So they can pay and carry our bags...lol My ex actually enjoyed shopping with me because he has good taste in fashion and he knows what look good on me. He liked to check out other women too.....

I didn't know that when I was playing the good boyfriend, I also got in the way of all the other good women :) Though it would explain the occasional exasperated look.I never did mind the shoe or clothes shopping, but I did spend a majority of time thinking how hot she would look in whatever it was I was asked an opinion for (guess I was finding the brighter side). I hate the makeup sections though, the often overly perfumed snakes in those departments scare me a little :) That and I was never really one for face painting after the age of five. (bait set, and now...we wait)

I love shopping with Ms Pennil, I get to check her out parading around in some sexy clothes and she buys what we both like. One rule we have is each store has to have a man chair/couch :)I also like to shop for myself and Ms Penni has a great eye for style and colour. Melbourne, the fashion capital of Oz :)

Quoting 'customer69'And whilst he is doing that Meeka, you get to buy some more shoes on his credit card....just make sure you also buy a big handbag to stash them in...ha ha ha I think a better solution is take his credit card and leave him at home. That way you can shop til you drop then call him to pick you up.

Guys have the shed, the work on there cars and play with there tools, they sometimes go to the pub and have a drink and hang out. But the size of the shed or garage, or even the pub, is nothing compared to a girls playground!. Take a look at your local shopping centre. I know a lady who said to her hubby, she would just be heading out with the girls for a quick coffee, left at 10am didnt get back until 4pm...and with a mountain of shit! You girls have the best playground. Us guys, well, we have a local pub or the shed. Sigh!

Although sometimes a bag bitch is good, I dont particularly enjoy shopping with most men. I was recently in a lingerie store trying to decide on some racy underwear when along comes a sweet young thing (all of 18) with boyfriend in tow. I could see he was uncomfortable choosing bras and things with a woman old enough to be his mother in the near vacinity. I like to shop unencumbered.

JJ .... c'mon mate. Man up or put on your frilly underwear and prance through Chadstone to your heart's content. If you get your kicks trying on shoes, sipping lattes or worse still low-carb beer and working out what is making your arse look big - you should. No-ones forcing you to man up, scratch your nuts and prove your manliness by pulling things apart over a few full-carb beers. . See you in the shed. Or pub. (I hope - but will embarce your frilly side if that's how you swing lol)

When Mrs JJ goes shopping for clothes' she goes alone... She always has been a bit of a fashion statement and can shop for hours and then come home with nothing.. ? Now why would anyone want to be a part of the agony of that .? I can remember one time when I went with her to a store in Sydney... Being the good hubby I took a seat outside the change room which was just one very large room where everyone got changed.. While sitting there I caught a glimpse of the nicest set of breasts I think I had ever seen.. Nice size' perky' shaped with nice nipples Now the owner of these lovely puppies was obviously very proud her assetts and was content to allow the show to go on while my wife was busy going in and out trying on different things.. and who am I to complain ??? When we were ready to leave' the nice girl with the nice breasts caught my eye' smiled a knowing smile and left the shop.... Mrs JJ apoligized for taking so long and commented how patient I had been.... Now' being a honest sort of a guy' I fessed up to what I just seen... Mrs JJ just says' yes' I know' I could see what was going on but it kept you quite for awhile and allowed me to try on all those clothes..... Now that I didnt mind...

We call them the "poor bastard couch". Poor bastards sitting around wishing to God they were somewhere else. But there is a serious motive behind this. The men get to clock up points to then spend on weekends away playing golf, fishing and the like. So don't feel too sorry for them. Lol! Miss k

For 10 years I have trained my man in the art of sizing, fabric, styles, cut and shapes that look good on me. He walks into a lingerie store (by himself) and when the assistant says "can I help you?", he replies, "yes, I will have this in a 10C, and do you have matching underwear in a g string and a boyleg?". He even checks the straps to see if they stretch at the front as well as the back. The retailer is flabbergasted and usually panders to him for being a good boyfriend. He likes the attention. He knows my dress size, my shoe size, my taste and my colouring. 90% of my underwear drawer has been brought home by my man. He is a fabulous handbag holder. Great at swapping sizes and even puts garments back. Yes I am bragging...but he is brag-able! If you are going to drag him along, put him to good use. And then pay him in kind when you get home!

