Why do men hate shopping so much. (not a joke, I really hate shopping)

in #blog7 years ago

So I don't know if other men feel the same way as me but I really hate shopping, If I have to go I already know before I walk out of my door what I am going to buy, I will walk into a shop and pick up that item pay and walk out. this is the easy way of shopping.

Now when I go shopping with the wife who I love to bits, It is a different story, I have to plan a whole entire day to shop, This to me is a waste but I have to go.

Now when did shopping turn into me been a mule? I end up carrying 20 bags of stuff that we don't even need, and there is always something else that we need.

Then the bit I LOVE the most when it comes to paying. "honey can I use your bank card?" which she knows i'm going to say yes anyway and all I can think of is does she really need another hand bag, because at home there is like 500 in our cup board along with the 1000's of shoes.

Then you get stuck behind some old timers who in fairness are doing their shopping, and you know with the expression on his face he hates it more than you. You give a little glance at each other, and you both know that we are thinking the same thing, It's my day off from work can we not be at home sitting in front of the tv.

Now I know shopping needs to be done and there are things that we need to live, i,e food but come on please give us a break, if its the fact that you want to spend time with us then let's go out for something to eat, so we can be both happy and order the clothes and stuff from ebay then I can have a break from lifting all those bags.

Now my question.
Do you ladies love shopping as much as my wife? and do you take your husbands along too? or have they got a good excuse?

Lol! I think I like shopping, but then when I do it I get in a mood and feel all tired and pathetic. And a bit stressed.

I think it's because I like the idea of going and getting something new but the actuality of traipsing round shops with all the other shoppers is just draining and a bit shit haha.

May be send your partner/husband instead haha see what his reaction is, probably be the same as mine. I pull faces while I'm out. to show the misses how I really feel, haha, these days she only takes me around herion for food shopping because she does not drive.

I am a woman and I loathe shopping in any shape or form. I own a second hand store and I am happy others like to shop.

If I had a shop I think I'd like for people to like to shop too lol. it would have been a bad business plan if you had written in it - well I hate shopping and I hate people who shop- Saying that I work in a takeaway and I love customers who come in as they pay my wages too.

It's ironic, but there it is!

No any specific reason for me but i hate shopping unless it's for me myself(conditional).

Is this shopping in town for your self or on line as I don't mind popping on eBay for 20 minutes once a month to buy a few items, Its the going around carrying the many many bags that do my head in. And people walking in front of you like they have no care in the world.

Men are hunter gatherers - go get food, kill food, back to cave.
Women are nest builders - time and consideration to build the nest, pick the right thing to make it a home.
Nature, my friend, nature.
