My guess as to why men don't like shopping with women is that women are at the most extreme "female" when they are shopping. Everything is adventure, discovery, emotion, overindulgence, and lack of rationality. There is nothing less male than the way women shop. See the attached picture. We adore women for being the way they are, but a lot of men don't want to be an active participant. Personally I enjoy bearing witness to it and I like giving my advice, but I do still get bored sometimes. It's okay. I'm sure she would be bored at a car show.
The below picture is the perfect example of what happens when a girl goes for shopping.
I think men's and women's minds are just wired differently when it comes to shopping.
Men generally don't spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. We know what we want, we get in, buy our shit, and get out. 10-15 minutes and we're done. Mission accomplished.
This mentality is inconsistent with how a woman shops, in my experience. Women love getting deals. That is what takes so long. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. Even after she has purchased something, she has this irresistible urge to check out the price to see if it was lower, when we see the same thing elsewhere.
The trying on of garments also takes a long time. Not sure why. We know that if girlfriend goes into the dressing room, We won't see her again for the next 20-30 minutes. We sit there waiting patiently, contemplating the meaning of life. Then, she'll say nothing fits just right. Or the color wasn't right. Or, "It makes me look fat."
"You mean you're not going to buy anything?"
"No, let's go."
Rinse and repeat. Sigh.
funny one :P
