    this baffles me a bit but why is it that nearly every unisex clothes store has men's clothes at the back or upstairs. (eg. marks & spensers)

    not being sexist here but as a guy i like to be in and out of a shop as quick as possible i don't want to be spending anymore time in there than i have to. Also as most women are veteran shoppers are more likely to go up stairs or to the back of stores


    *edit*

    Topshop in Jervis Street refutes your argument.

    Men will typically shop in a limited number of stores (generally 3-4) where as women will shop in a much higher number of stores. It follows then that stores need to offer a much larger range to entice women inside and they need to push their products alot more. Thats why womens clothes are in the better locations in shops.

    Yeah, ive noticed that too

    H&M have a crappy little corner for men, then the rest of the bottom floor, and the top floor for Women


    Only descent sized places are the Men's floor of Zara/Roches on Jervis street, and Topman

    And why dont Penney's do men's shoes!!!!?

    it's annoying all right, but only when shopping for closthes with a woman or particularily girly man.
    I want to be in and out, it takes one look to see if I like something or not, some people...take their time.

    It's to make you feel like a perv walking past all the "smalls" in the ladies section. :D

    Women are a consumer powershouse - men are a secondary consideration - get used to it :)
