Those benches they put in Shopping Malls are there exclusively for the use of husbands and men who mistakenly go with their girlfriends shopping. Without them, men would just walk away...

I live in a touristy town, with lots of "cute" shops.

There is also a nationally known vintage car business in an old garage, one block off the main drag. Great old cars and memorabilia in a stinky, gasoline-y environment. It's great.

Whenever I see dejected and patient men sitting on the benches, I tell them about the cars, only one or two blocks away.

This is just stupid. The man either needs to be there or they don't.

If you actually need a new couch/desk/bookshelf/whatever and if you don't want to look at some flat pack crap every day, you might want an input into it.

If you don't need to be there, FFS grow a pair and tell your partner you don't actually want to go shopping with her. Do you really want to spend your free time at some stupid "man creche" in the soulless hell hole that is Ikea?

IKEA is one of the few stores I actually enjoy shopping at, there is cool stuff everywhere. It's the monotony of clothes shopping that really bores the crap out of me, but that's what books are for.

Yeah, you know...this is actually pretty insulting to men. Like, really.

I just fell in love with you a little bit.

Xbox??
Give me one of those rooms filled with balls like you have for kids and hide some chikas in there....

Booze and bitches and well have fun at ikea...

This would be the new Ikea in Springvale near me (sort of close anyway) I'm guessing.

And yeah, I hate this sort of bullshit. The guys who end up going in there are pretty pathetic really.

I love Ikea, all those little pretend rooms, it's awesome.

What's the difference between this and the guy staying home and paying X-box and watching TV?

Two words: pack mule.

Dropping us at mancare seems more humane than chaining us to a lamp post.>> ^messenger:
