I just heard a radio ad for the Fabric Warehouse, they listed all ofthe things they had, and finshed with "There's a play-area for children, and newspapers for men."
Because real men don't look at fabric, and the good people at the Fabric Warehouse know this.
Still I think they should have game consoles for men.

Decide what you want and where you're gonna get it before leaving the house.
Go straight to those places, do your chores and come home.
It really should be that simple.

It's funny because it's true.
I was sent out on Sunday to exchange a top in Woolworths, and pick up free cinema tickets.
So I took Malibu with me, and we went to the following places: Cinema, Woolworths, Game, HMV, Game Xchange.
We knew where we were going, and we went only to those places. We were back at the car within an hour of leaving it, because that's how we work.

Craw has it exactly.
You can see us in John Lewis etc, men milling around desperately seeking the momentary connection of another male in the vicinity, where youe exchange glances that say
"I have not been emasculated have I?"
"No man-brother, we are being sensitive"
We congregate in areas like the TV section, despite the fact we hate electronical hardware or shrug when she says "Can we go in here now?" whilst already through the door.
Yet, here is a universal truth, they will come seek us and stand next to us in video games stores or HMV.
Have the decency to wait outside and smoke, like we do.
Don't stand right next to us and say "anything?" indicating that we are not purchasing and should therefore assume the Mall-Man-Role of "Pack Horse" and carry your frilly purchases.
Men need men for shopping, dammit.
2 men shopping:
"Let's go to Lakeside"
"Alright"
We park and head for HMV.
We then head for Game Ltd.
We then leave after 1 hour.
2 women shopping:
"Let's go to Lakeside"
"Oo lovely"
They park and head for a coffee
They then wander with no specific shopping agenda
5 hours later they go to the 1st shop and buy a top.
We cry and pray they stay out longer so we can finish GTA3

90's man?
Bah, give me video games and FHM to read whilst my lass tries on 6 pairs of leggings, despite the fact THEY ARE ALL EXACTLY THE SAME.
Sorry, residual shopping psychosis here still.

No more uncomfortable shuffling impatient men waiting outside lingerie shops too.
You're standing outside there having a fag and there's another bloke on the other side of the door. YOu give him a nod and you both know what the other is thinking.
'Get me out of here, now.'

"man areas"
That rules.
Looks like 90's man died then, and now we don't want to go shopping, but wait in our specially designated areas, with violent videogames.
Men rule.

Now that is a damn fine idea.
Some stores in the USA have "man areas" with papers and vending machines and sports tv.
"Changing Room Beat'em ups"
Tekken, Battle Arena Toshinden and Virtua Fighter.
And GTA3 and Knockout Kings.
With some twiglets and pop.

It's a start...
What I'd like to see is consoles set up by changing rooms in New Look, so while your better half tries on 15 identical tops and 3 pairs of trousers "to see how it would go", you can give the bloke next to you (in the same boat) a bashing at Tekken.
