I hate shopping a lot. Even if my wife tells me that we have to go shopping three days after ,I pray third day should never come. I hate shopping as my wife take lot of time to buy anything. She will take half or one hour just to buy one shirt or trouser . I think shopping is wate of time. (for men) Tell me why do you hate shopping or you think I'm wrong and you love shopping ? (for women) Tell me why your husband or boyfriend hates shopping or if he does like going for shopping then why ?

i think you should rephrase that! Why do MOST men hate shopping? coz i love to shop! LOL, find me weird but that's just me. Probably because most men are not so picky like most women. Most men will just go and get what they want and go home, but most women will go and find and compare and took longs hours before they even purchase the first item, that's why i think most husband do not really like to follow their spouses to shop hehehe. That's just my opinion. but i love shopping!

thats great that you like to shop! my husband only likes to shop at "man stores".,, like home depot, or menards, sears-anywhere they have tools, power, and noisy things. but if i want to go to a mall, well, no.

Its not that the men hate shopping. The men usually know wht they are looking for.. the brand or the style and they know where they can find their stuff.. men don't like going shop to shop looking for their type. if they go to a shop and they dont find exactly what they are looking for they are open to new styles and pick another. unlike women who are picky!

Men only hate shopping if the money is coming out of their pockets. LOL :P No, I don't hate shopping - but that's only if I am looking at things I like. If you want me to follow a girl around seeing her try on dresses, I guess I hate shopping too! :PP

mans hate shopping because while shopping it takes a lot of time,almost an hour in each item,and we men hate it. we take very less time in selecting,we look at things and like it.we dont look for a better one,that the difference between men and women.

i love shopping when i want to shop..i think everyone like shopping when they want to shop..but everyone hate shopping when they go shopping for their wife or girl friend..i dont know the reason why ladies are shopping for a long time....if they starts shopping,we should sit on a deep corner of the shop and sleep..after they finished shopping ,we would wake up..

I don't hate shopping..... I just don't wish to make a huge deal out of it. If I want a shirt for example, I will go and buy a shirt! I don't need to spend a whole day looking through store after store after store just to find one. Men generally tend to know what they want and go and get it. We have an idea already of what we are looking for and I believe that as a whole we are not as impulsive as women when it comes to shopping. Simple as that. When it comes to electronics though! Different story altogether! We will definitely take the time there!

ha ha ha, men and shopping, well, men dont hate shopping, I think they fear it. This is all beacuse, when females go shopping men go bankrupt. ha ha , its there pockets that makes them hate shopping. I dont think anything else makes women happy more than shopping and any thing else that makes men fell left out as its there money which is being spent. Anyways I love to shop.

Actually, the roles are reversed in my situation. My partner...He LOVES shopping. He can spend an entire day out shopping and make me go try on many things. But me...I hate it! I would much rather look online and see what I like/want and just order it. But he says that he does not like to buy things that he was not physically hold. He says you don't know what your really getting if you have not hold it and see it. But my reasoning is that is why you purchase from a place that allows returns. His argument is that he would never take the time to return it. Which, I have seen...he doesn't. LOL My argument is that when I get tired of looking online, I can just close it and come back later. His argument is when your in the store, you can go home with it right away. I gave up. When I have to get any new clothes, he must go with me...or I will walk out with nothing or just one thing. When he goes with me, I come back with a LOT more. LOL So...not all men are like that. Some actually like shopping. So I guess he and I balance each other. Because there are times that I talk him out of shopping too. :)

It's not just men who hate shopping. I hate it too and I'm a woman. I just feel like there's so much more out there to do then be tied up in a store looking for stuff. If I could never shop again in my life I'd be happy! LOL

I think shopping is an entirely different experience for men and women. Most men don't like to go shopping because women take longer and their objectives are different. I think there's a shopping gene-and men just don't have it. LOL I'm glad though-I enjoy shopping much more without them.

As a man, I dont really hate shopping all the time. If Im at a store where theres a lot of things I like and would be interested in buying then I can really enjoy it. Its when your in a store forever and you have no real goal for why your there. Thats when I really start to hate shopping. That mostly happens around Christmas time.
