Do you go to the shopping mall with your partner?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Sometimes we enjoy spend an afternoon or an evening there, my girlfried said it's one of her "guilty pleasures" but sometimes she just enjoys browsing and shopping instead of going to out of touch locations and the like.
What about you?

[SuperManiac]

Not that often except to eat or do something fun (not shopping). I hate leisurely shopping with a passion, while my wife enjoys it. So we tend to not go together all that often. She tends to go with her girlfriends usually.

When we go is usually like we might do something in the daytime together like play a sport, then hang out in shopping center to grab dinner or drinks at a bar inside.

[SuperManiac]

My style of shopping is like, "I need new shoes because my soles broke." So I go to the very first shoe store nearby, grab a shoe, try it on, and if it fits I buy it. Done. 10 minutes tops. Then go back home.

@Bluemax Precisely! :-)

[SuperManiac]

@Bluemax I don't see how people (mostly women in my experience) have the patience for that. It's some sort of perfectionism? Like I realize I might be able to find a nicer shoe if I go to all ten shoe stores, but I'm like, "This one's good enough! It's fine! I go home now."

[SuperManiac]

@Bluemax I heard some conjectures about how it might relate to how women did more foraging from an evolutionary standpoint while men were more often the hunters. But that doesn't make sense why they're so picky. I would think a forager would grab every source of food they can, not browse endlessly just to end up buying like a few things after 4 hours of shopping.

[Loving_Husband]

Absolutely! I love shopping... sometimes just window shopping can be fun when you are with your spouse.

[Apple1996]

Me and my husband use to go on dates to the mall. We never acutally did any shopping, we just went there and got into trouble, fucked in the stores, smoked in the bathrooms. You know all the normal shit teenagers do at the mall

[SarahsSummer]

I would love that to be an activity together! but he hates shopping more than pretty much anything and everything else. He gets everything he needs delivered through the mail

[jennifer_bloom]

I used to do that with one guy I liked but we would window shop cause we both had bills to pay off.

Nope, they used to spend a lot of time choosing clothes. I will never be doing that again for anyone. I am usually pretty fast when it comes to choosing something I like. If I. don't like anything, I won't bother trying in something random. It is a bit of a nightmare when others can't make a simple choice.

trying on something*

[Reaperbot666]

In the past I have gone shopping with former spouses. Mainly due to being a guy to carry whatever she buys. But also some would ask my option on outfits. Typically I did not mind going. However I was not big on buying stuff myself. Unless I truly needed/wanted it and could afford it then and there. Do not like having to use a credit card unless it is for an emergency.

[midnightmoon05]

Yes and no. Sometimes I like to go on my own, in and out with what i want/need.
Other times, for fun yes, and great to have their opinion/fashion show. Those I love.
I don't like lines and crowded malls.

[slatyb]

I like shopping with my partner but we almost never go to the mall. We both hate malls. She shops at resale stores. I enjoy helping her find things to try on. It's great to find some new or barely worn designer dress or shoes for $50 or less.

[spartan55]

I think there are only about 3 shopping malls left in the US. So, no.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Really?

[spartan55]

No, I'm exagerrating, but they are dying breed here. You definitely see more empty ones than occupied.

[MissKittyz]

Yes, almost all the time. It is way more enjoyable and fun shopping together than alone lol only thing he hates the most is trying to find parking at a big mall lol

[cirno]

I often go with my brother we usually eat something good and sometimes watch a movie cuz there's a movie theathre there too! Or we visit gamestop to buy some games if there's something cool thats been released

[Bluemax]

I generally don't like shopping, so I only shopped with my wife as a chore; not for enjoyment.

She often shopped for me.

[HeavyRoller]

Absolutely. It's fun to be together at the mall. There are so many things there that spark good conversation, which helps you learn about each other and strengthen your bond.

[EmmaMary]

My husband and I quite frequently go shopping together, even more so now I'm pregnant with our first baby.

[Browneye57]

Sure. Just know that shopping as entertainment and sport will leave you broke. You'll buy all manner of crap you don't really need - they trick you into thinking that you do. It's kind of like social media. ;)

[Hamsteroids]

Yeah sometimes. And it’s even better when you ask him to carry your Victoria’s Secert bag around for you and he’s totally cool with it lol

[Massageman]

Before we had kids and a house, yes, we would "window shop" at the local mall. When we got a house, we moved further away from the big mall but are right among three smaller ones.

[Anet1256]

Only if extremely necessary. I would rather spend my time doing other stuff and he as well

[HOAAH]

We do go as a family, but not to buy anything. Just window shop and eat.

[fauchelevent]

Sure, sometimes we need to buy things, it's more convenient if we go together :P

[Taylor_C]

No, I hate going to the mall and try my best to avoid it.

[Allebana]

No, I don't like going shopping. I'd rather shop online

[Izumiblu]

Ehhh. I don’t like crowds of people. I’ll go every now and then but I don’t like malls really
