Okay, guys, this oneโs for you, well sort of. As a general rule, men loathe shopping. Thatโs especially true when it involves sitting outside a dressing room while their significant other tries on 100 different outfits. In all honesty, that doesnโt sound like much fun.
As for women, a lot of them simply want their loved ones to tag along so they can offer approval. So, to all you men out there, itโs not so much that your ladies want to show off potential buys but more like they want affirmation from you. Even with that insight, some men dread this kind of experience.
And if you need proof, just check out these 50 guys. Just looking at them, you can see how miserable they are.
1. Heโd rather be in a snowstorm
And to prove it, he decided to stage โsit-inโ โฆ sort of. Thereโs good news and bad news. The good news is that heโs toasty warm โฆ the bad news, he looks ridiculous.
2. Double shot of espresso
The look on this manโs face says it all. Heโs shopping with his lady and heโs not happy about it. That calls for two cups of coffee โฆ or perhaps heโs being a gentleman and holding hers while sheโs in the dressing room.
3. He couldnโt hold on
He tried but failed. Weโre guessing by this photo that he and his significant other have been shopping for a long time. And we mean a very long time.
4. Passing the time
You have to give this man a little credit. Instead of being on his cell phone, he opted to read the newspaper. But perhaps heโd be a little more comfortable if he sat down.
5. Best seat insideโฆ
โฆ or outside. This is one cool dude. Not only does he go shopping with his special lady but he also doesnโt mind embarrassing himself.
6. Sleeping beauty
Weโre starting to see a trend here. It seems as though the best way for a man to get a nap is to go shopping with his lady. If this guy ever wakes up, someone could serve him dinner right where he sits.
7. Cover up, please
Look, people donโt mind when guys sleep while their women shop. They donโt even mind if they sleep with their mouths open. But exposing their bodies โฆ thatโs an entirely different story.
8. Now, this is dedication
Often, men will only go shopping if they know a chair and television are nearby. But not this one. Heโs fine sitting on the floor while his lady shops.
9. Making new friends
In some cases, there is an upside. Here, you have two husbands out shopping with their wives. Fortunately, they found each other and have now become best friends โ even if only for a few hours.
10. Feeling defeated
For this man, itโs all become too much. Guessing by his age, heโs been doing this for a long time. Sadly, all the shopping has finally taken its toll.
11. Itโs Albert Einstein
What do you want to bet this man gets a lot of looks everywhere he goes? After all, he has a keen resemblance to Einstein. For him, shopping is probably a little bit fun.
12. Siesta time
Not one but five men all went shopping with their ladies on the same day and at the same mall. But we have a question. Why are they all wearing identical blue shirts?
13. Now youโre talking
Weโre not sure if this is a furniture store or the merchant is kind enough to provide comfortable loungers. Hey, if this is what shopping with a lady looks like, then itโs not all bad. They should be grateful they didnโt end up on the floor like the other man.
14. Bike guards
If you didnโt know any better, youโd swear these men were guarding the bikes. Theyโre positioned as perfect lookouts. Hereโs an idea โฆ while their ladies spend hours shopping, they could make a little side money for their service.
15. Home sweet home
This man looks right at home. If it werenโt for the platform the chairโs sitting on, you might think he was sitting in his living room. Thatโs probably what heโs going for.
16. We three kings
With a chair like that, it looks as though these guys are kings on a throne. Okay, maybe not. But that is a pretty cool place to wait for their ladies to finish shopping.
17. Coping mechanism
This man found a way to tolerate all his wifeโs shopping trips. He takes a bottle of booze and glass along. By the end of the day, he doesnโt care what his lady bought or how much she spent.
18. No pride
Yes, you expect men to get comfortable. But this is taking things a little too far. Lying down on a pink couch, kicking his shoes off, and wearing that get up โฆ he has no shame.
19. โAll by myselfโ
Hey, someone should write a song with that title. Oh, wait, they did. Honestly, we feel a little jealous this man has such an amazing couch to relax on.
20. Something went terribly wrong hereโฆ
โฆor more like several things went terribly wrong. Itโs nice that this man doesnโt mind looking at items his wife wants to purchase. But we canโt get past his outfit.
21. Four ducks in a row
Looking at this, you have to wonder what they talk about. Who knows, maybe they donโt talk at all. Perhaps theyโre relishing quiet time they never get at home.
22. Super curious
This photo makes you wonder what kind of store their ladies are shopping in. It looks pretty high-end. But wouldnโt there be a posh waiting area for the men?
23. Too cute for words
If you looked up โcuteness overloadโ in the dictionary, this is what youโd like find. Come on, you know itโs adorable. If the women are wise, theyโd use this photo for leverage.
