I find the above described act to be a very strange one... and I'm not talking about grocery shopping or furniture shopping... I'm talking about shopping for a new outfit, or shoes. There are a few exceptions to the rule. When men who are fashionably challenged (most men) take their women with them for help or when the men are spoiling their women with a shopping trip for a new outfit or something (props to you men, you definitely know the quickest way to get her to sleep with you and that is probably it), but I would say 80-90% of the time, this is a bad idea. The last time I went with my boyfriend to the mall, he ended up sitting in one of the "rest" areas in the middle playing on his phone for an hour, thinking about all the other things he could be doing. If they are helping you pick out clothes and wandering through rack after rack with you, they are either gay, or... well, they're probably gay. I know the feeling of wanting to take my boyfriend with me to the mall, I ALWAYS want him to tell me, yeah I like that dress, or, naw, it's not my favorite (guys, go with this line, "I like the blue one you had on the other night better than that one, you looked really good in that"... shows you noticed what she was wearing and it avoids saying her fat is hanging over the sides, when it probably is), but the truth is, he would be so tortured in the store, he would tell me I looked perfect in anything just to get the hell out of the store.
So ladies, do your men a favor, and men, do your ladies a favor... shop separately. My favorite thing is to take a picture of myself in an outfit in the fitting room mirror and send it to my boyfriend and ask him his opinion. I almost always get a, "I like it!", but that's just because he's a smitten idiot, and probably a good liar too :)