We are just about to board a plane to LA for our annual clothes shopping trip (and see a few bands, and, oh, some business too!). Mr Rocker is the perfect shopping assistant with his eye for detail, and we have a couple people in LA that help us find the cool stuff that is off the beaten track, or the latest hip hand made fashions and underground designers. 24 hours from now we'll have a car load of new threads from Melrose Ave!But, we dont just wander aimlessly around shops. We know what we like, and put aside time once or twice a year to get it. It makes it more special, especially when you come home and have to make a few trips from the car to the house just to bring all the new stuff in :)

... who dont just simply go through the motions and fake the smile when we shop with our ladies....As penni's man says - its a thrill to watch your lady parade in a shoe and dress fest!! (particularly helps when one has a shoe/foot fetish :) ) So stop with the whining gentlemen, follow your ladies into the change rooms..guide them to the lingerie departments..and get on one knee and slip that sexy stileto on their stockinged feet..:)

I especially hated getting asked for my opinion when my ex girlfriend dragged me out because no matter what I said it was wrong. "Do you like this dress on me?" "Yeah, its nice." "No, it makes me look fat and you're just saying that so we can go." "Then why ask me for an opinion if you don't like it?" "Because I wanted to see what you thought." Now if I told her that I didn't like it she'd buy it and I've had this similar thing happen with other girls too. God I hate shopping!

Meeka watch out that you dont get in the way of Mr Pup when we're out shopping for Mrs Pup. I can walk into any shop, scan through all the racks, pick out the best outfits with 98% sizing accuracy, have the girl in the change room within 5 minutes, get back for the 2% resizes then pay for all the best as she's getting dressed. Oh and I'm not a poof!!! Why do I do it? Well I actually enjoy it but also it is a far more efficient process as it leaves more free time for us to enjoy other things together. I think the bozos that just sit there suffering should get their head out of their ass and have a go! Or if it's not their thing, which is perfectly acceptable, then yes they should take a stand and go to the nearest pub to wait. Just make sure the shopper is designated driver.Oh and as for getting in the way of other women shopping, I really have to bite my tongue often and hard to not blurt out "YES YOUR ASS LOOKS GARGANTUAN IN THAT" to an unknown shopper who is spending countless minutes sashaying in front of a mirror, especially when she has some girl"friends" telling her it makes her look hot (you girls can be nasty). Oh and I do get borrowed to Mrs Pups friends every now and then, why not, dressing up women is nearly as fun as undressing them!!!

wow, lots of bogan comments on this thread! This is why we play the "Elwood Game" (do YOU own an elwood shirt?) when we head out...Well, we are just about done here in LA. I think we've spent just over $6000 in clothing and some shoes, including some one off custom stuff. One more day on Melrose picking up those final items, then thats it until next year!Brett, never regret a missed buy, just make up for it next time.

I realize I'm usless at picking stuff out - sizes, how a pair of trousers should actualy hang off a man etc. About as skilled as I get is realising the cuff is the right length. So I really do appreciate the help. Hmmm the old duds are fast becoming rags... I feel a shopping trip coming on.. only been about three years. Any one wanna help? Oh and when I used to buy my girls lingere, the shop girl, she'd ask the size.. I'd hold up my hands in a bowl shape... about that big. Now I know I musta remembered pretty good because when she tried em on they fit...lol Blows on nuckles and shines em. Im here in Darwin whenever you want to shop Mikle.....

we go shopping with our wives because we are 'connected' , not 'disconnected'............i enjoy it, she enjoys it...........besides carrying the bags, paying the bill, driving here to and fro etc etc, some of us are valued for our opinions, our input and our patience, and ultimately rewarded for our commitment to making our ladies happy. we go shopping and buy nothing, we go shopping and end up at the pub, we go shopping and just hang out. its all good and its really much more than being dragged along unwillingly.............we do the grocery shopping together and i can do it myself now and not miss a thing. i know in which aisle what needed thing resides, and yea, can quote lingerie sizes, favourite colours, ring sizes, perfume likes,etc etc without a moments 'training' or 'coaching'. ...............and if i ask for our time to be about me, Shel willingly plops herself onto the back of my bike and will happily do a morning of bike shops, bunnings, jb hifi or whatever. its about being a couple in a relationship, not two singles going through the motions.............shoppings just shopping. its not some 'secret womens business'.............oh, and the 'shed' has a chair thats hers, as well as some of her more personal and feminine touches..........

