Should a guy pay for a girlfriend's clothes when he shops with her?
Should a guy pay for a girlfriend's clothes when he shops with her?
No, the guy shouldn't be paying unless,
a) he offered to take her shopping,
b) is deserving of being splurged on,
c) she doesn't have the money on her but will be paying it back later, or
d) there is an event coming up that warrants a present and the guy is feeling lazy and offers to pay to save having to get a gift shortly.
If the couple shares finances, she should have access to her own money. If the couple doenst share finances, then she should have access to her own money anyways. If she has her own money yet expects to be paid for... ill hesitantly put it out there, that its not as much of a relationship as it is an 'agreement' between and a man and woman that requires to be 'paid'...

It depends on the agreements made and who actually controls the finances; not all women work in their relationships so the male is required to do this and then you have imbalanced incomes and the question of essentials versus cosmetic clothing as well as value and pragmaticism.
I would have zero problems buying a girlfriend clothing she needed such as a functional pair of tennis shoes even if she had an income but I wouldn't buy her expensive random clothing on whim like jewelry.
Unless she is the most selfless, deserving, loyal, sweet girlfriend ever or it's a special occasion then f*ck no. A guy is not obligated to pay for his girlfriend's clothes just because he is her man. She should be able to take care of herself. And honestly, most girls hardly know how to be a girlfriend; they expect more than what they're willing to give and they are high risk for doing some shady sh*t so they sincerely do not deserve to have their man spend his hard earned money on them.
If you have the type of deserving girlfriend who would splurge on you, then yeah, I think you should do a little something special for her every now and then, whether it's buying her clothes or not.

Of course not! If you want to give her a gift then by all means do so. if she expects you to pay for her stuff then she's not worth it.Would you expect your girlfriend to pay for your purchases?
-
no, I've always paid for myself. but if he likes it more than i do, he's paying for it.
lets say i dont want a pair of shorts. but he wanted to see them on me, he's buying it.

if they are living together yes , if they are just dating no
unless its a gift , sometimes rather then a guy picking the wrong thing it mite be better to just take her out and let her pick what she wants plus you'll get to spend time together -
Definitely not, unless you're married or if it's for a present. If you guys are just in a casual relationship, it would seem like you are whipped if you are doing so

I've thrown her a few bucks if she really wants something or I'll sneak away and buy it if a real close present giving event is coming up

No way! The guy is not obligated to pay for anything. She should buy her own things. If he wants to pay, that's great but he shouldn't do it all the time.

No, she can pay for her own stuff. However, if you wanted to take her shopping for a bday gift or something like that then I find it acceptable that the guy pays.

If we where shopping and I was buying something for myself, and she found a cute t-shirt or something relatively simple, then that is fine.

No. I would just have him along for company and opinions. I would never expect that from anyone.

Hell no. Not unless she's wifey or giving him the best stuff ever...

No, I wouldn't expect a guy to pay for me. If he wanted to that's one thing I guess but I would never even think or suggest it.

It just wouldn't bother me, I wouldn't mind treating her if I go with her
