Suppose you saw a guy shopping for clothes in the women's section, what thoughts go through your mind.
  1. He is gay or a transgender
  2. He is insane
  3. Perhaps he is buying something for his girlfriend, wife, or daughter.
  4. None of the above
Also, what's so odd with men shopping in the womens section. Women shop in the mens section to buy stuff for their Husbands or sons.
My husband buys me stuff all the time so I wouldn't think anything about it.
My husband actually forces me to go shopping for clothes and he picks most of them out for me and waits while I try them on.
If I don't like the way it looks or fits he goes and finds something else and brings it to the dressing room for me and waits until I try the latest outfit on.

That's one section I would never ever visit . I freeze up and weaken on touching a woman's undergarment at all times.

I always feel uncomfortable being in the woman's section by myself.

Unless this man was doing something odd while he was shopping maybe he thought people were looking at him cause he felt uncomfortable.

He was buying a coat for his daughter from southern California. She visited during the holiday season, did not have anything warm enough to fight the cold, and requested a winter coat because there were none heavy enough sold in the stores there.

Good to see there are some same people left in this world.

Its as uncomfortable as hell. Thankfully have only done it once or twice in my life on my own. Not too bad if you are with a lady.

I would not think anything one way or another. There is a local man who dresses like a woman in skirts and heels. He looks silly, but, I suppose he enjoys it.

Ditto. For years I shopped for my mother, aunts, etc. in the women's section, and it never occurred to me that anyone was looking at me as if it were odd for a man to be shopping there. I never had the slightest sense that I was conspicuous in some way or out of place.

Perhaps this reflects a change in mores. I have to say that I am bemused repeatedly by what is considered not masculine in this forum, and it happens so often that I have to at least entertain the idea that social attitudes about masculinity may have become more rigid and I have just been blind to the change.
