10 Thoughts Every Man Has While Shopping With A Woman

Dear men: I am sorry.

10 Thoughts Every Man Has While Shopping With A Woman
The Huffington Post

Men seem to shop with only one objective in mind and tend to stick with that.

Let's take Bob for example. Bob has been using the same worn out wallet since high school and has finally decided to get a new one. Bob enters the store and realizes the wallet selection is towards the back. Bob then walks to the back and takes about 5 minutes to pick one he likes. It so happens that it's on sale, too. Bob is happy! He then walks over to the register, purchases the wallet, and exits. Simple.

On the other hand, his wife Sally is a different story.

Sally wants to buy a new bag because out of the 10 that she already owns, one does not "go with" her new outfit. Sally enters the mall through a big department store, browses, and actually finds a purse that actually would go well with her new outfit. Wow! That was easy, right?

Uh oh, Sally realized she was forgetting to check the price tags. The purse is out of her price range, so she places it down and tries a different store.

On her way to a different store, she spies that a jewelry kiosk is having half off on one of their selections. She stops, stares into the glass case for about 20 minutes, and purchases a few pieces. She made herself feel better by saying it will be good to wear at her friend's wedding. Her friend got engaged last week.

Long story short, after many steps calculated on her Fitbit, Sally ended up spending $200 during her mall trip.

Did she end up finding a new bag? No. She said she's trying a different location tomorrow with her husband.

Poor Bob. Imagine the pain he will be going though?


This one is for all the men out there who stick through the never-ending shopping trips with their ladies. Congrats, you're a good dude. I hope this can be some type of relatable comic-relief for you.

1. "Wait, why are we here in the first place? Didn't we just come here for shoes?"


2. "My legs are killing me."


3. "When the hell can we eat?"


4. "How can she shop for 3 hours long???"



5. "Yes, that outfit looks great on you. No, you don't look fat. No, I'm not lying??"


6. "I don't care if this store is on sale, it's still expensive either way."


7. "Does this place have a couch I can sit on??"


8. "How long does it take for a damn receipt to print?"


9. "Which store hasn't she gone in yet?"


10. "This will never end."



Thank you to the males I have asked for honest opinions; I take no offense to any of this, thanks for asking.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
