I still haven't bought Roxana (my wife) anything yet, and I'm getting antsy...I know she already has bought several things for me but I haven't got around to it yet...but I WILL! She wants clothes and jewelry, so I probably will have to shop with her and that's the bad part...my wife likes to go to nearly every store in the mall when we are there and ...I try to be considerate and accomodating, but I get restless when we shop together in a women's department...I feel like a zombie following my wife through a confused maze of textile fabrics...the vivid colors hypnotize you as I follow my wife (clutching her hand for security) not knowing where I will turn or how long I will stand there looking awkward...occaisonally, she ask "how you like this?", or "what do you think of this?", and my answer is usually the same: "It's nice", "If you like it, get it", all I can do is just stand there and bear it...I try to sucker her in by shopping with me at Academy, but she won't take the bait..."I already bought your stuff, and I spent a lot of money on it..", said she. You'd think I would learn to manipulate this shopping experience since me and hunny have been married 5 years, but to my chagrin, she will always have the upperhand in the shopping experience...
I usually amuse myself by picking out the skankiest, ugliest, or biggest article of clothing, holding it up high, and shouting to my wife, "Isn't this what you're looking for?" I swear, those clothing aisles are not made for 3-dimensional humans. Can't I just follow my wife around without either going all the way around the section, or grazing my butt against a fat lady's butt? And why do they put the women's restroom near the lingerie section? Does looking for unmentionables make them want to pee from the excitement? What is the guy supposed to be looking at there without looking like a perv? The answer, my friend, is cell phone/walkie-talkie concurrent shopping.
I took my girl shopping last week and for the first time I rather enjoyed it. I kinda made her buy the clothes I would want to see on her so it was fun. But from time to time she would try on clothes she wanted to try and that is when I wish I had a cell phone with games in it. Also who has a girlfriend or wife over here that they are afraid to take shopping? You know, the one that will make you ass-out. I guess I am lucky in that regard. I try to take my girl to the Galleria and shop at Versace or Armani, but she rather shop at Gap and Express! Luckily it leaves me much more money for my self! woohoo!!! And no I am not trading with anyone!
I hate shopping for people around Christmas, aaaaah the PRESSURE!!! During any other part of the year, when you see something you like for someone, you get it, no time frame, no special ceremonies, just get and give it...but Christmas, OK, the countdown, The "you GOTTA buy a present, its that time of the year", the "they're already getting me several things", the money, the rest of the family members! Its tough business my friend and I don't like it one bit. All that stuff turns into the token sweater, the token bottle of perfume, the token present from me to you...oh how special?! I went Christmas shopping last week with my girlie friend and all I got was my other ear pierced! Aw hell, looks like the nieces and nephews get Bestbuy Gift Certificates again this year.
LOL! I can just imagine two guys just standing in the lingerie department waiting for their girlfriends. They both probably think the other guy is just a pervert!
I'm the luckiest son of a b**** out there. RM95's Girl hates shopping!!!!! And I already got her present, a plane ticket to Chicago.
So we have a high demand and low supply for: a device that will help men buy clothes for their women. Anybody have any ideas? My initial thoughts lead me to a computer card for men. First, there should be a universal code for different types of women's clothing. There should then be a unique code for each store's own clothing articles (this already exists). In each store's catalog they should print these codes next to the item. The woman can then register the article of clothing or the type of clothing to their card by punching in the numbers. They give the card to the man, who takes it shopping with him. It can be used at any store. Based on the codes stored in the card, the store's computer should be able to pick out the exact item or similar items that the women would probably like. Taking into consideration sizes and such. The card will know the sizes of your woman and will also know if an item has already been bought for her by someone else. It could also store a computer image of your wife so that you will be able see how she would look in the clothing. Perhaps there is a much better idea. Perhaps not. But that is my rough draft.
The idea is solid, but the premise is faulty. Why would women allow their men to purchase women's wear solo? For: -woman has already told the man exactly what to buy -man has better taste in women's clothing than woman does -clothing is not for her(probably for someone she dislikes) -woman wants the merchandise for exchange value -it's just a coat or other one-size-fits-all item -woman wants man out of house Against: -woman misses out on shopping -man will mess it up somehow -man finds out how much it really costs and buys himself something of equal or greater value -man gets arrested for being a perv I'm sure I missed some, but your gadget would be pure impractical luxury.
Express isn't a bad place to tag along with a girl when she wants to get some clothes. The clothes there usually look damn good on the girls I date and while they are looking at stuff, I usually hang out on those blue chairs near the dressing room and am often asked what I think by alot of good looking ladies. Women love it.
My wife absolutely detests shopping. At Christmas, we just decide what we want and buy it for ourselves. Usually, I have more interest in going shopping than she does. Clothes shopping is the absolute worst for her. She can make it about 15 minutes and then just says, "To hell with this. Let's go!" She likes to look for books, magazines or even gadgets, but everything else makes her nuts.
