because, they PAY?

I guess, simply Men can't tolerate women looking at choices (no pun). LOL...

Because it's boring. Unless you are shopping for a new motorcycle, Zero fun factor

Boring ???  surely not!! 
Ok, grocery shopping clothes and shoe shopping can be boring for men.  But surely you like to go hunting for little vineyards to taste and buy some good wine Mark

Well, if that is shopping, I am all over it.

But shopping usually involves looking at 17 dozen pairs of shoes and then going back to the first shop you went to and buying the first pair you tried on.

Boring.

cause sitting in a panty store gets them sorta turned on so they have to think about other not so pleasant things so that they don't get a chubby and get scorned by natures actions.  LOL.



They just don't like it cause it's boring.  My husband seems to have no trouble going to a video game store, which I hate going with, and he hates to come to the grocery store, which I also hate.  Wait....it isn't just guys who hate shopping.

Boring.

It also often involves tactfully explaining that tis blouse is just as flattering as the last 28. Even if they all looked like the same blouse.

Because of queues, because of shop assistants that don't help but hassle you, because often they have everything you don't want but not what you do, because you get to see loads of things there's no way you can afford, because it's boring and because I never have enough money for buying anything apart from items I need - and sometimes I don't even have enough for that - and it's time consuming! Yes, I hate shopping!

Because we usually get dragged to the shops by our other half who just wants to look at clothes and jewellery all day long and not go anywhere near the toy or gadget shops..or even the comic shop....I'm sure some of the people in the womens clothes store think I'm eyeing up a sexy little number on the clothes rack for myself...talk about feeling paranoid!

In a scale of zero to ten, I would like to rate shopping as six. I don't really hate shopping because I always have a list and I'm not ashamed of looking at it in the grocery or mall. The list is a sort of  a map-guide for me and I usually do my shopping in 10 minutes (for short errands) to two hours (for buying a month's supplies). It's basically about making up your mind in buying and not regretting that you haven't bought a marked-down item because you haven't seen it. (Marked-down items are still expensive, read the books "Freakonomics" and "Undercover Economist".)
I'm an Asian and usually salesladies are actually friendly here. I make a little chat, ask advise on what's good and the next time I come shopping, they'll be the first to offer help. That's rapport - it's good for business networking too.
Well, people are really different but I enjoyed shopping because I only shop if I really have to buy. I usually go "window shopping" with my wife but I always buy items (for my own use) by myself. My wife is a bargain hunter, so I don't usually drag her along if I really love to buy something that's not on the bargain. But if I wanted to buy bargains, my wife's the best adviser yet.
So, men hate shopping because of hassles that goes with it, not really the shopping per se.
