To be mildly miffed when in the lingerie department..

[annaop]

.. men with their other halves still manage to have a quick gawp at the lingerie you're looking at rather than the lingerie their OH is looking at.

The last time someone scrutinised my shopping I added a vibrating cock ring and 3 packs of condoms (what awesome timing being right near that aisle in a supermarket).

Ah yes, the Morrison's vibrating-cock-ring aisle, between wet fish and tinned goods. Or do they now do this in the middle of Lidl?

I occasionally nose at what other people are buying especially in clothes/lingerie shops if something catches my eye, sometimes I spot something I really like that someone else has got hold of and then go off on a massive search to find it 😂

Sainsbury's actually

I'd have held the bra up, given a cheeky wink and asked what he thought.

I think there are a lot of men on this thread. Of course, it does have ‘lingerie’ in the title so….

I had to laugh at this silly thought process.Maybe blinkers should be handed out to all men who are staring at knickers and bras in stores.

Just - mate - when you're with your wife/OH in the lingerie department just concentrate 100% on her and the items she's looking at.

if you weren't wearing it, what is the problem?

It's because it's a man isn't it.... the hatred and clutching at straws to spread more hatred, is dull now

Yabu.

@gardeninggirl68 Jaysus thats a bit extreme, where did you get the hatred bit from that post??

I guess so too. Btw YANBU op

I'm with you on this OP but it seems many here can't seem to tell the difference between doing a weekly shop and choosing underwear....

yanbu none of their business to look and see what you're buying

Just bored I would imagine. If I had to be dragged into the men’s underwear department I would probably look around at anything moving out of complete boredom.

I've honestly never noticed this. If I've dragged my husband to m&s he's usually looking at BBC sports news while I shop! Are you sure you haven't imagined it?

If you’re shopping in a specific women’s lingerie shop YANBU

IF you’re shopping in a supermarket/department store YABU

As a man (reading this thread - not JUST because it has lingerie in the title) I hate being in the section at all and keep my eyes firmly on the floor.

I can't tell you how happy I was that the first comment on the thread was Father Ted related!

It depends how they do it. My dh avoids the area as finds it awkward and doesn't want to look at anyone by accident! I sometimes do it too

I get pissed off with men trailing round women's clothes shops after their female partners full stop.

They never want to be there and have a habit of standing right in front of the items I want to look at or they're engrossed in their phones so have zero awareness of their surroundings so are just in the way.

Yes poor chap was probably just bored, rather staring lustfully at you 🤣🤣

I’m amused to think of all the mumsnetters walking around shops yelling “EYES FRONT kids, if you glance at another shopper’s basket a fairy dies” 🤣🤣🤣

They sell vibrating cock rings in your local supermarket?!

I think you're being a bit silly op.

I was trying on a jumper in the changing room. When I came out my husband pointed out another woman was wearing the same jumper. Men have eyes too, you know and not in a prervy way.

What are men supposed to do? Eyes down and not look at anything other than their wives? I imagine most of them try for that, but it's not that easy.

I am a people watcher though.

Also it's years since I shopped for anything other than big knickers and sports bras, so I may be out of touch.

I'm not a man.
