Moments in a minor key

"LISTEN MY SON.....THESE ARE THE RULES"

Men get bored shopping after just 26 MINUTES.

The crowded streets, the indecisiveness of what to buy, the fear of being suckered into buying something you don't want — these are just some of the reasons why men aren't too keen on shopping.

For ages, women have been the ones that called each other up and made dates with one another to spend the entire day shopping for clothes, purses, accessories, and lest we forget their favorite: shoes.
Guys, on the other hand, groan at the idea of having to head to the shops, especially with their women. They abhor the idea of trying on clothes, wandering around aimlessly, then carrying a busload of bags to the car, most of which don't belong to them anyway.
Single guys, however, are becoming more and more keen on spending Saturdays at the mall because they're picking up on a little known secret. Perhaps they enjoy trying on all the different textures of material offered, and those colors — oh, those rich colors... yeah, right.

Guys have finally picked up on the fact that if that's where the women are at, then hey, maybe — they — can — meet — a — woman — there. What a novel idea. But keep in mind that these guys are shopping, yes, just not for clothes.
How many times have I seen guys walking around by themselves in the woman's section of a store? Some would call them pervs or cross-dressers, but the truth is that most of them are looking to hook up with a size 8.
Nevertheless, it's no surprise that men usually take no more than one hour to refresh their entire wardrobe. They simply point at what they want, ask for a certain size and hand over their credit cards. Every saleswoman's dream.

Why is it so easy for them? Well, guys go shopping with the intent of purchasing specific items whereas women will usually roam around until something catches their eye — yes, I'm still talking about clothes.
Shopping doesn't have to entail a sweaty bargain hunt for certain items of clothing, rather guys are simple-minded when it comes to clothes, especially if the saleswoman is beautiful and utters the words, "That sweater looks great on you, will that be cash or credit?"
The worst thing imaginable, besides having to shop for yourself, is having to shop for her. And if you made the awful mistake of choosing to buy her clothes, then good luck with all that. If you mess up and buy her a size that's too big, she'll be insulted. And if you buy her a size that's too small, then she'll think you want her to lose weight.

 Realistically, if you can weasel your way out of buying her clothes for any occasion, do so. Unless of course, she tells you exactly what she wants in what size and where you can find it.
Otherwise, I recommend that you invest in gift certificates because that way she can take you shopping, so you can watch her try on four hundred items before deciding on one.
