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!

I go shopping with my wife sometimes and do standard husband things:

Hold up a bathing suit and ask, "Does this make my butt look big?"
Feel up women's pajamas with suggestive looks...
Read the ridiculous phrases on their clothes and just riff on 'em
Act like a child and try to hide behind some thin dress like she can't see me, then pop out and accuse her getting scared
Suggest ridiculous accessories and insist she'd like good in them (she would...but it's not her style)
In sum, pretty much everything except help her shop

I'll add hitting on the mannequins and slapping their asses when I walk by.

Is your wife named Donna?

Ugh. I hate puns, but that was funny!

That's exactly how Donna feels.
