And yet, you'd be completely wrong.
When you step into the bra and panty section, any woman within a two mile radius is thinking the same thing: sicko.
Here I am minding my own business, and I just know that women think that I'm a sleaze, who has nothing but trashy thoughts on my mind. When of course, the only thing on my mind is: "She better not abandon me" - as the only thing worse than being caught in the intimates department is being caught alone.
At least with Shira next to me, I can give off the "help me, I'm trapped here with my wife" vibe.
We've since moved onto the petite business suit section. While this isn't as ideal a place to hang out as, say, the tool department at Sears, it is way above the skivvies department.
Oh, and apparently Macy's has taken my advice and setup a half way comfortable waiting area for guys, including a 14" television with a basketball game on it. If they tossed in a Play Station, and didn't fill up the waiting area with racks of clothes, I'd be really impressed.

Hehe yeah, I think we all know that feeling. I feel a little funny even walking through that section in Target, when the main aisles are too full of slow people, and I'm in a hurry. What would be weirder, still, would be actually BUYING that stuff, without your wife along with you. I've never done that, and probably never will. Seems like a perfectly legitimate thing to do, but I would totally feel like a dirty old man searching through a rack of panties for the right size, and then checking out. :)
ReplyDeleteI was even slightly paranoid when buying some tights for my little girl. Felt a little creepy, browsing and buying them by myself. But she needed them for her dance class!
Ben, I think the fact that you were taking pictures in that section was why you got the strange looks :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
