“Oh my God! This dress is just so divine!!!”
This is the phrase that would make most men cringe with agony. You and your girl are on a date, debating the fine line between barbarism and justice with Saddam’s execution (something you know absolutely nothing about, but pretend to be a genius on so you can finally get laid) when you suddenly pass by Mango. And just like that, you are suddenly forgotten and suddenly the world seems to revolve around the amazingly overpriced jeans, shirts, fur coats, and other merchandise that they sell. But you’d suddenly make a rude reentry in her universe come payment time.
“Buy. It. For. Me. PLEEEEEEEEEEASE?!”
The aftermath of said reentry in her universe would be:
- Your diet would consist of Lucky Me instant noodles until the next payday
- You’d be selling your house (and your mother) so you’d be able to afford your laundry
- You’re riding a bike to be able to go to your office in Makati. You live in Bulacan.
- Basically, you can afford buying her ten more dresses in that price range, but you’re just a miser and you pretend to blame her for your apparent poverty just for kicks.
So, how to avoid the dreaded shopping request?
Guerrilla Tactics
Before you roam the mall, make sure you’ve already memorized the mall’s layout so you can avoid any clothing store successfully. Y’know, when you get dangerously close to a shop, you grab her arm in the pretense of being sweet and steer her away from that godforsaken store. However, this strategy may lead to unfortunate results such as this:
Girl: Oh good, Zara is this way… they’re having an awesome sale-
You: Oh look! Toasters! Let’s go this way!
Girl: But… Zara… clothes…
You: Toasters are this way! Toasters are like so awesome!
Girl: You bring me to Zara this very moment young man, or you’ll go home with your testicles in your mouth.
You: OMG!
Girl: LOL
You: WTF
Girl: sux0rZZZ
iPod: Your saviour
I know, it’s such an ugly site to see people walking around the Ortigas area with iPod ‘buds in their ears and being oblivious to the ten-wheeler truck with the drunk driver barreling their way. In other words, if you look like a refugee from the Atrocities of Friendster, iPods, however cool and trendy they are, just don’t make you look cool. Sorry.
But iPods, leading cause of death for fags and posers as they are, can save your bank account (provided that you and/or your “benefactors” can afford it). Just put a pair of iPod ‘buds in your ears, put it at extremely loud volume, and pretend to go deaf. Make sure you’re not listening to Spongecola or Rocksteddy because everyone will be able to hear that your musical tastes are shitty and laugh at you. And call you fat.
Feign Poverty
This should be considered a last resort. If your girl pulls out your iPod earphones out of your, er, ears and demands that you buy her the dress, you’re in deep shit. There’s absolutley no way to talk yourself out of that situation. But of course, you can always feign poverty.
See that fine-looking gentleman on the left? That is how you should get dressed on a date.
Let me describe the fine art of feigning poverty:
- Do not get a bath for two months
- Make sure you dress in only the flimsiest t-shirt that you can find in your local grabage dump
- Don’t wear underwear. Make sure that your ‘nads are showing through your shorts
- If you DO feel the need to wear underwear, an SM Hypermarket grocery bag will do. Don’t go for those fancy boxer-type shorts
- Grow your hair and don’t shave so you’d look like Vic Sotto during his VST & Co. days.
- Make sure you have that nice, soothing aroma of rotten meat mixed with human, um, you-know-what.
If you follow these steps carefully and to the letter, I can assure you that your girl won’t be asking you for anything anymore. I’m sure you’d even find yourself with a load of dates you can’t even handle. Trust me.

This is why I go for girls who don’t like shopping much. No, it’s not an urban legend. They do exist. They’re hard to find, but they’re out there. Somewhere. *cue X-Files theme music*

Bwahaha! Please, like I can do that to my friends. They call me weird because I don’t like shopping (makes me sleepy, really. Even my mom says I’m a bad company).

Nah, you can just frankly admit to your girlfriend that you can’t afford it. Enough of her lousy whines. If she resists, gobble her with your iPod somewhere outside Toasters and have her raped by that psychotic vagrant. Joke.
…err, what’s Toasters anyway? ^_^

Yeah, what the heck is up with those Ipod freakazoids? I’m betting they might have compromised a basic necessity or two in order to amass themselves a Nano. What an utter bunch of social climbers.
Dude, thanks for the laugh!

This is soooo funny! Although, I have never really been in this kind of situation. I hate shopping with guys/boyfriends as they just get in the way and sulk at you while they wait like spoiled little brats. :D
I only need them to carry the bags. LOL

good thing my man doesn’t have this kind of problem with me. i hate shopping for clothes. but when i really want something (like a gadget) and he feels he has to buy it for me but can’t yet, he just tells me that he’ll save up for it and buy it next month (or whenever).

HAHAHA. This is so much fun. Guys won’t have trouble shopping with (& for) me for clothes, because I’m frumpy like that, but they better steer clear of bookstores & places to eat, hahaha.
