To have a bunch of guys shooting things and cursing over by the ladies undergarments....Probibably not a +1 in the shopkeepers eyes.

In my view is a +1000 for the shop keeper ...
I would happily not huff and puff and say "it looks great ... now can we go" - leave me filling up his machine while my wife shops and spends much more than she intended.
As for the ladies garments - why is it that the seating outside the fittings room always in the underwear section? The amount of uncomfortable guys I've sat with, not knowing where to look - put the machine in the shoe section for godsake!

Thank God I stood my ground years ago and vowed to never get dragged into a store less masculine than a Sears. She never takes me shopping, and I haven't shopped for clothes in a clothing shop or department store in over 6 years. You can get some darn good Levi's at the hardware store. Dressing room? Pfft. :lol
Only time I have to wait is when we are at the mall. I will stand outside though, or if I am lucky, there is a game shop around. I have to wonder WTF are these malls thinking not putting benches outside their clothing stores. So I end up standing there looking down at my feet as to avoid being the creeper who stands outside Victoria's Secret looking in for a half hour straight.

You've got it backwards. If you've got a woman, you're GOING shopping with her at some point. I consider it common courtesy to provide places/things for males to occupy themselves with while they wait. The problem comes when women get uncomfortable shopping near 6 guys in the womens clothing dept. all standing around a TNMT cabinet.

The Hell I do. Tomorrow's my 17th wedding anniversary. She knows better by now. If she wants a pleasant shopping experience, she leaves me at home!!!

congrats, it sounds like you found the secret to a happy marriage. :notworthy:

+1 -- figure I don't take her to the hardware store and she don't drag me to the clothing store :cheers:

You guys are missing out. I take my wife to the hardware store, the lumberyard, everywhere. She found interest in my hobbies and helps me with them all the time.

Sandy.

My wife would never take me shopping.
I actually can't remember the last time I did go shopping.
Come to think of it I can't think of anything I need.
-
I take my wife to the hardware store
Sandy.
He said wife, not sister.
For those that missed that thread, "Sandy" is "Sandheaver" who Rigby identifies as his sister here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,132357.msg1363864.html#msg1363864).
Don't make me break out the Grease video (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130172.msg1361346.html#msg1361346) again, Neph. >:D :lol

You guys don't take your wife to the hardware store? Who do you get to haul your lumber for you then? :dunno
-
Meh. "Rigby's" bitching and moaning is too similar to Sandy's (even if they were siblings) for me to believe that they're two seperate people, let alone two different sexes. Sandy deletes her account. Same day "Rigby" opens "his". Not buying it.
:cheers:

That's what kids are for! ;D

Need more kids. ;)

Ah man i laugh at you so hard every time you bring this up. You're the biggest drama queen I've ever known.
-
You're the biggest drama queen I've ever known.
Have you met your "sister"?
-

... of course. She lets things go, and you don't.

Jennifer stamps her foot and wiggles a finger @ you boys...I"ll get you some drama,

Caught! No male would pen that sentence, Sandy. Wouldn't it be "ourselves"?

No, it would not be "ourselves" since I am not in one of the stores in question at the time of writing, nor was I recalling a time when I was in a store with my wife looking for a place to sit. I was talking about stores in general and males in general, thus "themselves." When one talks about people who are not themselves, they use the term "them" or "they," not "us," or "we," or "our." Example: "Baseball players entertain themselves in the dugout." "Themselves" would not become "ourselves" unless I was both a baseball player, and in the dugout at the time of writing, or was recalling a time when I was both a baseball player and in the dugout entertaining myself.
I don't sit outside stores when my wife goes shopping. I go in her stores with her, and she goes in mine with me. She does a lot of things like researching tools for me while I'm at work or busy with other things, so I don't throw my money away on crap, and I do things like tell her what underwear I want her to wear and buy. It's a mutual benefit, not a one-sided ultimatum or a negotiation. My wife and I are partners in our relationship, there is no "alpha" and there is no "beta." We're equal partners.
So, no; not caught. Let it go, man.

You guys are missing out.
Agreed... you guys are totally missing out.
"Clothes shopping with wife" == "watching wife put on new slinky/sexy clothes/lingerie and then telling her which ones she looks best in and needs to buy right now before you jump her in the change room".

Shopping with me: I need a shirt. Go in the store. Find a shirt. Buy said shirt. Leave. 5 minutes tops.
Shopping with my wife: I need a shirt. Oh, look at these shoes. Hey, this skirt would go with this blouse I got last week. Oh wow, these earrings are lovely... Wait, we still need to get that shirt. At least an hour, and we're not done yet.
---fudgesicle--- that noise. We've done a lot in our 17 years together, but shopping ain't one of them.

I've been contemplating opening an arcade in an outlet village for a long time now. In The Netherlands (but just over the border here in Malaysia too) there are these awful outlet malls, mostly shaped like quaint little villages. They have brand clothing, bags shoes and little else. An arcade would rake in real money there!

Yadda, yadda, yadda...
Men don't call each other males. :P

:D Ok, buddy, sure thing... The fact that you can't let this go just proves to me what is of concern to you and what is not.

here is my thoughts i'm 42 and look like a troll the wife is 26 and looks like a super model I love going to Victoria secret with her you should see the people look at us when i'm pointing and moaning at the outfits it is hilarious its almost better than any video game.
plus after a minute of two of me creeping around there we get the place to ourselves. :laugh2:

Oddly enough the pointing and moaning technique works in a variety of stores - even on sale day. Especially baby gap. Especially.

Married 13yrs this past month, and it gets better every year. Still think she's as hot as the day we met, if not hotter.
She puts up w/my tool/part shopping, I put up with her getting side-tracked for shoes. Clothes shopping, though, that's a spectator sport. Thankfully, she ain't shopping in no Target... if we're shopping for clothes for her we're likely down at Harley Davidson or at a lingerie shop, and I'll start by picking them off the rack one size too small "just to be sure we get the right size". ;)

I'm with you. no ---smurfing--- around. :angry: Get in, get ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I need, leave. Done. With the wife, we go for kids shoes at the walmart, i'm just sort of blindly following her while on my smartphone...look up, we are in vegetables ??? what the hell happened to buying shoes?! oh, i just thought bla bla bla... ::)
I can't count the amount of times we've gone into a store for 1 thing and leave with $300 worth of stuff...except the item we went for.
