Fitting rooms

men I don't have a problem. I have a problem with people who do not take their little kids in with them and have them stand outside the dressing room [and sometimes bathrooms] and they go wild and stand right in front of their mothers room, then walk away and look under each dressing room at people changing.

i totally agree!!! i remember being in the mall a few times and mothers would allow their little boys to run around the bathroom and they'd constantly be looking UNDER the stalls at everyone.
 
. I still think that most of the posters here that need their partners opinion are very young, as minor things seem much more important then, there's a larger need to please someone else, and women and men gain more self confidence as they grow older which tends to lessen the need for another's approval.

I doubt when you have been married for 15 years that you will still need his opinion on lingerie, as by that time everyone knows that all it's good for is landing on the floor. ;)

Guess again. I am 40 and have been married for 10 years, so by no means am I some young girl who needs their partners opinion. Nor do I need my DH's approval or lack self confidence. :sad2: Just because someone doesn't do things your way doesn't mean they are some insecure, immature girl looking desperately for someones approval. :rolleyes:

I have the ability to clothes shop on my own and, as amazing as it sounds, I am actually able to make a decision on my own and purchase clothes that are a heck of a lot more attractive then a burlap sack.

However, when we shop together, I VALUE my DH's opinion. He has great fashion sense, where I am more of a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. He does not decide what I will or will not buy, he does not decide how much money I can spend, he does not have the final say in anything when it comes to my wardrobe, but I do VALUE his opinion.

Now, maybe some of the ladies here don't care, maybe their DH's don't have fashion sense (and if they think a burlap sack is sexy, I would be worried:rotfl:), maybe they hate to shop and the thought of getting their DH's to go shopping with them is like trying to get them to go in for a physical, but, believe it or not, some DH's do actually enjoy (okay, maybe tolerate is a better word. ) it.

Just because a woman doesn't do things the way you do doesn't mean they are young and insecure. :sad2:

i've used the men's room plenty of times both at work and at bars or other places i've gone. men generally don't care if i'm in there, if anything they'll be like "that stall over there is open if you need it!" i just don't feel like waiting in that long line for the women's restroom.

and i've also changed clothes in my car before. i'm still wearing underclothes but i'll change my shirt and pants in a car. *shrugs*
OMG, you brought back some memories. I haven't changed in a car in years but I do remember many a time giving a trucker more of a view then he should have had. :rotfl2:

And just because a Mom doesn't do the things the way you do, doesn't mean they are creepy, either. ;)
 
I value my DH's opinion when it comes to me trying on clothes. He has great fashion sense and is honest about what looks good on me and what doesn't.

He often goes into the dressing room with me, or stays outside, depending on the logistics of the rooms and what not. I have never had anyone say a word to us or to an associate about it (that I am aware of).

He isn't leering at other women, looking through cracks or peeking under the doors. If women were running around in their skivies or half naked, then of course he would not come back with me, but they are FULLY dressed. Can't understand why people are paranoid about having a man see them fully dressed. :confused3


Hold on, your 18 year old son went into the dressing room with you and watched you try on various clothes?

Okay, now that is just creepy. I don't know any teenage boy that wants to see his mother in various stages of undress. :scared1:

Yes, that is odd.

I don't think I would care. In almost every dressing room I've been in, even if a full grown male were in there, there's no way he'd see anything unless he were acting like a nosy kid peeking under doors. Even then, many rooms don't even have the bottom gap between stalls and the walls in general are quite high. If he went in with his girlfriend/fiance/wife, he would have to be putting effort into being a perv. I'd like to think that if his companion caught him doing that, she'd swat him and/or kick him out for bad behavior. :laughing:

Again, with the majority of dressing rooms I've been in, I've also noticed that the big mirrors outside of the stalls are actually at or quite close to the entrance to the dressing area. If you waltz out there, all kinds of people walking by or standing around are going to see you anyway. I find it far more uncomfortable to go to the entrance so my boyfriend or mom can look at something I've tried on (especially when she still does that pants tug thing to check the waist...). Even worse are dressing areas in small stores where a handful of stalls open directly to the store.
 
If it were a unisex fitting room, I would not have a problem with it...I would be expecting to see anyone and everyone in passing. However, if I were in a ladies fitting room, I would probably find myself uncomfortable with it because I would not be expecting to see or hear a man in the ladies fitting room. I honestly would be curious as to why a man would be in there. I personally would not invite my dh into a ladies fitting room or into a fitting room that was not designated as unisex.....more for the protection of my husband than anything. I would hate for him to be falsely accused of something because he surprised or scared an unexpecting girl or lady (unexpecting meaning not expecting to see a man in the ladies fitting room).

i agree 100%, i value my DH's opinion. i certainly don't NEED it, but i like knowing his opinion on it.


:lmao: yeah i've changed in a moving car before, too. it takes some skill, but it can be done without giving TOO much of a view. but again, like i've said before, i don't care about what some random guy that i don't know thinks about how i look. the only people that matter are myself and DH.
 
Wouldn't bother me a bit to have a guy inside another dressing room with a woman at any store regardless of door type. Do people really walk around naked in the hallway or common areas of dressing rooms were he would be? :confused3 What about the women that walk all of the way out of the rooms and into the store to show their hubbies or friends an outfit and the outfit is only half on because she can't get it zipped by herself? Now she's walking around the store unzipped?

I also wouldn't mind unisex bathrooms if everyone were behind a door, whats the difference?

I haven't seen anyone naked but I have seen women in their underwear. Some women simply aren't comfortable being seen in their underwear by a man. Him looking or not looking doesn't matter. These are dressing rooms for women and women have the right to be comfortable in their own dressing rooms.

I agree. There is nothing wrong with not feeling comfortable with men in ladies dressing rooms. Nothing.

If you don't feel uncomfortable, good for you. But it doesn't diminish someone else's feelings about it.
