    Sometimes it´s nice to go shopping with my dad and make him buy more things than he wanted.
    But I like shopping with my own money as well, I just use not to have much money most of the time.

    I HATE, hate I tell you, wondering around girly clothing shops with my girlfriend. However, I do enjoy making crude jokes about the underwear.

    I hate shopping. I only go to the store if I know what I'm going to buy before I leave. That way you only buy things that you actually want.

    If it's buying books then, yes, I do love a good shopping spree.

    Any other form of shopping can burn in the hottest flames of hell, now please Clothes shopping especially needs some extra petrol pouring over it so it goes up with nice, high flames.

    I despise shopping for clothes. I only enjoy shopping for books and computer games. I'm a very business like shopper usually though, it's in-out. I only ever go shopping if I know what I want in advance.

    Like most guys on this earth... I abhor shopping in any form... when I mean shopping, I mean walking around a store or mall and just looking at things for a while.. and then if you have enough money you buy it. I know exactley what I want before I get it...then I get it... and leave very quickly. I do remember going with my ex girlfriend to Victoria's Secret a couple of times though... And I don't consider that shopping.

    Being of the male gender, I find that the only right kind of shopping is to know what you want, go in, get it, buy it, and then leave. Browsing books is fun though.

    I second BKS and Crazed Rabbit's opinions. Shopping for clothes is torture!

    Mostly because I don't overly care what I ware. I care enough to avoid looking extremely strange, but not much more.

    I like shopping for anything other then clothes. Clothes are torture for me, and women love it for some reason. I don't get it. But yeah I love to buy DVD's for my collection, I usually know what I want before I awlk in the store. Can't really afford to go on an all out shopping spree, well I can, but I don't feel like having no money for school and getting laid(a.k.a. dating), or at least trying to.

    But with clothes it seems like it's pointless, you search for something you like, and then BOOM! Doesn't fit, oh well... and this goes on and on and on .... GRRRRR!

    I do enjoy going out to the shops and buying some really good books, I probably tend to buy far too many, there are still many I havent got round to reading yet, but I just can't resist a good book and I feel I just want to get 'em all.

    That aside, I don't really care for shopping, well I like looking for books. And I suppose other forms of shopping would be more fun if I went with people I want to be around and might have some vague notion of how I think. Not that I like spending to begin with... Oh well...

    Gah! Oh well, it's been a while since I've had occasaion to say that in some things I'm not a female, I'm a frog. Women like shopping; frogs don't.

    I've never liked clothes shopping. I've never liked most shopping, and to be honest I suspect the real reason I like book shopping is because it involves books. My boyfriend likes clothes shopping more than I do, and he only likes it if he gets to play 'dress the frog'.

    The origins of my hatred stretch faaar back, to the time when I was just a little frog. A tall little frog, who was always too tall for the clothes made for her age group. A tall frog who was very slender. That necessitated a lot of hunting about for something which fit on height but didn't look like a tent. Then I had the misfortune to collect a load of curves, and the situation only went downhill. 33, 25, 34 = a frog, and also a near textbook British size 10. 35, 28, 32 = the freakish figure all clothes in size 10 now seem to be made for. That is carrot shaped; big top, puny lower half. Size 8 is now all but identical to the ruined size 10. Nothing fits! Gah!

    So not only do I get the outright horrors of clothes shopping, but I have to trail around a few thousand shops and it's still rare for me to find anything which fits anywhere approaching decently.

    And shoe shopping? Gah! again! I've got size 5 1/2 narrow feet. You can get 5 or 6, and narrow seems to mean boat-like.

    Now book shopping? Stage 1: Decide on the titles you want, walk in, check shelves, find they haven't got it. Total time = 3 minutes. Stage 2: Order it off Amazon. Total time = 2 minutes, and money saved. Alternatively, just order it off Amazon in the first place, et voila.

    I have to say that shopping for clothes and shoes ranks just above biting my own hand off when it comes to my least favourite things to do.

    I don't much like shopping in general, because it involves spending money, which to me is something to have and not to spend (don't ask).

    When I do buy stuff, I try to buy it online when possible. Cheaper and you don't have to leave the house. Lovely. Plus you don't have to physically hand over your money. Which is good.
