Men in lingerie shops - yay or nay?

[safiya6]

Could I please ask the MN jury...If you were to go into a lingerie shop which was quite small with only one or two customers and there was a man sitting there on his phone, would this put you off shopping or taking things into the changing room?

I don’t think I’d mind as long as he wasn’t in the changing rooms?

No. I would assume he was waiting for his partner. If he was actively shopping I would assume he was shopping FOR his partner. Either are fine with me.

Wouldn’t bother me. It’s just clothes.

No, hes either waiting for his partner or buying lingerie for his partner.

Why should it be an issue? He’s entitled to be there. They’re not women only shops.

Not an issue, no different to a woman in the boxers section of M&S.

Wouldn't bother me at all. I'd assume he's waiting for someone or buying for someone.

Tbh it would put me off

The man in Matalan closely observing my pants choice whilst jiggling his pocket hand was a definite nay. Dude hanging around on his phone while he waits for his companion to finish her shopping, fine.

I doubt I'd even notice him.

What a strange question...

Are you going to be trying on the lingerie just in the changing room, or parading round the shop in it?

I don't get it. Why would it put you off shopping or taking things into the changing room?

Really? That's ridiculous.

Here we go again

a public place? no. no issues

lingerie shop? do you mean ann summers type place?

oh kubex is it one of those threads?

Thankyou. I met my friend for lunch today. She told me she went into a lingerie shop and DH was sitting there taking a business call. She said she felt awkward and another woman and the staff were actively waiting for him to leave because they had finished wrapping his purchases. She said he should have the sense to not take calls in a women's space and should have gone outside because he was "forcing customers out." I know the shop she means and it's not large, but surely a shop is a public space?

No problem.
the only law I would pass that unless he can prove that the underwear is for him to wear, men are not allowed to by red underwear.

If he was concentrating on his phone I might not mind.

I absolutely hate it though when older men my age are trailing around after their wives in the lingerie section of m&s gawping at the bras and knickers

I make a point of tutting at them

Buy

No wouldn't bother me but I hate it when there's men in the sex toy section in Ann Summers watching what I'm buying. But not if he was just sat there minding his own business.

Whose DH?

just 'older' men mairead?

Wouldn't bother me
