I thought GOD gave women two rights:

1 - The right to cook.

2 - The right to clean

and then Man gave them another right (out of the kindness of our heart)

3 - To right to remain silent

Right number 3 is the best

Hey I like that its pretty funny

But, shopping is NOT a sport. It's boaring. If people who designed malls were really smart they would have things for us men to do. For instance Sear's in nice, but how about a Speed Shop, general auto part's store, TV rooms (big screen TV's) with big cushy chairs, a FORD speed shop with TONS on stuff and toys to look at.

You women have to look at every piece of clothes like 3 times then ask us "does this look nice" after about 3 hours we don't care how ugly it looks, or if it makes you look fat we just say "yes it's great buy 2 of them" so we can get the hell out of there.

Heck I'd even settle if more female clothing stores would just have the standard group chairs for men to sit in while we wait.

See now that is planned. It's one of those 'female power mind games' trick. They do that on purpose so they have a better chance of getting what they want.

Ahhhh.... see? NOW you're catching on.

Out here in Maryland, we have an outlet mall called Arundel Mills. There's a store in there called the "Great Outdoors" or something like that. It's really cool. There's a "shooting range" that uses lasers, lotsa "GUY" stuff to do. A huge fish tank with Bass and crap in it. Boats for sale. Golf crap. Beef Jerky tasting stations. It's a dude's paradise. Oh, there's a rock climbing wall.

That where we drop our husbands off while we go SHOE SHOPPING!!! Can't have enough shoes!! It's kinda like the big jungle jim at McDonalds for kids. Someplace to dump them off while we do important things.

But I'm the best dressed F150 S'crew in town!!!

Out in NJ malls we have alot of women who dress for attention so that guys are constantly getting thrown in the doghouse and the only way out is to hand over that little plastic card.

It's not fair!!!

I hear you about this "female mind game" more like brainwashing. They put us men in a daze, you know the kind you get after hours of looking at the same thing over and over and over and over and over etc. Almost to the point your ready to rent them a U-Haul for the what ever it is they are going to buy.

Worst thing, you WAIST like 5 hours shopping and they walk out with either someone so small you could stick it in your pocket or nothing at all.

The thing that use to get me is my ex loved looking at rings, the kind with a price of $800 and up. I would tell her if I am going to spend $800 plus I'd better need a buddy to help carry out what ever I bought. I mean damn you can find a car or truck to fix up for that money, why wear something that can fall down the drain?

However, my daughter, THANK GOD, is like me, she is in and out, if she don't spot something that catches her eye she is outta there, and as a PLUS she looks for bargins, God I love her plus she loves my truck and her and her friends tell me its PHAT. So my male friends THERE IS HOPE

P.S. The next thing I will teach my daughter:

How to leave the toliet set up when she is done

It's all in the training my friends, it's all in the training...

And the other thing I really hate about clothes shopping:

Add up the cost of all the clothes they buy that don't need or will rarely ever wear. It's almost gauranteed that that price will be more then what we spend on mods for our trucks. But some we get yelled and need to ask permision to buy stuff

So then you may not have to sit on the front porch with baseball bat then

Shopping is therapy.

Hey, I'm the one that goes to the discount clothing stores AND looks for the Clearance rack. I'm super cheap! Let's see, the outfit I have on today, a maroon sleeveless sweater and a matching skirt = $9.00. AND, I look good.

How's THAT?

Hey, do you guys want us to look all frumpy and mis-matched? Or do you want us to look GOOD when we're seen with you? Don't you think that we do it for YOU? We ask your opinions because we want YOU to approve of our appearance. The most important person in our lives. I always ask my husband's opinion about clothes because 1) he has better taste than me, and 2) I don't want to buy/wear something that he thinks is ugly or unflattering. When I get my nails done, I always ask if he likes the color. I value his opinion. And he does the same. We value each other's opinions, even when it comes to my truck. I check with him about mods, and we discuss it, and we agree on our decisions.

Just my opinion.

Jenn

I love you

Seriously though, with comments like these

We ask your opinions because we want YOU to approve of our appearance.
and
he has better taste than me
and
I value his opinion.
you're gonna get thrown out of this conversation, as you are obviously not the standard. You must realize that women only ask men opinions out of common courtesy, to make them feel like they have a say.
