Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it’s not clear I’m not looking for casual misogyny thanks

Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I’m wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

I’d love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

    My mode depends on what I’m shopping for and how much time is available, whether I feel like wandering, and whether I know the store at all.

    Let’s say I need, idk, a 6TB drive from Microcenter but I have like an hour to get it. Combat mode.

    By contrast, this morning I felt like looking for some used blu rays at the thrift store and also felt like being a looky-loo.

    If it is something we are both shopping for like garden decor, or we are there to browse like for antiques or furniture, then it’s fun browsing.

    I kind of feel like combat shopping is better solo. Unless the person can walk fast and help me find the thing if I don’t have precise Intel on location.

    Having another person could be redundant unless you don’t know exactly what you want and need to compare and discuss a few candidate items.
