Guide to Male Shopping

Can you identify yourself or your husband/partner/boyfriend/son below?

The Rover - Wanders off to a different department or a different shop altogether to kill time.

The Helper - Comes into the dressing-room area or even the cubicle, which can get a pretty negative reaction from other female shoppers and the heave-ho from sales assistants in some shops. sometimes known as The Invader.

The Rock - Finds a place to sit far away from the shopping and stays there till it's time to go.

The Babysitter - Hey, fair is fair. Mum has been with the kids all week; now it's Dad's turn.

The Thinker - Like Rodin's sculpture, this shopper is usually deep in thought - and in time spent waiting. Some stare at the ground, some busy themselves with books or mobile phone games.

The Consultant - Puts other males to shame with his knowledge of his partner's tastes and also his patience outside the dressing room.

The Sheepdog - Subconsciously or discreetly herds the shopper out of stores before she has a chance to try something on.

Mr Social - Talks with sales assistants while waiting. He may even flirt.

The Chameleon - Stands far away from the dressing room, hoping that no-one notices him in the womens wear environment.
