Women lead when shopping

Is it always the woman that walks in front when a couple is shopping? What do you think when you see a man tagging along after a woman as they do the shopping? Even in relationships where the man is in charge, the woman still seems to walk in front.

He's probably dragging his heels wishing he wasn't there.

Having said that, I've never noticed it.

Shopping centres be full of landmines of the ridiculous noise.

oh!
I thought this thread was about a new fashion accessory you could make your woman wear while shopping

Show them a mirror and they can deal

If somebody’s ‘in charge’ it’s not a relationship.

A couple of iffy posts there, but generally I would push the trolley and most of the time ask the other half to "move along" in a nice way when she stops and stares at something to long. Neither of us is usually in front though, it's a kind of where are you event most of the time!

If it was me leading the way, we'd be straight out the door so makes sense for her to do it. I hate shopping with a passion.

With food shopping, I lead from the back, as a good leader should with full control over the trolley and therefore a veto on what goes into the trolley. Letting her wander off around the shop gives the illusion of control to her.

I don't understand half the time why couples need to go shopping together. If it's for kids etc fair enough but just wandering around browsing with your man wandering behind with a head on him like a 5 year old at mass. Why not seperate and when she's done shopping she can call and meet up. My ex who was quite controlling and tried to decide my day minute by minute would've hated me going with her. I'll go look at the tvs love or head for a quick pint give us a bell when you're done.

For non-food shopping, I agree. It takes approximately half a second for me to become excruciatingly bored shopping with her. As such, I pop off to do my own thing and we arrange to meet in half an hour or whenever.

And hide your horn when she bends over the frozen foods or when you see the young one stretching up when packing the shelves

of course they'd lead, they know their way around the shops, I'm only there for the heavy lifting, or getting things off high shelves...

anewme · 29-01-2020 8:59pm

OP seems to be led astray.

No harm.

bfa1509 · 29-01-2020 9:06pm

Yes, women are like lead when shopping. It's so hard to shift them out of the shop.

suicide_circus · 29-01-2020 9:06pm

shopping is terrible

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 29-01-2020 10:08pm

You again!!!

Even in relationships where the man is in charge??? Grow up.

Imagine you badly needed to take a shiṫ, and you were trying to find the jacks in a shopping centre...

Why do couples shop together?

I prefer to do the weekly big shop. Make a list, earphones in with a podcast, stick to the list and get the things you need that aren't on the list. Job's a good'n.

I end up shopping with the Mrs for clothes very rarely. Usually when we go shopping for something in particular for me and she looks for something in particular for herself. But she knows better than to bring me for hours of her shopping for clothes for herself. That's pointless for us both so we don't do it.

That's misleading. The route does not show her returning to the original shop to buy the first pair she tried on that day after 3 hours looking at others.

And.... OP is banned

I detest shopping myself. Outside of a couple of examples I've never really noticed the man/woman difference in shopping. Must have been lucky.

Though I've one mate and he'd give me a coronary if I had to go to a supermarket with him. I'm in and out in ten minutes, he'd saunter around for an hour to get a can of beans. His missus would agree with me and leaves him to it. In every other respect he'd be no bother, but shopping...
