the wierd thing is that I don't like when a chick comes with me.

And I could look online and in Bestbuy all day for computer/electronic stuff. I am in the middle of building a new computer as we speak. Just waiting for the new intel chips to come out the 21st so the price on the one i want will drop.

But I refuse to start an arguement with a man who began the anal thread :D

[Sinn Fein]

No argument, man. :) I hate having a chick go shopping with me too. It decreases my efficiency.

Now, shopping online is a whole different situation.

And what's wrong with the anal thread?

[dawgs47]

There is nothing wrong with the anal thread, I think it is one of the best threads I have ever seen on this board. It was very reminisant of old O&A. I liked it a lot.

Nothing is worse than a chick is an electronics store. Even if you tell them before hand what you need, they always point out the wrong thing. And then they want to stop at the DVD's or the stoves.

What do you think is the best online store to shop at for electronics? I have been using googlegear.com recently. its pretty good.

[MAVRIC305]

I for one think the anal thread was a bit anal, but that's just me.

You have to think of shopping with a girl positively! If she thinks your whipped, then she is whipped. So, when you say something like, "I like that" you know it's yours! You have to pretend to get what you want! You can love, but don't lie! Bottom line girls are great to shop with, as long as the credit card has her name on it!:D

i really hate, no i dispise, going shopping with my girl!! and i really don't like clothes shopping for myself.

but when i clothes shop for myself, i like her to come with me. this way, i won't buy something that looks f'd up on me.

i never go with her when SHE is shopping and she knows it. she doesn't even ask me to go with her anymore, she just tells me where she is going and when she'll be back and leaves me alone:biggrinfl .

My wife won't ask me any more. I get really frustrated when she looks at 15 different dresses, and ends up buying the first one she looked at anyway. I'll go but I have to sit in the bar...and wait.

That's the best way to do it.
We should take the girls out shopping one day. Is there a shopping center or mall with a good bar???
With that in mind, my girlfriend will probably sit at the bar with us, she hates shopping too!

[SpotcheckBilly]

Not to give the wrong impression, my wife is the biggest tom-boy ever, she hates shopping with a passion. But in keeping with the original premise of the thread, IF there is an occasion we have to attend, and she needs to buy something for, I will do anything necessary to avoid having to go. But if I do get dragged along, I'll hide in the bar. ::cough:: Ruby Tuesdays ::cough::

We'll be in a bar soon enough steve..lol

[wackadoo]

Not to give the wrong impression, my wife is the biggest tom-boy ever, she hates shopping with a passion. wish i could say the same about my wife...she is really cool to hang with at a bar and can chill and be like one of the boys...but GODDAMN! she fucking shops...you know last week i was in our closet and i see all these pocket books. so decide to count them...she had 15 of 'em!!! what the hell does she have 15 for?? i asked her and she said she likes pocket books!:mad:

[Ballbuster1]

15 is nothing! My wife has at least double that and
I don't even want to talk about shoes! She calls QVC
and they know her voice. The worst thing we did was
go to N.Y.C. , cause she fell in love with shopping at the
vendors and on 5th Ave!

Here is a word of advice Wack, if you think that she has a ton of handbags, don't even bother trying to figure out how many shoes that she owns :eek:...

This one time, at Band Camp...

My wife asked me to get her "black sandals" out of our closet, sure thing honey.... I go in get the box of sandals and hand them to her. She opens the box, no these are the wrong ones, there should be another pair in there. I look, and find another pair, and hand them to her. They were wrong too. So I got back in and find ANOTHER pair of "black sandals" for her... Of course, they were the wrong pair too. :arrrh: Needless to say, I went into our closet 2 more times to find the right pair of black Sandals...

I look at my shoes, I have 1 pair of black shoes, and one pair of brown shoes... WTF is up wit dat???

to touch back on the women in electronic stores point made earlier, try selling electronics to women. i work at best buy selling computers and i'll tell you, i'd rather shoot myself in the head then "pitch the bitch" (little boiler room reference for you). half of them come in saying they need a new modem and when you show them the modem section, as in the card in your computer that the phone line plugs into, they make it seem like you're retarded because they were asking you for a new computer, as in the tower holding the motherboard, hdd, optical drives, etc. if one more person calls their freakin computer a modem i think i'm going to start throwing monitors at them. i have to explain every little detail to them because their worried they won't be able to get on the, what's it called, oh yeah, the f'ing internet because somehow they need a dvd burner and a p4 2.6 Ghz computer to access their dial-up accout because that's what their friend "who knows a lot about computers" told them to get. this should probably go in the fu section but reading that just sent my mind going. little advise, learn about the basics of what you're buying before you go and dump $2,000 on a computer where you're never going to use half the features.

I absolutely dread shoping with the Mrs. I'm a total speed shopper and look at shopping as tactical strikes ("Ok. I need 2 short-sleeved shirts and a pair of shorts. Get in, get out!") She goes shopping with nothing in mind. ("I'll just walk into every store in the greater Philadelphia area and try on everything in my size, regardless if I even like it or not!") She also waits until I'm about to take a nap or something before asing me to go shopping, so I'm extra surly when we're out.

"How does this look?"

"That has to be the worst thing anyone in the history of mankind has ever wrapped around herself."

Hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it !!!!!!!

[Butternuts]

Girls always want to dress me in gay wigger clothes, and malls make me hot n dizzy. I opt for the fast walk directly to my objective and out of there.

I could walk through BEST BUY all day though, or Sears.

[wackadoo]

("I'll just walk into every store in the greater Philadelphia area and try on everything in my size, regardless if I even like it or not!") EXACTLY!!! my wife'll try something on, ask me the hold on to it because she not sure if she likes it!! but she wants to try on more shit BEFORE she makes a decision...thats when i hit the TGIF's bar;)
