Every store I go to now doesn’t have a chair. They all had chairs near the changing room, now not a single store has one.

I call them 'men benches' and that's where I'll happily peruse some Lemmy when the missus is shopping

I blame anti-homeless architecture.
It un-normalized sitting.

Yep, I currently gotta get around with a cane.

Can't stand up for more than about 15 minutes straight.

Went to the DMV the other day... strategically sat myself next to a pair of 20ish yo brothers, waited untill it was maybe 15 minutes till my ticket would be up, and asked if one of em could pull the chair I was sitting in over to the actual service window thing.

Thankfully this worked, they were mostly happy to have someone to chat with..., one of them's phone had died and they kept trying to check it...

But uh yeah, yeah... you'd think it would maybe occur to, I don't know, a presumably ADA compliant government office, that there exist mobility states in between 'fully mobile' and 'in a wheel chair'.

Oh also yeah just fuck you and die if you wanna take busses anywhere, can't have homeless people with anything resembling a bed, therefore if you're crippled, well just suck it up buttercup.

There used to be a large hobby store near me that had a section in a corner near the entrance with a TV, a couple of couches and eat chairs, a pretty good selection of movies, Legos, and a couple of video game consoles. Great place.

Oh, I thought it would be a huge store full of purple and other colors, and then half of one rack in the corner filled with grey, with a sign next to it that says "Fuck You."

No sign, but there is a plain gray/white t-shirt there in the men's section.

(edit: Oh, and a sock and underwear. This place has everything!)

I mean I unironically love posting up in a back alley and having a chat with some random smokers/vapers, and I love camping.

Now, I love going shopping with a lady as well, but only if they're honest with themselves and actually give a shit about your fashion sense, as applied to them.

If they're genuinely looking for advice, ideas?

Hell yes, fuck I'd call that a fun date, or at least a part of one.

If they mostly just want you to be there as an affirmation machine?

Byeeeeee~!

I have to research before i know which of the clothing shops in a new city has any mens clothes at all. Ratio is ca. 1/4. And then 2/3 is for the business guy body type.

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

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.

Gotta branch out. I'm fairly certain a few thrift store shirts I have were left in the mens section by accident because the buttons are on the wrong side.

Atlanta GA here. Sometimes there's good finds but the hit rate of men's clothing is proportional to the wider Western culture imo.

It's dreadful. A few years ago the "The wife did [insert silly thing tech-averse or shopping-obsessed person does] so I did [insert I-am-very-smart-action]" jokes were dying out, or so I thought. But hey, they are back en masse, and worse, re-done by a younger generation who fancies themselves emancipated and modern. Yuck. If you find living and/or spending time with your chosen person of the opposite sex so horrible please just don't?
