i took my x wife yesterday, i forgot how much she pi$$es me off when she spends 30mins in a shop looking for a card then comes out without one. westfiled centre in west london, 3 floors and about 2 miles of shops. there was so many shops i ended up not getting anything. ive got to go out again today now for some trainers. i will never ever take a woman shopping again. :( :( :(

i hate going shopping with ann mainly for clothes
she wll try somthing on and say to my does it look ok
i say yes and she goes your only saying that
then she will get somthing else to try on
i fell asleep once in the changing rooms of one shop she took so long

my feet were cut last night with blood in between my toes, it got to the stage where if she stood near the balcony she would of gone over. it wasnt that bad till my eldest turned up. thats when my money started to go down. ive told them both not to contact me until after the weekend. :) :)

What you have to remember is that for a woman shopping is a recreational pastime, like a walk in the park or going to the seaside. Women don't just go to buy things, they go to look at things, to try things on, or just to luxuriate in the surroundings of Shops (a bit like luxuriating in a foam bath, but they do it vertically and with their clothes on).
Men, on the other hand, go shopping to buy things. Supermarkets hate male shoppers like me, because we go in with a mental or written list of what we need, buy it, and go home again. They prefer women shoppers who browse the shelves looking for bargains and buy three times what they need.
None of the above paragraph applies to tool shops, of course. Tool shops are for browsing, for seeing what's available, for imagining the joy of ownership, and for thinking not "do I need one of these?" but "can I come up with a reason, no matter how specious, to justify buying one of these?". As a case in point, some weeks ago I found a local shop selling bolt croppers for four quid. They were beautiful - matt black head and long shiny red handles. I argued with myself for some time about whether I could justify buying them, and eventually decided I couldn't. Imagine my joy a couple of weeks later when I had to remove a laptop from a desk which it was locked to with a security cable to which they'd lost the keys, and I was able to stroll into town and buy the bolt croppers with a clear conscience! ;D

It is a woman's prerogative to take her time Nick. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Can't stand shopping - drives me round the twist even shopping for essentials like food! The only redeeming factor about food shopping is the totty in the supermarkets! ::) ;)
I do most of my clothes and shoe shopping online. :y

Well of course I love shopping and I rate it as one of my hobbies, with or without money. :-* :-* :-* :y :y
In fact I can often go out thinking I only want one item, as funds are low, only to come back with £50's of shopping!! :o 8-) 8-)
I have spend 10's of thousands of pounds over the years using that 'method'! :o :o But I do not regret one penny!! 8-) 8-) 8-)
Men should be grateful that we do this as we are the ones who keep the economy going and people in jobs! :D :D :D ;)

What I find annoying when taking any female shopping for clothes is the fact that the changing rooms are always in the lingerie department. Inevitabley you have to stand close by -- being the holder of several sizes of the same garment --- trying not to look furtive, while the lady in question spends an hour trying to make up her mind

That's in the hope HC that the men will be tempted to buy some gorgeous underwear for their loved one! ;D ;D :D ;)

There's a fundamental Law of the Universe which states that any item of underwear bought by a man for a woman will be wrong, either in size, colour, degree of frilliness or any combination of the three.
This is even mentioned in the Bible, (Genesis, Chapter 3, Verse 7): 'And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And lo, Eve took her apron and made another, saying "I can't wear that", for the apron Adam had made for her was wrong'.
The next few verses deal with Eve trying to find the right fig leaves, then verse 15: 'And the skies darkened and the heavens opened and the voice of the Lord GOD came, saying "Woman, will you get a bloody move on, or I shall banish the pair of you from the Garden throughout all eternity!".'
The rest, as they say, is history...
;D

I'd just add though in this situation the woman is with you, so she will always advise on the size she needs, as long as the man pays! He cannot get that wrong, can he?? ::) ::) ::) :D :D ;)

Good point - I don't think's ever been a recorded case of a woman refusing a credit card because it was the wrong colour! ;D
Having said which, I once gave a girlfriend a gift token for her birthday - she took it back and exchanged it for another gift token... ;)
-
Hate it but have to go every week >:(
-
i once bought my x 2 coats for xmas as i wasnt sure which one she would like. yep, she took them both back. my bottom draw is full of unwanted xmas clothes. ;D\
-
