The complainers are sissy-boy whiners. Pay no attention to them. Real men like to be teased by sassy women.

Any gift is easy to buy, all you have to do is listen to your wife or girlfriend. They will let you know from time to time what they like and don’t like. Besides, if you are in a good relationship, you already know what turns her on.. Just go get it. Been married 19 years and it works…….

While many men try hard to find that “perfect gift” for their significant other, they are usually completely wrong in their gift giving assumptions. In which case, men are often easily “beaten out” by the wife/girlfriends gal pals’ gift . So just one note to all men out there when they are thinking of gifts to buy: try asking the girl friends of your girl friend/wife, it really saves time in the end.

The problem with men’s gifts is not that there is no thought put into the gift, the problem is he thinks he has given a great gift but it’s a disaster.

You know the scenario, it’s your birthday, your man’s eyes are glazed over with that, “I got you something special” look, his chest puffs out and from behind his back he pulls out that highly anticipated gift. He stands erect waiting for that look of excitement on your face. To your dismay the box holds a wool poncho with embroidered pheasants. You immediately look at your man, expecting him to say, “Oops! Sorry, wrong gift” but instead he says, ” When I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for you!”

Wrong.

Hey, I just saved that site – for future use! I have no Tootsie right now, but I expect to one of these days. This place will be helpful.

Any guy who is offended by the ” â€¦ because guys can’t shop” line are probably … “Girly Men”.

Wusses!

To any “man” who is offended by this:

Grow one and a pair! Or just grow up.
I’ve seen male bashing and don’t appreciate it, but this ain’t it. Going to visit the site and find a nice gift for the Mrs.

I am a woman who doesn’t like to shop (do I hear silence in the room?). I visited romeoshops and gathered some great gift ideas.

Romeshops should expand their marketing capabilities and revise their motto to read: “…because guys and a few oddball women can’t shop”.

My husband wouldn’t be offended…but that’s because he already knows how to shop for me…LOL.

A tip for the ladies…men aren’t mindreaders. If they ask you what you want, TELL THEM…don’t say, “Whatever you get me will be great!”

LOL.

As any marketing major would know, you do not want to offend your target market. By doing this romeoshops has seriously hurt its chances for success.

Personally, as a guy who dates one of the girls in charge of this damn website and as a guy has a reputation as an excellent giftgiver I am extremely offended.

I think that web site is a good idea and I’m not offended by it.

I’ve been married for almost 32 years. I hate to even go into malls and department stores. However, I love to browse in hardware, electronics, gun, and camera stores.

I’ve developed a really great way to avoid having to buy gifts for my wife on all those “required” occasions. Last year I took care of Xmas, birthday, wedding anniversary, mothers day, valentines day, and a few others by buying her a new house. This year I got off the hook by having an inground pool and spa put in the backyard of the house.

A few years ago I bought her a Grand Cherokee Overland. That was good for a years worth of gifts.

One year I gott off fairly cheaply by taking her on a 7 day cruise to Alaska followed by a 15 day cruise to Hawaii.

I suppose it would be less expensive to just buy small gifts for the various occasions but it’s more fun my way.

“Men derive less pleasure from shopping than women. That much is incontrovertible. (Something about wanting to get the kill back to the tribal campfire before halftime is over.)”

LOL!

I don’t “shop”, if I need something I go buy it. If it is not my size after I wash and dry it, I compensate accordingly and go buy another.

This sounds like the answer to my prayers as far as relationships go, I will be bookmarking immediately.

I, for one, am incredibly offended. I’ve been told I shop like a girl; I took it as it was meant: A Compliment.

Shopping is really fun for me. I am in the minority, this I know. My wife, OTOH, can’t pick up the hint I’ve been dropping for several years around Christmas time.

Hi Sister-My hat is off to the Minneapolis Ladies who have seen a need, and answered it with their shop. Some men,fully capable of knowing that you don’t wear a Rusty Wallace Jacket with a Jimmy Johnson hat are befuddled, not knowing that a lady may not appreciate anything he may pick out for her birthday at Sears Auto center. How many men know they can’t shop for the lady in their life, so whatever they buy comes with the return receipt included, to put the shopping onus back on her. I lacked enough “style” to even pick out glasses, and the nice girl at the optometrist’s office chose for me. I credited her with every compliment on how well my glasses look.

Thanks for some good feedback. I own this shop and can’t believe how outraged people have been! Since when do we take ourselves so seriously?? My favorite saying for females is “The pointier the heels, the higher the maintenance”. It’s funny, not slanderous. And I wear pointy high heels- does that really mean I think I’m high maintenance?? Well, again thanks for bringing me back some common sense comments.:roll:
