Seriously, that title wrote itself. And my bad on taking so long to write another blog entry. Good news is that I'll have a Friday Shorts entry tomorrow! Anyway, onto the entry...
I'm Judging You: Insecure shopping men
I recently found myself in a Dick’s Sporting Goods, and I realized that my post last week judging girls who bring guys shopping, while true, wasn’t the whole story. Guys in general don’t like shopping. Maybe they think it’s a sign of weakness? Maybe they’re afraid to ask if the store carries that 240-piece tool set in a different color? Regardless, walking into a sporting goods store, you would expect to see lots of happy-go-lucky guys, looking at sporting equipment, giddy with anticipation to go try it out.
Wrong.
I’m glad I didn’t have a ruler on me, because I think most of the guys in the store would have run over to “whip it out” and size themselves up.* Everyone walked around with puffed up chests and serious facial expressions, refused to make eye contact with anyone else, and carried everything in their arms instead of using a basket or a shopping cart (probably a “while I’m here, I might as well get a few other things” scenario). I guess it makes the people watching that much better, but last time I checked, going shopping is not a life or death matter. Are you worried people are going to judge you based on what you’re buying? Stop worrying! That’s preposterous! I’m going to judge you regardless.
In conclusion, shopping does not get you judged. Breathing does.
*- I stand by this statement… no one in the store was that good looking, meaning I didn’t really want to see anything more than I was already seeing.
