Women shopping with men

I actually was getting bored with my three day off this weekend. So what did I do? Turned up to the office regularly on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Today is our company's Annual day and hence off. There can be some after effects if you turn up as late as 7 pm on a Saturday night to your office. Our security guard quipped,"Sir, you are entering the office when everyone is actually leaving". What is my dumb retort ? Instead of saying no this, no that, no movie, no shopping I said,"Yeah, I live closeby. So I have no problem coming", with a wtf smile.

So I asked my good friend, Jack, over the mail about whatz the weekend like. He said, he made the biggest mistake ever in life. Ladies cannot even guess it. Gentlemen would not like to repeat it. The mistake: He went for shopping with a girl who is a friend of his. And this is how the conversation was build up. It was a very quick conversation coz it started off with girls. We are always excited about these topics. Woo-hoo!

Me: Watz the weekend like for you?

He: Yeah, a very irritating weekend! I made the mistake of accompanying a female friend to shop in the commercial street. Boy, it aint at all easy shopping with girls. They pick ten clothes, try five, narrow down on two and finally buy none.

And the worse thing is, they ask which ones we liked and are dead against the one that we like the most. Its like telling us that our taste is very bad. When I told her the same thing, she replied that I do select very nice dresses. Yeah, its true, but I have selected that dress which she already decided to buy – hence my taste is good! Glee!

He further adds,

"You cant win an argument with two people – one, a lunatic, and two, a woman!"

I did not have the privilege that he had till now. But I still could respond with the little experience I've had so far.

Me: He he he...that was funny and you narrated in a nice way. But women would love to shop their clothes with a man. I think they find it romantic and we find it lunatic.

You realised it quite fast man and you are already bowing to woman's wishes. Ha ha ha...I know you did it not to offend her. But do you expect them to return the same favour? If you show her what you like, she says that it is bad with a blank face and will stick to it for all the money in the world. What will you do now? You throw that out in frustration in the change room and will totally drop the idea of shopping that day.

He nods and says,

He: Your perception is very much right! The best way is to let her shop on her own and we shop on our own. Remember that marriage joke in which a guy says that he and his wife have the best dinners – she goes on Tuesdays and he on Fridays.


Jack finishes off by saying,

" Somehow, guys don’t take so long to shop! Or rather, so long to decide what to buy! But women run from closet to closet, shop to shop before they buy. We have one bag and many clothes whereas they have many bags with a cloth piece each in one ".

Next time Jack would be wary of shopping with women again. And I, would drop the whole idea of shopping at the outset itself. Jack and Rock lived happily ever after.
