"Shopping for Women"....?
You too ?
Really ?..... I've been "shopping" for 'em most all of my life.

"Bought " a couple of 'em even ... one for 16 years, one for 10+ years,.... Had to return both to 'open stock' status due to inherent 'manufacturing flaws', of course after paying a huge "restocking fee" !!
Put a down payment on a couple or three that I took for lengthy 'test drives', but again.... inherent flaws showed up, visibly plain upon close scrutiny.
I pretty much don't care for shopping online. Always kinda hard to know what the actual size is, and if course, the quality honesty can often be altered by some good photography. Always better to see in person and maybe even experience some 'hands-on' examination of 'the product', if possible.....dancing works, on occasion.

It truly is a monumental task to "shop for women". I've certainly heard of more than a few guys that were successful way back in high school, that very first 'store' most of us started shopping in. More guys found something that fit while in college or on that first job .... good for you ! For those of us who thought we were being smart by waiting a few years longer, I have to say that I observe only about a 50/50 percent chance of that wisdom paying off, unfortunately.

Since I have stopped 'shopping' with any regularity nor with any urgency or fervor, I find that any 'shopping' that I do, is quite a bit less stressful and allows me to objectively 'shop for quality, & not price or cosmetic add-ons'....two things that can get a guy totally dis-satisfied with his 'new purchase' quicker than anything else I know.
I suppose that being an eternally optimistic guy, I will never give up on the existence of a "best buy", but I now always READ THE FINE PRINT..........when I go "SHOPPING FOR A WOMAN" ........ hehehe.

I think shopping for women was a lot easier in the old days. See how happy she looks.




When I was in high school we had gift exchange. No more than 1 dollar. Went to Woolworth for a present. Lady asked what eye color the girl that I had to get the present for had. She had green eyes so she showed me jewelry that had green stones for .75. Gave my girlfriend a box of chocolate that cost 15.00. She got mad at me because she thought I gave the other girl a better present.
Learned that price is not a good thing to go by.