24. He looks depressedโฆ
โฆand who can blame him? For one thing, his wife has the cart loaded with goods, which means heโll have to spend a lot of money. For another, heโs doing the one thing that makes him the most miserable โฆ shopping with his lady.
25. Is he real?
The way this man sits so stoically, it makes you question if heโs a real person or a mannequin. If heโs not careful, some kidโs going to poke him to find out. Thatโll make his bad day worse.
26. An imaginary friend
Donโt worry about this guy. Heโs made a friend. The only problem is that no one can see him except this man.
27. Heโs melting
This husband got so tired of shopping with his wife that he melted into her purse. Either that or heโs looking for some snacks. Then again, he might have a cell phone hidden inside to secretly watch his favorite sporting team.
28. Is she done yet?
A big yawn like that is an indicator that this man is ready to go. But we have the feeling his wife doesnโt even notice. Keep yawning, buddy, maybe sheโll catch on eventually.
29. The gathering place
When guys donโt want to go to any more stores, this is where they head. With all the lights and signs, this would make a great movie scene. Now, we just need to come up with a catchy title.
30. The thinker
Doesnโt this look familiar? If this man was made of stone, you might mistake him for โthe thinker.โ But for now, heโs just a tired husband waiting for his wife to finish her shopping spree.
31. The secret revealed
A lot of people think men gain weight because of their wivesโ great cooking. Come to find out, thatโs not it all. The excess pounds come from snacking for hours while the wife shops.
32. The lone man
This guy is so miserable that he doesnโt even know where heโs at. Hopefully, if he stands in the middle of the mall, his lady will find him. The operative word here is โฆ hopefully.
33. Settled in for the long haul
Men often find a comfy chair to plop down in. And many times, they fall asleep. This guy โฆ he knows his wife all too well, so, heโs making himself right at home.
34. Holy cow
Did this manโs lady buy everything in the store? It sure looks like it. From the looks of it, heโs calculating the damage.
35. Shop till you drop
As far as this guyโs concerned, his woman can shop all she wants. Heโs in no hurry. With a cozy chair and a good magazine, heโs perfectly fine, although probably miserable on the inside.
36. Itโs been a long day
The lady is still going and itโs starting to get dark outside. We suggest this guy use those bags to make himself a bed. Thereโs a good chance heโs not going home any time soon.
37. Contemplation
You can see it on this manโs face. Heโs trying to decide whether he should stay or go. We wouldnโt be surprised if his lady comes out and finds him gone.
38. Zoned out
Hereโs another man whoโs left the store to travel to a distant land, at least in his mind. Right now, heโs lying on a beach somewhere. Just relaxing while sipping on a cold cocktail.
39. Playing games
Why not make shopping with the lady fun? Thatโs what this guy is doing. Heโs playing a game of hide and seek โฆ sadly, heโs the only player.
40. That sums it up
Wow, the body language speaks loud and clear. Not only is he miserable but possibly a little upset, as well. Although weโll never know, we wouldnโt want someone giving us that look.
41. She thinks itโs funny
While this womanโs husband sleeps, she laughs. This poor guy is going to be the butt of many jokes. Whoโll get the last laugh when he takes her credit cards away?
42. It could be worse
Getting stuck in a store that sells stuffed teddy bears isnโt that bad. Think about it. This man couldโve ended up in the feminine hygiene department.
43. Next
This is what youโll find at most womenโs dressing rooms. The men stand outside in a line waiting for their loved ones to perform a fashion show. What a pain for the guy whoโs last in line.
44. The face-off
It looks as though these men are in some kind of competition. Facing each other, the goal is to see who can stay awake the longest. Hmm โฆ we wonder what the prize is?
45. See, itโs true
Even Santa has to appease Mr. Clause. But itโs only fair. After all, he spends a lot of time preparing and delivering gifts for others so she deserves a trip to the mall.
46. Husband in training
Thatโs the way you do it. Start them out young and by the time they grow up and get married, theyโll love shopping with their wives. Not really, the only difference is they graduate from the floor to a chair.
47. In honor of
No, this isnโt a human. Rather, itโs a bronze statue of a man sitting on a bench inside a store. Itโs meant to honor all the guys who miserably wait while their ladies spend money.
48. Whatโs he looking at?
Is it the floor, an untied shoe, or maybe his dentures that fell out? Oh, wait. Heโs not looking at anything, just taking a nap.
49. Heโs got the shopping thing down pat
Okay, this man might be miserable but at least heโs super comfortable. Who wants to sit in a chair when you can lounge? Weโll give this guy two thumbs up.
50. Donโt mind waiting
Like many others, this man hates taking his wife shopping. But at least she chooses places with good scenery. Heโs just one of many men who encourage their wives to take their time.
