Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Men don't shop, we hunt. Women shop. Personally, I think it goes back to caveman days. Back then, we were hunters and gatherers. Men went out, found game animals, killed them and went home. Women went out and searched for all the roots, berries, nuts and such that were edible. Those are two completely different skill sets. One takes focus on one thing while the other requires a broader focus on details. Carry it forward to modern times and we shop the same way. A man needs a new blue dress shirt. He figures out what store will have men's dress shirts. He goes there, goes to the men's department, finds the dress shirts, narrows it down to the blue ones, finds the style he wants (button down collar or not, long sleeve, short sleeve, material it's made from, ...), finds the right shade of blue, looks for his size, pays for it and goes home. In-store time? Maybe 15 minutes- if there's a line at the check out. He didn't go ' clothes shopping'. He went clothes hunting. He focused on the one thing he was looking for until it was 'dead', threw it over his shoulder and carried it home. A woman needs a blue blouse. She goes to the mall. While there, she goes into EVERY woman's shop and department store and looks at EVERY rack even remotely associated with women's wear at least once and probably twice in some cases. When she goes home, she's got 3 complete outfits, a new purse, a couple pairs of shoes and, maybe- if she remembered- a blue blouse. In other words, she went 'gathering'.

Pat Riot Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 17 hours ago, Smuteye John SASS#24774 said: Men don't shop, we hunt. Women shop. Bingo! On your whole post. I agree wholeheartedly. Also, ever notice men when they are in a store and the wife / lady is shopping? Young men go along with the wife for a period of time and eventually will go find something they are interested in and leave her to her own shopping. At some point, maybe not that day, but at some point there will be an argument about this. In some relationships there will be many. Older men find an out of the way place in an aisle and wait for the wife. They have found that arguing is futile but know that life is easier if you just go along. Now when it comes to me going to a gun store or a big sportman's (not sports, sportsman's) store, I leave my wife in the dust and do what I need to do....which resembles the diagram above.

Deadshot Dan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 On the rare occasion i make it to Wally World with my wife we part way's at the door. I head strait to sporting good's or automotive and hang out till i think it's time ta leave. When on the rare occasion she ride's along to the gun shop she bring's a book and stay's in the truck, unless she think's i'm going to make a larger than usual purchase. Then she's on my side like a fly on a sticky strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Always thought when you entered the MALL. You and your spouse were given matching cards. You go the mall bar give the bartender your card and wait for your spouse to crank up points on her card. Might speed her up maybe not, but you won't care GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlow4697 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have found it easier to stay home , when the wife returns home go out and carry in the packages. This makes life easier and I get a nap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Lisa and I often use a "divide and conquer" method in department stores. She will hit women's clothing, and the pharmacy sections,I'll hit the pet goods, kitchen, and hardware. Or something like that. Grocery store we usually stick together because while I go grocery shopping a few times a week, she only gets out for that maybe once a month. This gives her a chance to find different things she might want to try and gives me a better idea of what to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Speaking of malls... Ya'll ever notice that if there's a cluster of women's shops in one area of the mall, there's always some benches there, too? Those ain't benches, they are 'husband holders'. Sort of like the arm chairs that used to be in the back of the women's stores near the changing rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I don't do Malls. Period. I walk through one about once every 2 years and that is WAY too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
