A Guide for Men Accompanying Women to Outlet Malls

This article is geared towards those gentlemen who have accompanied their significant other to outlet malls. Most of us have experienced this at one time or another, standing around awkwardly, sometimes representing the entire male demographic in a store at any one time. We don’t have much to do or look at, nor do we often know what we are supposed to be doing or looking at. I know I have gone through stores like Jones New York and Nine West and seen the hopeless looking faces on a desperately bored man. I have been that man myself.

Never fear, my fellow men, there are ways to survive such an outing. The problem is not that we as men have absolutely no interest in women’s clothing or shoes. As we all know, clothing has super powers of accentuating women’s bodies in a very positive and beautiful way. Who hasn’t had their engine revved seeing his wife or girlfriend in a sizzling new set of lingerie or positively hot dress? So the problem isn’t that we aren’t interested in women’s clothing, the problem is that we are totally uninterested in the means of procuring it.

The means of getting women’s clothing involves going to places that offer plenty of choices. Thus, outlet malls are the perfect place for women to satiate their inner desires for hot dresses, cute shoes, and accessories. Unfortunately for men, these kinds of places cater overwhelmingly to the female population. Sure, we can find plenty of stuff that we need like sneakers, shorts, a good pair of jeans, or business wear. Unfortunately, men tend to shop for what they NEED at outlets, whereas women primarily shop for what catches their eye. This is where we run into problems.
