Stupid Female Tricks: Taking Your Man to the Mall

First off, I like to shop alone. I do go out shopping with my girlfriends but I never buy anything because I don't trust anyone else's opinion but my own. I realized this a couple of weeks ago during winter break when I went out to lunch with one of my girlfriends. We decided to go shopping afterwards and we ended up in Black and White looking at all of the sale items. Of course I headed straight for the fabulous dress selection in the back and I even picked up a pair of off-white velvet low waisted dress pants.

Well, she told me right then and there that she liked the pants because, "You either wear a dress or do nothing at all". At first I was tempted... they were pretty cute and had a nice raised embroidery pattern on the back pants pockets... but then I stopped and I thought to myself...

Am I in love? Would I wear these pants everywhere and with anything in my closet? Am I allowing the opinion of one person change the way I dress myself?

Women who bring their lovers shopping are simply pathetic. The poor guy doesn't want to be there in the first place. He's doing it to make you happy so when he gets you back home he can beat it like a cop. (Sorry for the language, but I had to paint you a picture). I definitely don't want a guy to know how much I spend on my clothes. Most of the men I'm attracted to are total frugal nut jobs and would have a fit if they knew I spent (cough cough) on a pair of shoes. 

In conclusion, shopping with the wrong person can lead to bad decisions. It can lead you to believe that you really should buy the damn pants when you know your hourglass figure craves A-line skirts and figure flattering wrap dresses. People often make dangerous decisions under time crunches or peer pressure. Just remember to go it alone for the important purchases and take a friend when you just want to browse.
