Guys, is it weird if a girl ask for your opinion when buying clothes?

[emmily2396]

Like when she can't decide on an item/outfit and asks you which one you like more or you think suits her the most. I am not talking about her fishing for compliments.

I like it

I like it, but only now and then

Weird, but it is fine

I don't like it

other

I'd embrace it but only to be honest with her. I'd clearly like not to get trapped. If you ask does this make my butt look big, I'd like to be helpful. Maybe saying it the right way but my thing is I would like to be honest in the right and helpful way. I'd like to be the one that helps others to say that dress or those pants look really good on you. I'd like to help you find something flattering now if that means asking for a person at the stores opinion for backup I might do it. But I do know what I like but I would also have to adjust to what a girl likes too

[MeanderingTrex]

I think it's important to note that when a woman is asking for an opinion, it's because they like to know what men think. It's also worth noting that if they don't like your opinion, they just get what they want anyways lol

[emmily2396]

we also ask our girlfriends, probably the whole GAG community as well, so we see what the majority thinks. But probably we will screw that as well and get what we want anyways

[MeanderingTrex]

Personally I don't think you "screw up" on getting what you want. I mean it's what you want right? So why worry too much on what society tells you. That's just my opinion I guess? Lol

[emmily2396]

I usually only ask when I see many things I like but can't decide on 1. But sometimes I get second thoughs and end up not liking them equally, that is why women may ask for your opinion but get something else in the end. If I keep liking them equally I will get what others suggested

[MeanderingTrex]

I feel it, I think it's important to ask people for their opinions, but I think sometimes you should just get what you like lol. If I went to reviews on EVERY restaurant I've been to, I wouldn't have eaten at most, and I would have missed out on a few nice places. I think sometimes people need to take into consideration that some peoples opinions just aren't very good for one reason or another

[NightFlirt]

Here's the thing about clothes shopping, I may like an outfit, but if my SO doesn't think it flatters me, or just thinks it's blah, then chances are I'm not going to wear it again. So I encourage guys to go shopping with their girlfriends so she buys clothes that she thinks are cute and you think make her look beautiful. If you don't like something in the store she'll most likely not buy it, and you won't have to say that she looks good in an unflattering outfit that she bought without your input on.

[RedKitteh]

Honestly, I'm more of a mysterious type when it comes to appareance, so I rarely ask a guy to help me choose, however, if we're about to go out together, I will definitely ask him. I want to avoid a situation where I'm dressed radically different/better than him or viceversa. The point is to look nice together ^^

By far, they were very responsive and actually cared about me asking their opinion, so in my opinion I don't think it's weird.

[nathanp97]

I hate it, because that implies I have to go with her to the store. I hate shopping! I also have no idea about fashion, so what I think looks good others might hate. + anything less than responding with "you look amazing in both" could put you in the dog house.

[Mika1999]

Yes it’s weird, typically girls think that just because a guy says that looks better on you that he’s in to you (wants to fuck you) and that makes their egos bigger, then they reject the guy (even though he didn’t ask you out and doesn’t even look at you that way)

Then the freaks out and ends the friendship.

[cicchis0]

I like it, assuming it is not just fishing for compliments, as you say. I feel like my girlfriends have all been pretty switched on when it comes to understanding what looks good on them, so I know that most of the time they already know whether something suits them and they are just trying to involve me or please me. On the odd occasion when I can tell that they are genuinely unsure about something, I am flattered that they have asked my opinion.

[brigfrey25]

Most often when you ask for a pick you have already chosen one in your mind and you just wanna see if the guy chooses the same or not. It's a weird Fetish you can say lol. Same with us when we ask to pick. But yeah weird depending on the type of clothes.

[Mroz75]

No its not weird at all, on the contrary, and ofcourse not for fishing compliments, but it simply means that she likes my opinion about it, and i may be a special person for having the ability to give her my opinions about it.

Asking for someone's advice about clothes in general means that you care and close to this person, so you'd take their opinions about it. And they wouldn't lie about it. So no its not weird at all.

[13IsALuckyNumber]

I have no idea about fashion and in my experience the same is true for most guys, so I do not recommend asking guys, unless you know they will be honest because they will either say you look good or you don’t because they don’t understand anything else.

[Snickermarstwix]

If I don't know her I'll be open to give her my opinion but if she's my girl... Why would she give a damn? I mean I'm already used to see her dressing very well but I'll still ask her : you want to wear it with what?
So she knows how much I know each one of her cloth cause she's the only one I'm looking at 🙃

[Madhatter920]

No, it's not weird to ask someone's opinion and I don't like or dislike being asked. It doesn't matter to me. I'll answer, if asked, and then literally never think about it again after the choice is made.

[EmbraceThePain]

Not weird at all, why would it be? I’ll give her my honest opinion on whatever she chooses and tell her that just because it’s my opinion doesn’t mean it’s right especially if she likes something and I don’t for some reason.

[EmmaMary]

If I have my husband in tow whilst out shopping, I will very often ask for his opinion on some item of clothing.

[Reaperbot666]

in past relationships. I would typically go shopping with my female spouses. to offer my input when asked.

best was when it was something that flattered her body well. or even made her look more sexy then normally.

[AlexRodrigues]

I don't think it's weird in all fairness my ex use to ask all the time and thinks it's fine I wise to tell her what I thought she looked good although as a guy sometimes I would just lie lol just so the clothes shopping could be done but to be honest I don't really have good sense in fashion I just wear what feels good in all fairness 🤣🤣

[IAMNathanael]

I might think it would be weird of her to ask my advice. I'm probably the last person you'd want to take fashion tips from.

[BCA6010]

I don't think I've ever even been friends with a woman who didn't ask me for an opinion about her clothes.

I don't mind being asked, but I hate when they get upset for giving an honest opinion.

[MrOracle]

It's fine, but don't be that girl who asks for opinions and then always choses the opposite thing. A couple of friends had girlfriends who did that and even as an outsider it was annoying.

[Simplicitysake]

I like it and honored when my girlfriend honors me by asking my opinion. Some guys aren't comfortable enough with fashion to take a stance.

[SjE78]

if a girl comes to me and asked me for my opinion then i'd be flattered as she thought my opinion would be valuable enough to ask

[coachTanthony]

————If women start asking a man about outfits and what to wear he might just be headed into...

The Dreaded Friendzone!

[ohshee]

I like it I love it because I would live to pick out the things I would love to see her in or dress her in

[MrKinktastic]

I’m pretty used to it, but can really only compare outfits directly in front of me with any kind of accuracy
