Men in the bra & knickers section

Specialun

I was shopping with the mrs in pennys and she wanted to get few things . I wandered over to the mens section but there was nothing there of interest...so i wandered over and found her in the bra and knickers section...she has a habit of wandering and letting me so a few times i looked like a perv next to purple bra's..i was getting some amount of "you dirty fecker" looks

Is there an etiquitte here? Are some women paranoid that i was looking at what bra size they were picking up?

You were "with the mrs"? Riiight. We believe you.


Honestly, we do.

How Soon Is Now

I used to feel like that at one time but couldn't give a fook now!

Sure what difference does it make looking at a bra unless there's a pair of tits in it!

Try using the ladies when the gents is full. Then you'll know dirty looks.

I think it's a great sign of immaturity if you are self conscious of walking through the underwear department of a store. It's only underwear for goodness sake.

Didn't see that one coming at all!

Tell me about it.

Poor Uncle Tom

Broad smile (no teeth) wide eyes and never break eye contact. You should be on your own in no time at all.

Justb tell them you're sniffin out a few bargains.

I used to work in the lingerie department of a shop and most of the men seemed fine with being there but some of them just looked so awkward. It was especially funny around Valentine's Day when they'd arrive in by themselves, avoiding eye contact with everyone, to buy whatever red lingerie was in store for the occasion. Sometimes a couple would come in and the woman would make the man sit outside the fitting room so she could come out and model the bras for him. :rolleyes: Usually they'd try to go into the fitting room together first. Eh, no.

You'd be surprised at how many women are embarrassed to buy lingerie though. They're much more noticeable than uncomfortable men.

There's no etiquette. Take no notice of those silly bints and continue your fap next to the bra and knickers boxes with the pictures of well endowed/peach-arsed pretty ladies.

Teyla Emmagan

You shouldn't buy your bras in Penneys, the quality is absolutely shyte. Unless you're an AA cup that is, otherwise they'll probably actually damage your boobs.

I do hear they have Ireland's biggest lingere selection however.

In fairness to the OP, he felt he was getting Looks from the women there. If he was, then its their problem, not his.


I would pay no more attention to a bloke in there than a woman, unless he was deliberately being a pest. Wouldn't pay any mind to a bloke buying lingerie either, beyond a mental 'huh. Fair play to you' if I noticed.

It's his imagination! The suppressed self consciousnesses.

Best thing to do in this situation is:

Start making guteral groaning noises, licking your lips while picking up bras and panties...the looks of shock you get is hilarious...especcially if an assistant comes over and asks "can I help you Sir?".... just say "just looking...hmmmmmmmmm"

They run..;)

Get a good build up of spit in your mouth. Then let a big trail of drool down your chin and on to your shirt. Make sure your belt is swinging open and the button of your jeans/trousers.

AH answer- Stand beside the 44gg bra's. Anyone asks just say your waiting for the ladies that need them to come by.

Serious reply- I was in a store with my 13 year old looking to buy her her first bra. Got a few dirty looks but I just ignored it. My mothers friend works there and she came over and rather loudly(so the bitches could hear) asked my daughter "how are you doing (name) since your mother passed away last month, isn't your dad very good for coming here to help you. Cue 3 bright red faces.

I think Caitlin Jenner has freed men of the tyranny of looking like pervs if they're perusing the ladies underwear section. These days there's bound to be a least a few open minded women who'll assume that you're buying for yourself OP.

I hate when I'm trying to shop and some gal has dragged her fella along for no reason. He's just there, in the way looking bored. Why not go somewhere else while she's rifling through every single item on the railings?

I prefer shopping alone, it's just easier . Wouldn't put my fella through it, we both know he doesn't like it. Not sure why couples do this.

One of the funniest things I've seen though was when two couples, unknown to each other, each had their fellas trailing along looking uncomfortable and awkward...they both made eye contact with each other and made the same expression back of knowing despair a wordless exchange between the two lads said everything about the situation.

Why would people give dirty looks to a man in the lingerie department?

Because it's a bit bloody annoying, to be out buying your lingerie and there's a stream of chaps hanging around looking massively awkward and uncomfortable and getting in the way and in turn making you self-conscious through their own obvious discomfort.

It's the same in women's changing rooms - any time I'm in TopShop there's a stream of bored-looking men hanging around outside, watching women go in and out with their items, sometimes staring (no doubt out of absolute sheer bone-gnawing boredom), sometimes shuffling around looking like they'd rather be at their own funeral than there, and yet they'll sit there for HOURS if needs be while the missus puts on a fashion show.

I'd never shoot dirty looks at the poor bloody idiots, but I get why it can be a hindrance to women. You're not exactly shopping for groceries like, you're trying to find a specific bra in a specific size or maybe a bunch of lacy underwear or perhaps a pair of spanx, a bit more privacy is appreciated.

I agree. I see little point in dragging along a man while I shop. Sure what interest would he have in it? None is the answer.

Only someone wears saggy grey, elastic gone keks or Dunnes Store's "old reliables" would ever say "It's only underwear for goodness sake "

Underwear can have incredible power (insert VERY big grinning smiley here! !!)

I wonder would they allow a man into the dressing room with a pair of women's knickers or a bra to try on. I'd imagine some would, some wouldn't. I further wonder how often men of various persuasions have done this, given the times we live in.

Hold one of the purple numbers up to your chest and ask for an opinion to the next gawker.

Agreed.

Men should be banned from public places.
