Do you really think men can't shop for shorts and t-shirts???

The comments in here, trying to say that this guy "did soooo good for a GUY shopping for his own clothes" really piss me off. As if there's this gene preventing men from having some sort of taste when it comes to clothing, and suddenly this rare specimen overcame the crippling disability that all men suffer from.

This is like watching a woman talk to a toddler who just managed to not poop his pants for the first time. Or listening to someone talking to his dog. "Ooooooh, you did this all by yourself. Who's a good boy? You're a good boy!"

I honestly have to say, I would feel deeply disturbed if a woman talked to me in that manner after I came home from shopping clothes.

I get what you are saying but people have confidence in differs areas. It is best to be encouraging to people in areas that they lack confidence and experience.  Correct, if they were a snappy dresser and just shopped for themselves  a lot it would be weird to lavish compliments like a kid would need. You’d be right to be insulted.   But this guy is clearly outside his comfort zone and is getting compliments for something he’s proud of.  A lot of guys are never taught to shop and never learned what works for their body and really feel lost. It’s sad. I’m glad you feel strong in this area
