I hate looking around. This is when I consult other female friends, especially the ones who have too many handbags that they can fill a suitcase with just bags, and get a quick rundown of what's good for my girl.

Too much work for my mind.

Whatever you buy will be wrong. Hell, half the time whatever a woman buys is wrong and they end up returning it a couple times before they figure out WTF they want.

I have bought a few for my wife with no issues. Of course they are from 1 designer and the store keeps her pattern history on file (I suspect for clueless men).

I did this once. I was intimidated and walked out with a $1K purse/back-pack.

The only things you should buy for a woman are, chocolate, flowers, and jewelery.

As a female, I tend to agree. Get her to choose 5, then go back and buy one of them another day. There's still some surprise, and less headache for you. Or better yet, convince her to carry a wallet or have only one purse. I hate purses, I view them as a necessary evil. Good luck!

jewelry can be tricky. It's times like this when you need a smart female friend to go shopping with you.

Maybe it's just because I don't like carrying a purse, but it seems like that's a difficult thing to buy FOR someone without their input.

since it will be wrong, just buy one for the amount you want her to spend and include the receipt so she can return it and get what she wants

I've bought two things related to this. For one, I bought the matching LV wallet to her purse. That was easy because the design was already one that she had so I just had to pick between 2 or 3 wallets. The second bag I bought for her was her work bag from Coach. I found out from her roommate that she liked a certain design and bought it for her for Christmas one year. It doubles as a baby diaper bag (which she still gives me crap for) but she uses it as her daily work bag. I tend to stay away from it now because she has so many bags and a few favorites that she uses more than others, so any others I were to buy for her would go to waste.

This screams incompetence when it comes to women.

You should know your girl's:

Shoe size, and be able to pick out a pair of stylish shoes for any occasion she would like.

Dress size/measurements and be able to pick out something...

Favorite color

Taste in accessories

Sex toy preference

AND just in case SHE is completely incompetent with the finer things in life, you should be well enough versed in persuasion to get permission to dress her up as fashion dictates, i.e. Pretty Woman. Count the fucking tines, bitch!

You're not a man unless you can go to Victoria's secret and come out with something that will wow your girl while providing you with visual stimulation. Chicks dig guys who buy them sexy underwear.

Disappointing men are easy to come by, huh?

Good wish list there. Shoot for the stars, and you may end up hitting the :moon:.

The bolded part, yes. Everything else is too much goddamned effort.

Hookers are cheaper. But yeah, if you want to sugarcoat the nature of your relationship, this is good advice.

Agreed. I've bought numerous purses for my wife...but ALWAYS Dooney & Burke All-Weather Leather. None of their printed canvas kiddie purses they seem to specialize in nowadays.

There have been a couple of times where she picked out a different purse and I just paid for it...then wrapped it as a gift. "SURPRISE!" :roll:
