Man Stores vs. Girly Stores

[james.earnhardt]

How many of you had nothing to do on a weekend or simply around the house and need or feel the urge to go to a Man store. Talking about Lowe's, Home Depot, Bass Pro Shops. Problem though, the wife finds out that you want to have some man time alone to look at power tools and she ends up going with you. Well 10 minutes of boredom on her part turns into well you got to go to your store now it's my turn. Yeah that turns into Pier 1, Bath and Baody Works, Women's Clothing stores and so on. Next thing you know your whole man day went from "man that's a cranking stero who cares if its $3,000" to "does this outfit make my but look big" or "here smell this, new blueberry cuccumber lavender blend limited edition body lotion"? Didn't buy the stereo but we did buy the $39.99 bottle of lotion.

It the hovering that kills me at the man store. When I'm at the woman store I look around and make mental notes of what to make fun of latter. WHen we go to one of my stores she hovers and I can just see her thinking "is he really thinking of buying that? I mean I NEED those heels in a different shade of red because I have that one shirt that matches that one pair of pants and neither matches anything else and I don't have shoes that..." Bang

Men are mission shoppers, we set off on a mission to get what we want and then get out of there. An example of this is Xmas
shopping. That is IF we go to the store at all as we tend to shop on the internet.

Women are magnet shoppers. They are attracted to everything so they are constantly touching, smelling, eye balling and cringing about different items that they think we care about but really we don't.

For me the worst bit is when you have to walk through the lacey Bras and knickers section of the Store I mean sheez honey!

Ok... So I got a "gift card" once to BROOKSTONE. I do not consider BROOKSTONE to be a "man store".

In fact it's a pretty useless store in my opinion.

The funny thing is that they sell tools. The tools are nothing special and they sell them because they come in a plastic case and they know that women will buy them either for themselves or as a gift for others.

The funny thing is that while I was in there trying to figure out what to spend my gift card on, some guy was looking at the tools.

One of his buddies comes over and tells him "Put those tools down. Those are sissy tools". I nearly laughed my ass off right there.


oh... what did I get? I got a "breathalizer" that would read your blood alcohol content. Of course being a MAN, I had to test it. Piece of crap read all over the map. It even blew .06 for someone who wasn't drinking. I took it back and got my money back.
