    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.

      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.

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

        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.

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