Why Do Men Hate Shopping?

Have you ever wondered why men hate shopping so much? How can someone hate shopping so utterly? Isn't shopping about buying new things for yourself? How could someone hate to get new things for themselves? The whole idea seems completely inane. It is not that men do not like to shop. It is just that when men go shopping with women, they are utterly frustrated and that is why they spread this rumour that they do not like to shop altogether.

So the actual question should be why do men hate shopping with women. That is almost self-explanatory. Shopping with a woman is nothing short of a battle. Apart from being a sheer waste of time, it is like a physical toil to go shopping with women. Men never end up buying anything productive for themselves when they go shopping with women.

WHY MEN ARE BETTER SHOPPERS THAN WOMEN?

Men like to escape the torture of shopping with their wives and girlfriends. Hence, they usually wash their hands off shopping completely. It is better to live in your old T-shirt and faded jeans than roam about the mall aimlessly for 3 hours until something catches your eye.

Read on to know the reasons why men are not as excited by the prospect of shopping as women are.

Men shop for specifics

Men usually shop for specific things they need. If they want T-shirts, they will just buy T-shirts and come back home. Shopping for men is need based and not a fancy. They buy clothes like they buy shaving cream.

It is a waste of time

When it comes to women, shopping always means quite a few hours. But men cannot stand such waste of time. Besides shopping in malls does waste lots of time these days.

Well, it does cost money

Men never do window shopping like women, so shopping for them is not a free activity. So, why waste the money when it can be put to better use.

They are lazy

The whole idea of getting all decked up on a weekend and go to a shopping mall does not appeal to men. They would rather grab a beer and watch a football match at home.

Living up to the stereotype

The 'men hate shopping myth' is so strong that most men do not prefer to shop just so that they can live up to the stereotype. They fear they will be called girlish if they are seen with lots of shopping bags.

There is always online shopping

Why waste so much time roaming about a store when you can just log on to the online stores and buy whatever you want. The 'touch and feel' of shopping for clothes does not appeal to men.

Men are not brand conscious

Men do not care what brand their jeans are from, provided they are comfortable and cheap. Anyway, most brands are targetted at women.

Men hate to try out clothes

Have you ever seen men try out clothes and ask their friends for a vote? Rare, isn't it? Shopping for men is not a communal activity, so why bother to try out so many clothes.
