Men and boys alike hate going shopping with women. Their philosophy in shopping for boys clothing is to buy what they came for, pay for it, then get as far away from the store as possible. Women are baffled by this behavior as they like to drop by a few shops and browse through different items before actually buying anything. When shopping for boys clothing, women can reach new heights of collecting, sorting and selecting, not because they are clueless about the male fashion trend, but because they want to see what type of clothes suits their boys the most.

The reason why it only takes men a few moments in order to shop is because they are biologically evolved hunters. In ancient times, men had to hunt in order to survive. Their hunting skills involved tracking a prey, hunting it down, and then finally collecting it immediately before it escapes. The same goes for when they shop for boys clothing. Find it, try it, and then buy it. To them shopping is as simple as that. Women on the other hand have evolved from the gatherers of the ancient world. They’re genes are trained to gather only the best ingredients, by meticulously picking and choosing the right items in order for their family to survive the elements. To women, collecting and selecting boys clothes are their way of ensuring that their child won’t get teased while wearing an awful outfit.
