While not tech related, this next news story is of interest to every man that has ever had to go shopping with a woman. How I didn't hear about this before today is a total mystery. :eek:
 
But if you're not with her, why go? I'd rather be at home than at some sort of weird manchild daycare.

LOL, I thought the same thing.
I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited to play Space Invaders.
Just look at the dude wiggle that 2 way joystick and mash that one button! :D

Never mind, I just noticed he was playing Galaga.
Yea I'd be just as excited in that case ;)
 
Manland? Where are the strippers? I am sure IKEA has the material in the stores to errect the pole (no pun intended).
 
....i like shopping for stuff to decorate with, hell i've sat at work and modeled my rooms to see what desks and like, entertainment stands will fit with my speakers and shit.
 
I last about an hour in Ikea then start to drag my feet. This is a good idea.

When did you come out? J/K

Heck I love shopping for stuff for my wife. Shoes, bags, private stuuuuf :D Ikea...not so much :D
 
Would have been more cost effective to just lease the space to a couple of strippers.

Their only cost would be to install a couple nice couches, a raised platform, and a sturdy pole with appropriate lighting, and the strippers could work for tips.

But for those of us guys that don't enjoy shopping with our boyfriends, manland is still a neat concept. :p
 
I could see my wife leaving the kids with me. Probably end up being kidland there. Kids with snotty noses and squealing.
 
Doomed to fail.
Chicks can't stand to see a man have fun. The reason they take you shopping is to force you to make some kind of sacrifice for them and to keep an eye on you to make sure your not having any fun. Oh, and to solicite an opinion from time to time that they have no intention of heedind so as to subliminally let you know where you really stand in the scheme of things.

She's welcome to buy whatever she wants with her money. Unfortunately for her, she can't afford the things she wants. That where my money, and opinion, come in.

Amen.
 
Ikea I don't mind, but they need these for stupid clothing stores. My son and I both go nuts when my wife is clothes shopping. Just grab something and check out.
 
Me and the kids just split to the arcade, bookstore, go eat ice cream, play the games at the game store or we have our DS's. Sometimes we just run around the place.

Or...

We just don't go.

It's not that I don't like shopping. I just get what I want and GTFO. Now, with gamestores, my wife enjoys those too, so I'm good to look for the list of games I would like to get.
 
If you are single, are you allowed into Manland?
 
All Malls should have one of these :cool:

Last time I took the kids to DisneyWorld with the kids I had all the best attractions mapped and planned out. We get there and my wife says, lets just start at one end and stroll through so we don' t miss anything ... we missed most of the best stuff but "didn't miss anything". :rolleyes:

Shopping is just like that too.

Seriously Man?

It's just crap we have to endure to insure we get our "treat" for being a good boy. I hate shopping with the wife but I play along. I usually get taken out for lunch and beer afterwards if I'm good...lets not forget the "reward" that comes later in the evening. :D

Oh that's the worst. When they promise you that "reward". But two things can either happen.

1) When you get home they are either tired, feet hurt, headache from being up all day, or any array of ailments.

2) She makes you carry everything. Then walk some more. And more. To the point you are treated like a child. They are trying to wear you out so like taking a kid to the play ground. You want them to get as tired as possible so you can put them to sleep. Same applies here. They walk and walk and walk,stop, look at an item, put it back, walk, walk. Repeat for hours.
By the time it's done we are tired and we realized the "reward" was just isn't worth it.
 
I love how grown men are treated like infants. If they added a twatstop at the home depot every feminist group in the western world would be protesting.

Exactly, if the man doesnt have the balls to tell the stupid bitch he isnt going in the first place, then this certainly isnt going to do any good.

guys, wake up ffs, if you treat a woman like you have to satisfy her every whim, then she's going to take advantage of you.

I used to put up with this crap for the first couple years of my marriage, then one day I had a epiphany - "I dont need her" Once you realize that and begin acting on it, marriage becomes 100% better.

You can get the "reward" elsewhere with alot less effort, guaranteed. Dont fall for that stupid trap.

This a thousand times.
 
My GF works at ikea, so I'm going there to buy stuff cheap often... always get this massive headache/depression near the end, not sure why... (normally I'd get one or two headaches a year) ... and we ALWAYS witness a couple where the guy is totally pissed off. Amazing... I think it's the cinnibun scent, messed with your head.

lol, at least us men don't get all bent out of shape over it, right?

also, for the love of god (or who/whatever), don't go if you aren't buying something for yourself or don't want to go... life is too short for that crap. It's not about sacrifice, it's about respect and sanity.
