Every store I go to now doesn’t have a chair. They all had chairs near the changing room, now not a single store has one.

Shop till you drop, baybee

I hate these jokes. It's like the boomer, "god wives are the worst amirite guys?!" jokes. It's really not that hard to enjoy shopping with your lady.

Edit: I just look for clothes for her with her. Sorry guys.

No dorkus this is a joke about how clothing stores are 99% women's clothes and have maybe a tiny corner for men.

I call them 'men benches' and that's where I'll happily peruse some Lemmy when the missus is shopping

It's dreadful. A few years ago the "The wife did [insert silly thing tech-averse or shopping-obsessed person does] so I did [insert I-am-very-smart-action]" jokes were dying out, or so I thought. But hey, they are back en masse, and worse, re-done by a younger generation who fancies themselves emancipated and modern. Yuck. If you find living and/or spending time with your chosen person of the opposite sex so horrible please just don't?

I mean I unironically love posting up in a back alley and having a chat with some random smokers/vapers, and I love camping.

Now, I love going shopping with a lady as well, but only if they're honest with themselves and actually give a shit about your fashion sense, as applied to them.

If they're genuinely looking for advice, ideas?

Hell yes, fuck I'd call that a fun date, or at least a part of one.

If they mostly just want you to be there as an affirmation machine?

Byeeeeee~!

Now that you pointed it out, I see the single shirt hanging in the last two panels. My first read of the comic was also "lol women love shopping" trash humor.

I ID with it. Women's thrifting is 90% of the store. Men's thrifting is the 4 things that will fit me that someone's uncle died in.

I'd say it wasn't about "women shopping bad" but the amount of men clothing's in stores is borderline boring in comparison.

Women get 58382992 items in 2838473 colorful combinations, we got 3 pair of pants in black or lighter black. Slightly exaggerated maybe.

Affirmation machine/packhorse

If your partner is interested in your feedback/fashion sense, then Im game. Im not gonna just stand there and go "looks great" on every item for 2 hours.

In fairness I tend to use stuff until the thrift store would reject it anyway....

Gotta branch out. I'm fairly certain a few thrift store shirts I have were left in the mens section by accident because the buttons are on the wrong side.

Fuck if I care, I like floral patterns - fight me bro.

Men get navy as well! (Slightly blue black.)

Oh, I thought it would be a huge store full of purple and other colors, and then half of one rack in the corner filled with grey, with a sign next to it that says "Fuck You."

No sign, but there is a plain gray/white t-shirt there in the men's section.

(edit: Oh, and a sock and underwear. This place has everything!)

Well it kind of is when they get the whole store and we get 3 shelves because apparently men don't wear clothing ever.

I don't know in what fantasyland you live, but there's no such thing as blue...tsk...poser!

Well, it should be, but the dude just sits down at the fire. I don't see him looking at that shirt, looking around at the women's options and throwing his hands up asking where the rest of the men's section is, and if they have these pants in under size 40 like I would be.

Men’s clothing section, in most retail stores, looks more like a walking marketing billboard with the companies logos plastered all over the front and back.

Yeah I noticed it after, but he still looks completely uninterested.

It's really not that hard to enjoy shopping with your lady.

It is if shopping is not your cup of tea. It's exhaustingly boring.

lol women love shopping

But they do?

If you find living and/or spending time with your chosen person of the opposite sex so horrible please just don't?

I'm sure there're some lezzies / gays which are not fond of shopping with their partner as well.

You gotta go to "*Victor's Secret. That's where you're messing up.

You mean the bank?

Seriously, I hate shopping for myself, and that's a fully engaging activity. Shopping with someone else where I'm just waiting to be prompted for my input, if at all? Fucking pass.

Few statements predicated on "All women" are true. The same goes for many other subcategories of people.

Not a single person used the word "all" in this thread

Gotta get a folding chair in a sheath you can bust out like fuckin blade.

Are you not a native speaker?

lol women love shopping

But they do?

What do you think that meant? Did you somehow not read it as a generalization?

I am. Are you ?

When people say GroupName, they are not saying "every single member to a person". Generalizations refer to a majority, not the totality.

Clearly a world class nit picker and champion of missing the point.

Go on. What's your point here? That saying "women like shopping" isn't an old sexist trope because some women do? Would you then say that {outgroup} are lazy because some are?

lol. yes. The worst. Never understood that stupidity to run around like that.
Only poor people pay good prices for shitty things with logos, still made with slave-labour. But they try to NOT look poor and achieve the opposite :-)
The real good stuff has no labels. You know where you bought it, you know who made it.

I was nit picking your own pointless (and wrong) nit pick. Don't dish if you can't take

me and my partner are lesbians but we would give anything to make a nathan sandwich lol (sandwiched between us i mean) damn he is fine for no reason

But, I don't want to hangout with those guys. I want to hang out with the chic.

Npt everything is an attack on women.

There are two clothing stores near me and I still have to go halfway across town to buy any clothing for myself.

Depending on which study you're reading, women control between 70-85% of consumer spending in any household. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that a majority of women (as in >50%) or even the supermajority actually enjoy shopping.

Also worth considering: very nearly all stores in most malls are geared towards women as clients, and malls themselves report stats indicating the majority of shoppers are women. My local mall reports 79% female clientele for example.

There used to be a large hobby store near me that had a section in a corner near the entrance with a TV, a couple of couches and eat chairs, a pretty good selection of movies, Legos, and a couple of video game consoles. Great place.

I blame anti-homeless architecture.
It un-normalized sitting.

"We have a men's dept."

bath and body works

sigh

...yeah, technically, I guess 🙄

They all had chairs near the changing room, now not a single store has one.

you know what? i'm a disabled person who needs to sit. i'm going to start making ADA requests for sitting areas.

i need a back rest though. not a butt rest.

seriously. i have two stores i enjoy shopping in because the tenth of the store devoted to men (i mean my body does not look feminine) at least has interesting stuff to look at. cool fabrics and shit.

thrift stores, discount racks, and nordstrom's discount store is where i find interesting fabrics that no one else is buying.

Pros: you find interesting fabrics
Cons: you might end up dressing like me

make of that what you will