My guys just simply like going shopping with me.. i think i am very lucky we always have a ball shopping, perving on the girls together and messing around. Waiting for some ladies top to fall open while she bends over trying on shoes is especially naughty, and might i say we all look for the same thing, a little bit of flesh out there in public is very horny. We watch out for each other and must tell the other if we see something naughty, shopping is a great way to get horny and pass the time..lol Leesa

I love shopping. No ..I really love shopping. I can out shop the best of them. When Bad Kitty and I go shopping I am always get things off the rack for her to try on when she is in the change room, I can put together a stylish sexy outfit right down to the shoes and accessories. I enjoy keeping up with whats in fashion. I know what your thinking ... This guy has gay tendencies. You could not be further from the truth, I am as straight as they come. But I just love shopping, whether it be for me or her, big or small purchases I love my retail therapy. So you can't put all men in the same basket.

At the lingerie shop. It can be part of foreplay... "do you like this on me? " (does a swivel,and a slight bend) "... He has a positive reaction... "hmmm, I guess we better get that then?"..... But if its ordinary shopping, leave the poor guy at hime... I have in the past had a guy who would go to the lingerie shop for me...trying it on, sending me pics and then buying it for me.. stretchy lacey numbers allow for slight differences in sizing. It eas entertaining for both of us, judging especially by his lower anatomy in the pics... Ahhh shopping has never been the same since....

for us its like this...i go because its me who pays, its me who sees what shes wearing, and its me who will give her an honest appraisal. shopping with my gal isnt just about her, we make it into a day out, do lunch, coffees and whatnot, and she does exactly the same for me, its a day out together, so it really doesnt matter where we are or what we are doing..... upshot is that should she want something...i know where to find it, as she does if its me doing the asking....Shels as much at home in the bike shop (even knows names) as i am at the local Woolies... isnt it what partners do for, and with each other? ( should either of us do the groceries on our own, someone will always ask....wheres your husband/wife?)

I am with Meeks here. Last time we both went shopping together was probably the early 90s . I can still remember the day,within minutes i had broken out into a cold sweat, i was going delirious and was everything was starting to go blurry. Seriously though,we just don't shop well together be it clothes or the groceries.I am on my feet all day at work and have no problems but 5 minutes into shopping with Mrs Luvsilver and i need to sit down in the seat out the front of the shop that all good stores should provide for husbands/partners.If i do stay too long i know i will be asked which of these two items looks best on Mrs Luvsilver ( her trying on both multiple times). That, i can handle but the next question is the one there is no correct answer to -why? whats wrong with this one on me? Please dont get me wrong,i take our 4 children to do the groceries every Friday night-always have and i really do enjoy it.We get what we need in a timely manner and go home but throw Mrs Luvsilver in the mix and it becomes an all night ordeal. Best we stay our distance on the shopping front.Maybe that is why we are still together 20 years on! Mr Luvsilver

There is nothing better than crafting a new outfit. Planning for it, budgeting for it, hunting it down. Clothes, in some instances, do maketh the man. I always enjoy having female company along when doing this as she will always remain a merciless sounding board.White crocodile loafers make men look like pimps. Women know this. Men necessarily don't. We need you along so we don't make fools out of ourselves. We like to repay the favor in kind by trying to help you out with your shopping. We know we get in the way but we do mean well.

Actually, the same thing occurs for me!I HATE when my ex girlfriends use to come shopping with me. They had the shittiest taste in clothing for me, always dragged me into cheapo rubbish clothing shops and this would occur with every possible store when I prefer the high-fashion end of the scale. I much prefer shopping on my own! I know already in my mind what I NEED and go find it, if I find extra things then it is a bonus. Girls for the most part don't understand men's fashion I don't know why they bother trying. :) Probably because their partners don't care so they're happy with whatever.As for shopping with girls, they love it when I come along! I participate and have no problems telling them whether something looks good on them or to avoid it...this makes shopkeepers either love me or hate me as my opinion generally means they've either gained an upsell or lost a sale altogether!
