    I’d say it wasn’t about “women shopping bad” but the amount of men clothing’s in stores is borderline boring in comparison.

    Women get 58382992 items in 2838473 colorful combinations, we got 3 pair of pants in black or lighter black. Slightly exaggerated maybe.

      Men’s clothing section, in most retail stores, looks more like a walking marketing billboard with the companies logos plastered all over the front and back.

        lol. yes. The worst. Never understood that stupidity to run around like that. Only poor people pay good prices for shitty things with logos, still made with slave-labour. But they try to NOT look poor and achieve the opposite :-) The real good stuff has no labels. You know where you bought it, you know who made it.

      thrift stores, discount racks, and nordstrom’s discount store is where i find interesting fabrics that no one else is buying.

      Pros: you find interesting fabrics
      Cons: you might end up dressing like me

      make of that what you will

        lol. dunno what nordstrom is, but yes. I found many cool stuff in 2nd-hand-stores. But there the same pattern applies btw. 97% women, 2% men, 1% whatever :) Though i often try to not shop there, as I feel kinda bad buying things others would need more.

          Nordstrom is a rich people mall store in statesia. If you live in the states and have larger than DD cups, you probably have to shop there for bras if you don’t buy online. I like their fabrics but cannot afford them. They have a discount store that sometimes has decent prices called the rack

            Neither live in the US nor shop for bras. As a male, this is kinda boring except for gifting :-) But I’d bet there are equally good bras elsewhere for decent bucks. Quality sure comes at a price, but it doesn’t have to be expensive.

                That’s a lot for a silly jacket. I’m a very cheap cheapskate and this would be a big nono. But if quality is equal to the price then maybe…if one has it to spent…though I would prefer to invest 650 and get one for 50 😁

                  It was really pretty. I have been looking for one its equal for, uh, ten years or so. Maybe longer I can’t remember I’m very grumpy I haven’t found it in a thrift store yet.

                    Understandably. If one finally finds “the one thing” and then can’t have it and never finds something like that again is…frustrating 😁

      Well, it should be, but the dude just sits down at the fire. I don’t see him looking at that shirt, looking around at the women’s options and throwing his hands up asking where the rest of the men’s section is, and if they have these pants in under size 40 like I would be.
