Not to bash men, but I hate Holiday shopping with them

[Illumination70]

I don't know about the ladies here, but I tried to do some Holiday shopping with the men in the family and it's as fun as having your wisdom teeth extracted.
As a result of this situation, I learned a valuable lesson, NEVER go shopping with guys because they hate it and will rush you when you are trying to find the best deals.
My question is who can relate?

 

[Purplereign]

my boys not too bad if there is a list involved . . . but not so crash hot at that whole aimless wandering the mall thing . . . but then neither am i . . . have you tried bribery

 

[bigjohn2441]

HAHAHAHA, why, cause we actually know what we wanna get BEFORE we go into the store and dont piss around all day cause we can actually, i dont know, MAKE A DECISION?

sorry does that come across as a little bitter?

I do my Christmas shopping alone. But I prefer shopping by myself anytime. As long as I have a list and an idea of what I want then I'm golden. Having a man around will only benefit you with bag carrying Besides, it's so much easier to weave around slow walkers when you're solo.

Men don't like shopping. Not knowing what you're looking for sucks. Give us a product and a store, no worries - but take us to "look for ideas" doesn't work - we don't think like that.

GFY, STFU and go to sleep.

You love shopping, don't you?

For lingerie.

 

[MsPurrl]

I don't even like going to the grocery store with MrPurrl. He seems to view it as a competition to see how quickly he can get in, do the shopping, and get out. I like to take my time.

 

[Night & Day]

I hate men in general.

 

[BAW]

I must be married to only guy out there who happily goes shopping with me and never rushes me. We do almost all of the shopping together (groceries, Christmas, household stuff, birthday gifts) and as far as I know, he doesn't hate it.












I know, I know, I'm leaving the thread now

You need to get some gay friends.

I ALWAYS go shopping alone, I think it's a burden to take anyone else with me. Besides, I enjoy just having my freedom, being able to chose what I want and have all the time I need.

But one thing I hate is witnessing grumpy guys who have to go shopping with their women and couples fighting in shopping malls. I see that so many times I'm really more than happy that I am there alone.

We do most of our shopping together too and he never complains.

I've never been shopping with a man who can quickly make a decision about what to buy. My brother is especially hopeless at buying clothes.

The fiance needed to go suit shopping so my Da brought him to a suit shop he knows. I have never heard so much discussion about shirt and tie colours. Took half a day trying to find something suitable.

It's the price men pay for sex.

Too true.

The guy is just smart.


He knows if he wanted to buy something, he would go in buy it and leave. 15 minutes.


And he also, knows that buying that same item is an hour and one half excursion and it is called shopping when a woman is involved.



Yes, I will always go shopping.


But, I get my hour and half back that night. A fair trade.

I'll say. Working in retail during my college years has taught me to never go shopping with a guy - ever!

I try to shop exclusively online, I can track down exactly what I need and get it cheaply and quickly without having to deal with morons

Now this I agree with. Except for books, which I like to buy in person.

 

[A_Wanderer]

I use amazon and abebooks quite a lot, mostly for new books, but I do browse second-hand bookshops.

When a new title comes out from a favorite author, I'll order from Barnes & Noble or Amazon. But, when I just feel like random book shopping, I do it in person.

What's adebooks?

 

[A_Wanderer]

Book exchange,

AbeBooks Official Site - New & Used Books, New & Used Textbooks, Rare & Out of Print Books

Its an easy way to get relatively rare books.

Thanks, and I'm shocked that I'd not heard of this before.

I hate all this stereotypical stuff when it comes to shopping - I'm female, and I absolutely bloody hate it. I'd rather buy things online, and I never, EVER, browse.
AM I THE ONLY ONE?!
Or maybe I'm just a man at heart?
