Why men need online shopping

Back when I was just a kid, I recall my father saying he'd be a lucky man if he never had to deal with crowded shopping malls ever again, although looking back they weren't crowded at all, not like today. I really didn't know what he was griping about at the time, but now I see things more clearly. I too share his feelings on shopping centers and hectic outlet malls. Unfortunately my wife doesn't see the problem. To her, strolling through a mall and shopping for new attire is an exciting thing. Maybe it's because I'm a male, but I just don't see the appeal. Why go out and fight the crowds when you can do virtually all of your afrom the comfort of your own home? Hey people, isn't this what PCs and wireless Internet are great for?

Picture this; you head out on a Saturday morning. You and your family are destined for one of the local shopping malls. Most likely the largest one. Naturally these places have more stores to offer. It doesn't typically matter if you have to drive an hour to get there. Or should I say, at least it doesn't matter to your wife and teenage daughters? After all, this routine shopping for new clothes is crucial stuff. When you finally arrive at the almighty shopping mall, you search endlessly for a parking space. It's always like this on the weekend. Everyone and their tiny dog are out browsing around. It's like folks have nothing important to do anymore. So you finally snag a parking space. It's time to venture inside and maneuver through the dense crowds. This is always a blast for men. As you make stops at random clothing stores, you end up waiting for the ladies in your family to try on countless outfits, which for some odd reason takes a LONG time. Then you get to indulge in the gourmet food court cuisine. Yummy! And women wonder why men despise shopping malls.

I will take the web over massive shopping malls any day. Not only does online shopping have everything I'm looking for, I don't have to drive anywhere to shop for it, I don't have to battle thick crowds or fight for parking spaces. I can just lounge on the sofa and surf net-land. On top of that, I'll find the products or clothing I like for less. Now that's what shopping is all about.
